The 2025 EATSS event will feature plates from four chefs who showcase Native foods through an "ingredient driven" approach, said Ben Jacobs, co-founder of Tocabe, an American Indian eatery. "Flavorwise, it's very approachable, but still unique," Jacobs said. (Photo courtesy of the American Indian College Fund)

An American Indian eatery in Denver that combines Osage family recipes with contemporary cuisine. The restaurant’s philosophy for sourcing ingredients is to go “native first, local second,” bringing in rice from the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, beans from a farm on the Gila River Reservation and bison from Rock River Ranches here in Colorado. In 2020, the restaurant’s founders launched Tocabe Indigenous Marketplace, connecting Native producers directly with customers. Stop by to try the Indian taco, your choice of proteins and toppings stacked open face on a piece of frybread, or the Posu bean and rice bowl topped with Osage hominy sauce.
