ChefReady offers fresh opportunities for veteran restaurateurs

 A colorful mural helps the Chef Ready ghost kitchen stand out from its neighbors on a busy Denver street. The building’s interior is a maze of doors and kitchen equipment, where expert chefs like Keven Kinaschuk are crafting a wide range of global cuisine.

“It’s eclectic. It’s fresh,” Kinaschuk said of his restaurant, McKinners Pizza.

McKinners’ first brick-and-mortar location opened in a Denver suburb in the early 2000s. The menu ranges from pierogies to deep-dish pizza.

The original location remains open today, but the business changed dramatically at the height of the pandemic.
