When you typically start the week, Wednesday isn’t really a highlight nor does any good story begin with, “Last Wednesday, things got lit!” or “I can’t wait for Wednesday, because I can really throw it back!”. However, last Wednesday was pretty bumpin’ with Wu-Tang Wednesday at Dos Santos. The former Southside Johnny’s location has really…

Nordic Nibbles
Nordic traditions are not on my radar nor am I even familiar with any eats or recipes. But, smørrebrød sandwiches (Danish, for bread & butter) popped up in my quest to learn more about a new Scandanavian restaurant opening, with bright salmon, pickled herring, and cured meats. What is special about this adventure is that…
Sweet & Savory Decisions
This hidden gem came on the radar months ago on Instagram. Interestingly enough, I am not a huge sweets fan in the slightest. I typically eat so much beforehand that the top button of my jeans is undone, and dessert seems exhausting. But when I came across the word SAVORY on the menu, I piped…
A StreetEats Quest to Piglatin Cocina
When Guy Fieri tore through town in his red Chevy Camaro on Season 24 of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, I wasn’t sure where he would end up. It was all very mysterious, and yet how did we question it? Piglatin had been a staple food truck downtown for some time. When the episode premiered, it…
Ahoy Cap’tain at Bonny & Read
Many people will roll their eyes at you in Colorado when you say you can’t find decent seafood. Often, I hear, “Seriously, we’re in a land-locked state, go to Seattle if you want good sea bass!” I get it, folks, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t intrigued when I read about the opening of Bonny…
A Trip Down The Rabbit Hole
Unbeknownst to me when I set up my visit to The Rabbit Hole that I was venturing down the stairs to what used to be the city morgue. I was mid-gulp of my Rosé when this revelation was revealed, and yes, the hairs on my neck stood up. Our table of eleven nervous brave patrons…
Eat with the Kings | NaRai Siam Cuisine
I don’t typically head to a restaurant to satisfy my desire for Thai food. My Friday night consists of pajamas, Parks and Recreation on Netflix, and a delivery of Pad Thai around 9:30pm. I’m serious. Well, folks, things are a-changin’ in 2017. I selected a sensible outfit for my trip off the couch, and headed…
Wrangled up at Cowboy Star
For several months, I have had Cowboy Star on my culinary radar, browsing their menu weekly with the anticipation of a young child on their way to Disney World. I reviewed the dinner menu and felt that it was a bit pricey for my very small dainty wallet. However, the lunch menu had some of…
Visiting La Cava
It’s been several weeks since I experienced this very upscale and unique setting – but it is still very fresh in my mind. This southwest Colorado Springs restaurant is situated on 8th street in a maze of office buildings. At night, it was a little difficult to find, but once I walked up it was…
Luck It’s Food Art
It has taken me a couple of weeks to articulate this experience upon seeing a childhood food favorite, Pork Rinds(Skins), on the menu. This sent me into a culinary tailspin! Brother Luck Street Eats is by first glance a quaint, bustling restaurant on the edge of the historic Old Colorado neighborhood. But, as you walk…
