Why Lickskillet?

John Lawyer was raised in a military family who moved a lot. Because of this, he became diverse in different types of food and found a love for cooking and the creation of unique flavors that capture smells and trigger a memory. As his own family grew, John left his Asian fusion restaurant in Illinois and moved back to Colorado to start something new and be closer to family. Having grown up a little in Colorado, John was familiar with the cycling world and would enjoy long rides along the front range which lead to the discovery of Lickskillet Road.

Lickskillet Road just may be the steepest dirt road in all of Boulder county -- with its one mile, 754ft climb, and 18.2% grade at its steepest part. Destined to be a restaurant name, John salvaged the abandoned road sign that was tossed across the creek while cycling up to the town of Ward. His future food business was born, Lickskillet. Making a name is the first step in creating personalized catering for you and all your guests.

With Lickskillet Catering based out of Fort Collins, Colorado, we serve the greater northern Colorado area. We look forward to working your next event!

But wait, there’s more!

John’s been busy building and growing business. His goal and focus is to build companies that diversify in other areas that not only benefit the company but also focus on our key employees.
