Mark Antonation

Food Editor Mark Antonation moved to Colorado the same year as John Elway (1983, in case your memory doesn’t go back that far) after living in Los Angeles, Malta, Libya, London, and Dallas—all before he was eight years old. Since then it’s been all Centennial State, with nine years in Fort Collins and the rest in metro Denver. Mark worked in restaurants through college before beginning a career in writing. Most recently, he supported communications and restaurant workforce development at the Colorado Restaurant Association & Foundation, and before that he was food editor at Westword. In his spare time, he hangs out with his wife and dog, and is especially fond of creating piles of dishes while taking on home cooking projects.
