Dana Rodriguez’s next restaurant will be within shouting distance of the farm the food comes from.

“I’m going to be cooking in the kitchen screaming at George upstairs in the greenhouse: ‘I need more lettuce!’” the chef said.

The executive chef at Casa Bonita and owner of Denver dining spots Carne is planning to open the second location of her RiNo restaurant Work & Class in George Gastis’ urban farm and eatery building at 900 E. Hampden Ave. in Englewood.

Work & Class will replace The Feedery , a breakfast and lunch spot open five days a week, and the adjacent market, where people could purchase coffee and wine while perusing the produce Gastis grows on-site. Both spaces combined are about 3,500 square feet. Existing employees will have the opportunity to work at the new venture.
