Edible Aspen talks to the team behind Carbondale’s newest restaurant and event space

Together with managing partner/Carbondale native/Denver restaurateur Kade Gianinetti (The Way Back, American Grind), the trio opened The Way Home in the former Six89 location in September 2018. Here Edible Aspen talks to the team about how the new venture honors our foodshed, our community and their shared passion for Carbondale. —LM
