I can’t say this really upsets me too much. Personally, I like Wild Oats more, and I’m afraid that the merger with Whole Foods would make them suck. FTC Objects to Whole Foods-Wild Oats Merger (Kroger Co. (KR), Wild Oats Markets Inc. (OATS), Safeway Inc. (SWY), Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI), Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

the most modifiers of any soft drink name
I am currently drinking a “Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.” That’s a Dr. Pepper with 3 modifiers: diet, cherry, and vanilla. I’ve never heard of a soft drink with 3 modifiers until now. Can you think of one with 4?
Brothers BBQ
News flash: Brothers BBQ has just surpassed KT’s for the title of Todd’s Favorite Barbecue Restaurant.

I told her these were much better hot dogs than what she associates with the term “hot dog”. She ordered the California Dog and… Continue reading hot dogs
much better experience at O’s
I talked to the general manager of O’s Steak and Seafood about our bad experience a few weeks ago. He apologized, explained that the staff was unusually “overmatched” by the number of customers that night, and invited Beth and me back to try again at his expense. So, last Friday, we took him up on… Continue reading much better experience at O’s

Wildfire Restaurant in Idaho Springs – thumbs up
Next time you’re passing through Idaho Springs on I-70, consider stopping at Wildfire Restaurant. Beth and I had lunch there on our way to Redstone for Christmas and we were both pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The restaurant was very uncrowded, and I’m not sure why. But the food was excellent. I had… Continue reading Wildfire Restaurant in Idaho Springs – thumbs up
westword.com – Restaurants – Sum More, Please
westword.com – Restaurants – Sum More, Please Beth and I tried Super Star Asian at 2200 West Alameda last night. The Westword restaurant critic gave it very high praise, but I just wasn’t impressed. It was almost – though not quite – one of those experiences that’s so bad as to be laughable. For the… Continue reading westword.com – Restaurants – Sum More, Please
