Bill Taibe is about to be an empty-nester and when thinking about where he’d like to spend the second half of his life, Denver tops the list. The 46-year-old chef is getting ready to expand his restaurant chain to Denver from Westport, Connecticut. Next year, Taibe and his business partner Massimo Tullio are opening Kawa Ni, a Japanese pub, in the fall of 2023 in a former fire station at the intersection of west 32nd Avenue and Erie Street in LoHi.
