Chef transplants are bringing new flavor to suburbs and smaller cities and towns

A growing number of star chefs are moving from America's largest cities to suburbs and smaller cities and towns. Find out why and what they're discovering and creating in their new locations.

Denver (CNN) — Each Sunday morning, right at 10 a.m., Carolyn Nugent and Alen Ramos sit in their townhouse and watch their phones light up with email after email from strangers eager to get their hands on their much-talked about apple fritters, Berliner donuts and rye bagels. "It went from taking us a week to sell out or still have a couple things, to selling out in 25 minutes," says Ramos. The secret is out: the married couple's Ulster Street Pastry pop-up bakery is serving up some of Colorado's best baked goods right out of their front door in Denver. The baked goods have become so popular that the couple, whose high-profile culinary jobs in Chicago came to a standstill with the pandemic, are soon opening a bakeshop in the Denver suburb of Parker, Colorado.
