Neighbors of the new outdoor amphitheater in Colorado Springs are sounding off about noise complaints. This one notes the venue’s developer is an owner of the bi-weekly Indy in town. It’s important to also note (she doesn’t) that the daily Gazette’s owner is the ticketing vendor

Thank you for sharing Matthew! I’m really grateful for Robert giving such thorough and thoughtful answers. He’s on point and direct. Restaurateurs will be wise to take note. 🧐
Terrific interview by @MatthewSchniper with @RobertIrvine wherein Robert challenges the notion that chain restaurants are inherently crappy. Having seen the man take down a rack or two of Chili’s ribs, I know he’s not averse to them, but still, it’s a great, thoughtful answer.

Mission possible , by @MatthewSchniper open.substack.com/pub/sidedi… An interview with Food Network’s Chef Robert Irvine. “I would say you have to know exactly who you’re serving, what they want, what they’re used to — and express your vision on those terms.”

In this war of attrition, like in the U.S., Dutch farmers are split - those willing to compromise and those who are done. youtube.com/watch?v=pqHQN54X…

It’s no easy decision, but we finally settle on the bright green pistachio paleta and Oreo pop because we’re suckers for that whole Oreo cookie suspended in the cream like Han Solo in carbonite. (But less tortured looking.) sidedishschnip.substack.com/…
