Nick Wrona is no stranger to the spatula. He grills cheesesteaks out of a truck these days, but he was the original executive chef at the Berkshire in Stapleton, then experimented with a crepe cart before settling on cheesesteaks six months ago. “I like this. I want to stick with this,” he says.

He also has his eye on a space on Colfax where he could set up permanently. “I just need to sell a lot of cheesesteaks to get it,” he says.
