Michael Diaz de Leon is a first-generation Mexican-American born on the border of México and the United States in the culturally rich city of El Paso, Texas. He has spent most of his life in the duality that exists in being raised in a border town and has always had an affinity for connection and community through food. Formerly of Bruto in downtown Denver, a three-year devotion to an omakase tasting menu locally and regionally sourced with little to no waste, Michael is now currently embarking on a journey of exploration and collaboration. A new pop-up diner experience will share space at the table through food and wine. His new restaurant is slated to open in 2025.

Chef was awarded the San Pellegrino Starchefs Game Changer Award in 2022, followed by becoming a finalist for the James Beard Foundation nomination for Best Chef Mountain Region and the first Mexican chef in Colorado to be awarded the Michelin Guide’s Green Star for Sustainability and 1 Star for his work at BRUTØ in 2023.

Sultanes del Yonke aka “El Ultrasonido Fronterizo” are breaking headlines as the border’s freshest Latin sound. Translated to “Sultans of the Junkyard,” the band currently reigns on the U.S./Mexico border in El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. Fronted By the mysterious “El Felino Aguilar,” Sultanes have made it their life’s mission to make the sound of the Mexican junkyard known worldwide.
