Born in El Paso, Texas and raised in Denver, Michael Diaz de Leon’s world revolved around great, home-cooked Mexican food. After cooking in El Paso and time spent at world-famous Pujol in Mexico City, Diaz de Leon moved to Denver. Under the name Pinchi Umami, he hosted weekly taco omakase pop-ups in the intimate, open-fire-driven concept, BRUTØ. He was then tapped chef de cuisine with full reign of the 16-seat chef’s counter. Diaz de Leon’s tasting menu highlights the terroir of hyper-regional corn varietals and the various microclimates found within Mexico, Central America, and Colorado.
