While working towards a degree in Industrial Design armed with an industry knowledge unmatched in Colorado, Chef Josh Niernberg had an idea to combine art, business and engineering to create a restaurant unlike any other. The result was Bin 707 Foodbar — a think tank for food as applied to industrial design where Josh drives the development, prototyping, production and marketing of the menu. A certified Sommelier and fifth-generation Colorado native, he exclusively sources local, Colorado and domestic ingredients while boasting the most unique wine, beer, and spirits list in the state. Josh, along with his wife and business partner, Jodi, will continue to push the boundaries of Colorado’s food scene.

Chef Josh Niernberg is one of my favorite people, ever. Josh began his culinary career cooking in his native city of Denver. After spending 20+ years working in all aspects of both front and back of house throughout Colorado, he and wife Jodi created Bin 707 Foodbar in her hometown of Grand Junction, Colorado. Designed to showcase Western Colorado as a culinary region by focusing on local Ranching, Agriculture, Distilling, & Winemaking. Bin 707 Foodbar was intended to be an economic driver for the community and was quickly successful in its mission. In 2015 the couple added a Food Truck to host offsite events and help further drive the culinary culture of the region. Through exploring the cuisines and ingredients available locally, Josh saw the need to expand the regional cuisine ideas into new concepts. In 2016 The couple opened Tacoparty and Dinnerparty Grand Junction.
