We are so grateful to the hardworking people who made delicious food for us. We wish them all the best in this difficult industry.
Blade & Bone recently opened in the former WW Pepper location at 753 Horizon Court. I ate there the other day and they were jumping up and down! The friend I was with ordered the chimichurri chicken, ribeye and salmon dishes and was delighted. My favorite dish was the delicious mushroom soup topped with puff pastry.
A new wok restaurant called Taste of Chang'An is scheduled to open in June at the former Village Inn location at 757 Horizon Dr. I think it's interesting that he has two hotpot restaurants opening in town. I'm sure it will be a hit, so please give it a try.
JoJo's Dinette is now open at 225 N. 5th St. This will be James Beard-nominated chef Josh Niernberg and his team's third restaurant downtown. The food is creative and delicious, and the burger with Gruyère cheese fondue is a sure crowd-pleaser. We're also looking forward to the latest recreation of Bin 707 at 400 Main St. It will be amazing.
JJang Korea BBQ is scheduled to open in September at the former Chuck E. Cheese location in Mesa Mall at 2424 US Highway 6 & 50. Korean BBQ is so delicious, so I'm really looking forward to it.
Showstoppers Pizza & Bakery will hold a ribbon-cutting grand opening event at its new location in the Mesa Mall food court on Tuesday, May 14th at noon. Check it out and celebrate with them.
Sweet Coloradough is expected to open in June or July in the former site of Daylight Donuts at 1410 North Avenue. This Western Slope donut, sandwich and drinks joint looks interesting and already has fans excited.
The two Blondes Beverage Bar food trucks can often be seen in and around the Palisade, 117 Main Street. According to the owner, this food truck is 100% gluten-free. We have donuts, cookies, protein smoothies, and other drinks.
Today is an important anti-hunger event taking place across the country. This annual food drive supports various local food charities. If you place a bag of nonperishable food next to your mailbox, a delivery person will come and pick it up. What an easy and important way to help others in our community!
Mother's Day is on Sunday, so if you plan to eat out, please make a reservation. You also have the option of cooking something delicious for your loved one or taking something home in a food truck. And although for many this day is a beautiful and honorable holiday, for those who have lost their mothers, those who suffer from infertility, or those who have a difficult relationship with their mothers, it is a time of great sadness. Don't forget that there is also. Be sure to reach out to those around you (including yourself) and give them a special hug.
Summer is just around the corner and it's great to see all the gourmet activities and celebrations. I wish you great food and fun adventures.
