You might think winning Top Chef could top a career, but seven years after his win, Hosea Rosenberg is having the time of his life — as our interview with the Blackbelly chef/owner makes clear. He's always keeping very, very busy as he expands the Blackbelly empire, experiments with cooking with cannabis, and wins over new fans. Including Jan, who writes:

I love the passion he brings to this business. It makes the food taste extra-good.

Adds Amber:

This article just made my day! Cannot wait to head over to Boulder now!

Responds Jay:

Forget Frasca. Hosea Rosenberg might be the only reason to drive to Boulder these days.
