Bobby Stuckey, co-founder of the Frasca Hospitality Group in Colorado, has been named one of the 50 most powerful people in fine dining by The Robb Report. Stuckey, a renowned restaurateur and master sommelier, moved up nine spots from his previous ranking in 2023 to number 31 on the prestigious list. He is the only Colorado-based person included and is recognized alongside culinary giants like Wolfgang Puck, Thomas Keller, and Jose Andres.
Stuckey and his partner Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson have been instrumental in shaping Colorado’s culinary scene since 2004, with successful ventures including the Michelin-starred Frasca Food and Wine, Pizzeria Alberico, Tavernetta, and Sunday Vinyl. They recently opened Osteria Alberico in Englewood and celebrated the 20th anniversary of Frasca with a star-studded event.
As a sommelier, Stuckey is known for his wine label Scarpetta Wine and will be opening a Tavernetta outpost at the Four Seasons Vail this winter. A statement from Frasca expressed Stuckey’s gratitude for being recognized among esteemed chefs and operators from across the country, many of whom have participated in the group’s guest chef series.
