Something new has come to The Restaurant Show. Listeners and other followers often ask me where I’ve been, what I’ve done throughout the week. They know about the shows on the weekends, many join us at the various restaurants offering Meal Deals, some are in the Book Club, and a few even travel with us to exotic places.
But in an effort to share more of my wanderings, Out and About has been created. It will be timely, updated on a regular basis. It will be different from the website home page, the website calendar. It will be different from the Platter Chatter list of upcoming events distributed at restaurant appearances. It may be updated weekly, maybe every few days, or even maybe daily if the need arises, and the news worth sharing. So, a few examples…
This Week;
Breakfast at The South at South Huron in Englewood. Met show webmaster Ed Wilkes for lunch. Got there a little early, 10:30ish, and found out they are open and serving breakfast daily until noon. Score! I had the breakfast quesadilla, Ed had the breakfast tacos. Both delicious, and as always, The South gives big portions and great value. Monday through Friday ask for Michelle, day bartender and manager. Been there 25 years. You’ll love her.
A Snow Day – Went to Granelli’s Pizza in Castle Rock for a great, Chicago style pepperoni, sausage, and jalapeno pizza. Dine in is nice, especially since they have a liquor license.
What am I reading? Just finished Framed by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey. Stories of wrongfully convicted individuals, and the Innocence Project’s efforts to gain them freedom’
Another – Just read Blood and the Badge by Michael Cannell about two rogue NYPD cops. Interview coming up with Michael shortly.
2025, The Year of the Caller – Contacted a number of restaurants and asked for gift certificates to give away to on air callers. Everyone said “yes.” Will be taking a lot of on air calls in both Colorado Springs (studio line 719-388-0391) and Denver (303-696-1971).
Dairy Queen – Two double patty burgers for $7 is one of the best deals in fast food segment.
Mentioned show webmaster earlier. He’s Ed Wilkes (ed@gearsetmedia.com). Does a fabulous job, easy to reach, share ideas with, marketing oriented, and reasonably priced. He can help!
