The Oldest, Most Honest
Cooking Technique.

Two evenings set against the Colorado mountain landscape. Every chef, every dish, every pour — shaped by live flame. Global Breck is not a trend. It is a return to the elemental — smoke, char, and intention, across the world's culinary traditions.

Coals Are the Philosophy.
Global Is the Community.

Global Breck is a love letter to our planet and the rich traditions of cooking over coals. Ancient techniques. Cultural reverence. The elemental constraint that every culinary tradition on earth shares — and the extraordinary diversity of what cooks do within it.

Coals are the philosophy. Food is the community. Every chef, every dish, every pour must engage the coals — but what they do within that constraint is entirely theirs. Japanese, Mexican, Argentine, West African, American — one element, infinite expressions, one table.

After four successful years building Global in other Colorado high-country markets, we're proud to bring it to Breckenridge for the first time — a new, purpose-built partnership with one of Colorado's most storied mountain towns, for two landmark evenings in October 2026, and built to be here for the long term.

October 10, 2026 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM Across Town
Hosted by Local Breckenridge Businesses

The morning belongs to the town. Five themes — fat tire, gravel, road, a chef-led in-town hike, and a destination hike — each hosted by a local brewery, restaurant, distillery, or guide out of their own space. Hosts set their own price, sell their own tickets, and keep every dollar. Twenty-five percent goes to Matt Vawter's Bikes for Kids and PeopleForBikes. Move, gather, eat, reset — then Ridge Street at 4:00 PM.

Ridge

October 10, 2026 Ridge Street 240 Guests + Free Concert
The Stars of Colorado Align

Ridge Street closes. A free street concert opens to all of Breckenridge — DJ Lord of Public Enemy & Cypress Hill, Cut Chemist, and Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 on stage. Inside, 240 guests sit at a single long communal table for a four-course family-style dinner: Westholme Wagyu tomahawks and Colorado's finest chefs work in collaboration, all over glowing coals.

Stars of Colorado.

Three James Beard Best Chef: Mountain winners. Four Michelin-starred kitchens. One weekend, cooking together over coals — a lineup that has never assembled in one place before.

Chef Matt Vawter
James Beard · Best Chef Mountain 2024

Matt Vawter

Rootstalk · Radicato · Threefold — Breckenridge

A Summit County native and the culinary voice of this town. Culinary Director for the weekend — he sets the sequence and leads the line.

Chef Penelope Wong
James Beard · Best Chef Mountain 2026

Penelope Wong

Yuan Wonton — Park Hill, Denver

Won this June — the first Asian woman from Colorado to take the award. Chinese and Thai flavors that began in a food truck and became one of the country's best new restaurants.

Chef Caroline Glover
James Beard · Best Chef Mountain 2022

Caroline Glover

Annette · Traveling Mercies — Aurora

Aurora's first James Beard winner. Annette is built on wood-fired American cooking — this is her element. Traveling Mercies made Esquire's Best Bars in America.

Chef Kelly Whitaker
Two Michelin Stars · Colorado's First

Kelly Whitaker

The Wolf's Tailor · Brutø · Dry Storage — Denver & Boulder

The most decorated restaurateur in the state. The Wolf's Tailor became Colorado's first two-star restaurant; Brutø holds a star and a Green Star for sustainability.

Chef Johnny Curiel
One Michelin Star

Johnny Curiel

Alma Fonda Fina — Denver

Guadalajara-born, raised in a family of chefs. Contemporary Mexican cooking built on masa nixtamalized and ground in house daily.

Chef Justin Fulton
One Michelin Star

Justin Fulton

Margot — Denver

An eight-seat counter and a twelve-course tasting menu built on Colorado's seasons. Trained at Daniel in New York — and grew up snowboarding in Summit County.

Chef Lord Maynard Llera
James Beard · Best Chef California 2024

Lord Maynard Llera

Kuya Lord — East Hollywood, Los Angeles

Filipino-born, Lucena City–raised. Inihaw — the live-coal grilling tradition of the Philippines — is not a technique he adopted for this. It is how he was taught to cook.

Chef Jason Harrison
25 Years · Four Seasons · Ritz-Carlton

Jason Harrison

Red Maple Catering — Vail

A luxury-hospitality pedigree across four of the most demanding houses in the business, and the person who makes cooking at this scale on a mountainside possible.

Chef Duncan Holmes
Michelin Star · James Beard Semifinalist

Duncan Holmes

Beckon and Major Tom — Denver

Eighteen seats at a counter, and a tasting menu that earned Beckon a Michelin star in 2023. Next door, Major Tom runs the same farm-first, hyper-seasonal cooking without the ceremony.

Chef Alex Seidel
James Beard · Best Chef Southwest 2018

Alex Seidel

Mercantile · Chook · Füdmill — Denver

He opened Fruition in 2007, then built a farm in Larkspur to supply it — sheep’s-milk cheese and seasonal produce, the long way round. Farm-to-table before Denver had a name for it.

Thirty-Nine Years,
One Turntable Apart.

Ridge Street closes and the headliners take the stage. This is not two solo artists sharing a bill — it is one performance, built from a friendship that started in 1987.

The Headliners

Chali 2na
& Cut Chemist.

They met in 1987, a couple of years after Chali moved from Chicago to Los Angeles, and formed their first group — UNITY Committee. They have been inseparable since.

In 1994 they joined forces with the local rap group Rebels Of Rhythm to form Jurassic 5. With J5 in full swing, both were also founding members of the Latin fusion group Ozomatli in 1995 — two landmark bands, at the same time.

For the last three years they have performed a special collaborative set that tells the story of their lives in music together. The catalogue is as endless as the time they have spent creating it.

Chali 2na

The unmistakable baritone of Jurassic 5. Beyond the group, he has explored his range with Roots Manuva, Lyrics Born, Slightly Stoopid and Galactic, among many others.

Turntables

Cut Chemist

A DJ's DJ, with remixes and features for DJ Shadow, Less Than Jake and Blackalicious — a body of work that runs well past the two groups that made his name.

Friday & Saturday

DJ Lord.

Atlanta, Georgia

An Atlanta-based DJ and turntablist, best known as the longtime touring DJ for Public Enemy and Cypress Hill, as well as a former member of the supergroup Prophets of Rage.

He is the common thread between both evenings — the one artist on both stages, Friday at the mine and Saturday on Ridge Street.

Friday · October 9

Global at the Mine

4:00 to 6:30 PM — DJ Lord takes the turntables through sunset.

Saturday · October 10

Before the Set

Brady Lowe warms the room.

Global's founder runs the opening playlist while the coals come up to heat, before Lord takes over.

Brady and Lord have been friends since 2005. During COVID they ran Cafe Quarantine, a nightly live-streamed session from Lowe's restaurant The Pantry in Atlanta that became one of the most-watched of its kind on the internet, reaching an audience of roughly 1M through the pandemic.

A thirty-nine-year friendship that keeps manifesting into music and art — and on October 10, into a free street concert open to all of Breckenridge.

New to Breckenridge.
Years in the Making.

Global Breck is a brand-new event for this town in 2026 — built on a live-coal culinary format that's already become a U.S. leader and a champion for sustainable agriculture. Not just about the food, but the how and the why.
