Food halls/markets are a familiar sight in metro Denver these days, with the Source, Avanti Food & Beverage, Denver Central Market, and Stanley Marketplace all opening over the past few years; Zeppelin Station is also set to enter the scene in December. But when Denver Milk Market debuts in LoDo’s Dairy Block development next summer, it will feature one major difference: Every food concept in the approximately 15,000-square-foot venue will be the brainchild of one chef: Frank Bonanno.

“It’s kind of the way dining is going,” he says of the market trend. “It’s a fun way for people to go out; there’s something for everybody.” That’s certainly the plan at Milk Market, which was inspired, in large part, by Eataly, New York City’s famed Italian marketplace. Bonanno, the chef-owner behind 10 Denver restaurants (including Mizuna, Bones, Salt & Grinder, and the new French 75), and his company, Bonanno Concepts, are planning 14 restaurants and bars for the first-floor space.
