Been a busy two weeks, so let me catch you up on some of my wanderings.
Enjoyed a wonderful, sold out Inauguration Party January 20th at the Viewhouse Centennial for President Donald J. Trump. Happy people, lots of photos, food food.
Took a wonderful day trip to Hudson, Colorado. Enjoyed a fabulous, HUGE plate of Dave’s Biscuits & Gravy at the Pepper Pod. Been around since 1913. Owned and operated since 1977 by Dave and Beth Martin with their Hyde Park culinary school graduate daughter, Amy Jackson, heading up the kitchen. Breakfast, lunch, dinner 6 days a week (closed Tuesday). Next visit I plan to enjoy the Junk Burger (their name for it) or the pork chops.
Also in Hudson, a listener suggested I get a pizza from Ben’s. Very enjoyable. Different types of pepperoni to choose from. I got the “baby” pepperonis, Usually hard to find.
Headed up to Masonville to visit the old mercantile store. Being renovated with hopes to open sometime early Spring. Nice drive. Finished by relaxing at Horsetooth Reservoir.
Local owner of eight IHOP restaurants invited me by to meet, chat, possibly work together on a Saturday night Meal Deal. Check the website calendar to see if, when, we get it scheduled. Also, they have convinced me that their pancakes really are THAT good.
Reading – I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. Had him on the air with his more recent book, Year of the Locust. Loved it, loving I Am Pilgrim. Both long, but worth it.
Finally got by Hammond’s Deli in Old Colorado City. Great pastrami sandwich, their signature sandwich. Big, thick, lots of meat. Not inexpensive, but very good.
Mid afternoon, HEALTHY snack – Yeah, I like some junk food pick me up middle afternoon, but a friend turned me on to healthy RXBars. Variety of flavors, about six different offerings. Maybe three egg whites, cashews or peanuts, maybe dates, more, all blended together in a bar. Found at Natural Grocers in the energy bar section. About $2.69 each.
Please check out the Overtime podcast on my website Home Page. Spent an hour with Steve Shaw, owner of the Black-eyed Pea Restaurants, discussing how to own a restaurant. Not a lecture, just a couple of guys talking about how to get started. Hope you enjoy!
