Zeal was born out of a vision—a desire to make healthy, flavorful dining accessible and inviting. Wayde Jester, our founder and Chief Enthusiast, has poured his heart and soul into creating a space that represents his values. Through ups and downs, including the challenges of the pandemic, Wayde has remained steadfast in his commitment to bringing the Boulder community a dining experience that combines passion, health, and sustainability.
For Wayde, food isn't just nourishment—it's a story. It's about where the ingredients come from, how they're prepared, and the joy they bring to those who share them. His philosophy is simple: great food should be good for you, good for the planet, and, above all, delicious.
Zeal is more than just a restaurant—it's a gathering place. We're proud to be a part of the Boulder community and strive to create connections through food. From hosting events to supporting local causes, we're always looking for ways to give back and make a positive impact.
