When Matt Vawter, a Summit High School graduate, saw an opportunity to move back up to the mountains and take over a restaurant building in Breckenridge, he seized the moment. His new restaurant, Rootstalk, features fine dining menu options without feeling stuffy, Vawter said. Vawter was previously working as the executive chef at Mercantile Dining & Provision in Denver, where he met Patrick Murphy, now the general manager of Rootstalk. After working with Murphy for the past four years, Vawter said he’s always appreciated his knowledge and professionalism. And when Vawter he said he was headed for Summit County, Murphy jumped on board.
