Behind the scenes, with a backstage pass to love on the restaurants, this team supports Edible Beats in all the ways from deep connection, to creative thought, and collaborative energy.
In our world, real food : real flavor as tried love : true love.
And we have a lot of love to share.
For guests. For food. For community.
And, last but not least, for big Mama Earth.
Since opening our first restaurant in 2008,
Edible Beats has grown into a family of five restaurants—
Linger, Vital Root, El Five & the two R’s, Root Down and Root Down DIA.

SUSTAINABILITY
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
OUR DUE DILIGENCE
We’re 100% wind-powered and have responsibly-sourced, vegetable-forward menus. All animal proteins are certified humane, pasture-raised and utilize non-GMO, vegetarian feed. All seafood is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council and is a “Best Choice Green” by the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch. We also maintain a 6,000 sf organic garden that supplies 20% of the seasonal herbs and vegetables for our restaurants. That’s what we bring to the table.
EDIBLE BEATS ISN'T
ABOUT BUZZWARDS
WE WALK THE TALK!
OUR FRIENDS
TO NAME A FEW
Things get real when we start talking about our friends. Over 50% of our ingredients are sourced locally (within Colorado) and our network of responsible food sourcing supports over 55 local ranchers, farmers, growers & food artisans. To name a few:
CALLICRATE BEEF
Has a pasture-to-plate protocol we get behind. The philosophy raises stress-free animals, avoids sub-therapeutic antibiotics and growth agents, and cares for local agriculture and community.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN
MICRO RANCH
Provides healthy protein sources that require less land, water, feed and energy than traditional sources because bugs are the future of food.
THE BUTTERFLY PAVILION
Maintains a beehive in our downtown, EB garden. We’re doing our part to give bees a chance. Local, clean, raw honey is an added bonus.
