Dining Guide

“Food is life.” So says Chef Alex Kim (pictured left) of Fusion, a catering and design firm that’s green and getting greener.
Celebrating 14 years in the catering business, Alex and his wife, Laura, have literally bought the farm. In January, they moved into their new Fusion-designed Missouri Heights home with 50 acres of agricultural land and call themselves Dragonfly Ranch. Panoramic views of Mount Sopris and the Elk Mountain Range provide quality of life and inspiration. Since 2001, before completing their home and business, they have been producing certified weed-free horse and cow hay. Their future plans include a greenhouse to grow organic foods for their catered events. “always supporting other local farmers, we, too, want to be one of those local growers,” Laura Kim says. Taking further green steps, their beautiful, energy-efficient commercial kitchen allows them to integrate a live-work philosophy that eliminates commuting consumption, which allows for more family time. Their seven-year-old son, Tai (pictured right), loves to help in the kitchen, loves to eat and refers to himself as “sous chef.” When they are not cooking up a storm, they design and build everything from custom, site-specific furniture, hot rods to their very own contemporary “green” home.
Alex and Laura bring to the table a combined forty years of professional experience and numerous awards. Cooking, for the Kims, is art, and they put as much effort into designing custom menus with home-grown herbs and edible flowers as they do in planning every detail of their catered events. “Fusion” best describes their style of cooking, a harmonious blend of colors, textures, tastes and aromas, with techniques and ingredients from around the world. Catering for all occasions small and large at your home or event site serving the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond.
