Kimbal Musk and Hugo Matheson's growing brand, Next Door American Eatery, is also making Front Range inroads. The brand is opening its first Fort Collins restaurant at 100 North College Avenue in June (converting one of Musk and Matheson's other restaurants, the Kitchen), and will join Snooze at Orchard Park in Westminster in July, building the total to eight Next Doors.
