| Here's some food trivia for you. I just ate a bowl of Cheerios for dinner because it is WAY too hot to eat anything warm, or even to stand around in the kitchen long enough to make a sandwich.
But you clicked on this post seeking answers, so here they are.
Tjlord knew that Rocky Ford is the Melon Capital of the World.
Bco Gal knew one of the SquareStaters that has a restaurant, Greenchiledem. That's Fiesta's New Mexican Cafe & Cantina in Edwards (Eagle County). She also had the location right for the other place, plus she knew that of the foods listed in #2, it is cheese that has no festival of its own.
ELuning knew the Colorado Beetle preys on potato crops, and also that we kan haz cheesburger because Louis Ballast of Denver invented and trademarked them in 1936. AND also that the other Square State restauranteur is Wanda James.
(That would be the 8 Rivers Restaurant. I believe they are opening a second one soon, in LoDo, but I couldn't find anything current about it.)
ELuning then posed TWO new bonus questions"
6.a. Sam Arnold's The Fort in Morrison revived Mountain Man cuisine for the masses. What is the special ingredient Arnold would serve with Old Crow Whiskey?
b. Arnold used to keep a tame bear in the courtyard. He would amuse -- and startle -- guests by feeding the bear what food item. Bonus bonus: How would he feed it to the bear?
Ralphie posted this bonus question: "What Colorado Buffalo wrote the intelligence report on JFK's heroics in the aftermath of the crash of PT-109?"
ELuning knew it was Byron "Whizzer" White.
That's it. I'm going to go water my few pitiful remaining tomato plants now. |
