Community Table from Big Red F

In a special episode, DQ sits down with Colorado Senator and founder of Wynkoop Brewing Company John Hickenlooper and The Post brewmaster Nick Tedeschi to talk all things beer, hospitality, and Colorado.

Mackenzie Sehlke, executive director of Boulder County Farmers Markets, and Lauren Kelso, who leads the Boulder Center for Food and Agriculture, discuss Boulder’s local food and agriculture, building on 40 years of farmers market history while developing a community vision for the next 40. Sehlke and Kelso highlight local issues affecting growers as well as eaters, and advocate for systems-level change to benefit all of us.

March is Oyster Month at Jax, so DQ and Dana dispatched the producer of this show to Hokkaido, Japan to face his fear of oysters. Edutainment ensues.

In this episode of the Community Table podcast, host Dana Query has a casual chat with Kristen Rauch of EatDenver and Anthony Myint of Zero Foodprint, talking about the mission of the two organizations, the food ecosystem in Colorado, and big plans for 2026. They explore innovative solutions to support regenerative agriculture, highlight the collaborative efforts between organizations to create a resilient food ecosystem and discuss the various ways individuals and businesses can get involved in supporting all the cool things that Zero Foodprint and EatDenver are up to. To wrap it up as the Voice from the Community, Peter Waters, owner of T|aco in Boulder, shares an incredible story to lift the spirits and give hope for humanity."

Join us for a culinary trip around the world, as we celebrate food traditions to ring in the new year. In the southern US, we sample "Hoppin' John" a dish based on black eyed peas, collard greens and corn bread. Then it's off to La Puerta del Sol in Madrid, Spain to take on the "Las Doce Uvas de la Suerte" challenge and hear about other new year food traditions in Spanish speaking countries. Finally, we visit Japan to learn about Osechi Ryori.
