Larry DiPasquale

Larry’s vision for hospitality has left a permanent mark on Denver’s history and landscape of special events. As chairman and CEO of Epicurean Family of Businesses for 38 years, his inspiration has forged new directions for Epicurean with broad concepts of restaurants, sports hospitality, theatre, fine arts, and enlightened hospitality.

After receiving his doctorate from Johnson and Wales University in Business Administration with Foodservice entrepreneurship, Larry’s career took off in a variety of well-established service and culinary roles. From operating over 20 Harrah’s restaurants, along with their showrooms, catering and bar facilities, Larry soon graduated from Harrah’s prestigious management and culinary training programs sponsored by the Culinary Institute of America.

While continuing to build his culinary empire, Larry and his wife Jill still find time to serve on multi-community and non-profit boards in their free time.
