Earlier this month, chef Jennifer Jasinski and longtime business partner, Beth Gruitch, announced that they would be closing one of their four celebrated Denver restaurants and would “pass the baton” at two others. But the pair will hold onto Larimer Square’s Rioja, which was their first restaurant. “We’re not dead yet,” Jasinski laughed as she referenced a Monty Python bit to describe the newest phase of her lauded 25-year-plus career in Denver. Stoic & Genuine was the first restaurant to open in Denver’s historic Union Station after a 2014 revamp.
