In the Aurora Arts District, what’s billed as the country’s only chocolate art, whose name fans of Netflix’s should recognize. His appearance on the competition show launched Chef Gonzo (as Jimenez is known) into celebrity status, showcasing his whimsical creations and technical skills to a wide audience of chocolate lovers.
