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…
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…
Molto Delizioso!
Interestingly enough, I was up in Evergreen, CO, a few weeks ago and was in desperate need of some new reading material. I walked around the cabin I was staying in and glanced down at a somewhat concealed bookshelf next to the bed. I reached down and grabbed this book; dusted it off and…
I like my eggs…Over Easy!
Ever since I was a girl, breakfast has been my thing. For me, there’s nothing like waking up to a streaming plate of pancakes with bacon and eggs. Or a breakfast burrito loaded down with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, and sausage. In our family, a hot breakfast signaled the beginning of a great weekend! As we began…
Phantom Canyon Foodies
Written by Mandra Six years ago, I moved from Dallas to Colorado Springs and our first stop was Phantom Canyon Brewery. Why? Well, it had wonderful reviews and I was looking for an IPA (India Pale Ale) to celebrate just signing a new lease with my husband. And I was not disappointed! Our visits became a weekly occurrence. It was…
A Merry Gold Time at Marigold’s
Walking into a packed Marigold Cafe, we were immediately greeted by the sight of amazing pastries. It’s definitely worth the drive there for the dessert alone! As it was a Friday night, we weren’t the only ones who decided Marigold Cafe was the place to be, so naturally it was packed. Although it was crowded,…
