Kristian DePue

Originally from rural Indiana, Kristian DePue is a freelance writer and regular contributor to Springs magazine and other publications of the Colorado Front Range. If asked for dining or drinking suggestions around the base of America’s Mountain, he hates to pick favorites. However, he is fond of the donburi served at the cyberpunk-inspired Chiba Bar, the spicy Brazilian coconut shrimp soup at Shuga’s, and everything behind the bar at Shame & Regret.
