Denver restaurateur Kelly Whitaker is getting back to his roots. The Oklahoma native announced this week that he has purchased Nonesuch, a 22-seat chef’s counter restaurant in Oklahoma City. Bon Appétit named the fine-dining spot the No. 1 best new restaurant in America in 2018. “If this restaurant were in New York or anywhere else, it would hold up on its own,” Whitaker said. Whitaker founded Denver-based Id Est Hospitality Group, which owns Michelin-starred BRUTØ and The Wolf’s Tailor among other concepts.
