Caroline Glover founded Annette in the fall of 2016. She named the restaurant for her feisty and brilliant Great Aunt Netsie, a novelist and short story writer who lived in small town Texas. Netsie didn’t teach Caroline to cook, though her tamales and martinis were exemplary. Instead, she taught Caroline to have a strong opinion. That confidence in her own good taste has carried Caroline through 15 years in the restaurant industry.<\/p>\n
The 2022 James Beard Foundation Award Winner for Best Chef: Mountain, Caroline was nominated in the same category in 2020 and earned semi-finalist nominations in 2018 and 2019. In 2018, Annette was a semi-finalist in the “Best New Restaurant” category.<\/p>\n
In 2019, Caroline was named one of the 10 Best New Chefs in America by \u7f8e\u98df\u8207\u7f8e\u9152<\/em> magazine. In 2017, Annette was named one of the 50 Best New Restaurants in the Country by \u795d\u60a8\u597d\u80c3\u53e3<\/em> magazine and was also Eater Denver<\/em>‘s Restaurant of the Year. Annette has been on 5280 Magazine<\/em>‘s list of Denver’s 25 Best Restaurants each year since it opened.<\/p>\n Caroline and her husband Nelson also own the oyster, cocktail and wine bar Traveling Mercies, which was a 2025 semi-finalist for the James Beard Foundation’s Best New Bar award and was named one of \u300a\u6642\u5c1a\u5148\u751f\u300b<\/em> Magazine’s Best Bars in America in 2024.<\/p>\n Caroline is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. After school, she worked for two years at the Spotted Pig in New York City, a pioneering gastropub run by famed British chef April Bloomfield. She became a sous chef under Bloomfield and Executive Chef Nate Smith (now a Brooklyn restaurateur in his own right) before leaving to work on farms in Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Colorado.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":8211,"template":"","class_list":["post-8210","chef","type-chef","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernsmoke.org\/zh_hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chef\/8210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernsmoke.org\/zh_hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chef"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernsmoke.org\/zh_hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chef"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southernsmoke.org\/zh_hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/southernsmoke.org\/zh_hk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
