The Sausage Underground - Reprise - 2015

I don't really consider the New Year to have begun until the invite is made for me to join the Sons of Sopressata for the annual meeting of The Sausage Underground. Steeped in tradition, fueled by male discourse and booze this is one event I rarely pass on. This year #800 lbs of sublime Sopressata was made…hopefully it lasts until next year.

My wife either has exquisite taste as it regards my choice for odd reading materials or she has something in mind. Either way, I win. A new book arrived for my Bday.

El Toro - Denver - First Rate Fried Tacos

Taco shops are dime a dozen in Denver but my search is over for the finest taco. El Toro on North , Colorado Blvd takes the vuelta. The building, nondescript if not gnarly. The atmosphere, quintessential down to the stained menus. The art, a myriad of chintzy sorts including a nice collection of black velvet, bullfight scenes. The taco, nonpareil. I really don't need to go anywhere else in this town for a taco. 

Thanks Jimmy Weeks
