SideDish Longmont

Again without a guest, the conversation off-roads into a stream of consciousness discussion of many topics.  Lucky for us, Annie brings the guys back to being serious with her question about what's needed downtown.   Let us know what you think our downtown needs by reaching out at [email protected].  Be sure to catch out own music star (Annie) at the May 20th Cantabile concert.

Brady, Annie and Eric are without a guest this week so what else could they possibly talk about -- traffic, restaurants, and missing stop signs.  The trio bids a sad farewell to a few businesses (Smokin Bowls and Kirklands) and laments the temporary closure of Boston Avenue (bridge repair).  Welcome to Renaissance Liquors and a hardy welcome back to the Cinco de Mayo celebration (back after two years!).

In this episode the trio starts with a discussion about baking powder (again), remembering names of people that you haven't seen in a long time, atheist dinners, the Bacon Bandito at Ollin Farms, and Ryan Wibby's mysterious German beer training.

Annie, Eric and Brady are thankfully joined by Kenneth & Tondra Gaspard Sr  who discuss their new food ventur, New Orleans Chefs of Colorado.  In addition to serving amazing creole, cajun, vegan and gluten free southern fare, Tondra and Kenneth are proud to serve authentic, sinfully tasty food that is true to their slogan.  “Lip smackin’~feet, foot tappin’~finger snappin’~C’est bon”.

Annie, Brady and Eric follow up their riveting discussion about baking powder with another riveting discussion about baking powder.  For those that enjoy discussions of traffic and baking powder this is your dream podcast.  Other questions to ponder.  Why is everyone moving away from Brady?   Does the new car wash on 11th and Main offer passes?  All these are explored in today's episode. 

The group is joined by Heather Stenner, co-founder of Porch Box, a local company that makes boxes for every purpose.  Beautiful, local and practical.  Thanks to Heather for joining us and for providing some chat relief to our conversation!

Please pardon our rambling.  The trio is adrift without a guest so they discuss everything from baking powder, Easter egg hunts, lines at drive throughs, and Irish pronouns.  Buckle up, this is a crazy ride.

NOTE: Our apologies to Chef Tondra for not being able to complete our interview.  Her internet was cutting out so we ended the interview and will reschedule her when she's back in town. 

The gang is back and in the 'cold open', Brady and Annie watch Eric try freeze dried ice cream (interesting).  The trio discusses the opening of Scooters Coffee, Swaylos, a new place to Spin, saving a local dinner theater and the entertainment value of the Council podcast.

Annie, Brady and Eric discuss Pura Vida Moms with Christa Jimenez.  Pura Vida Moms is the recipient of recent EforAll award.  Christa tells the trio about Costa Rica travel, recipes and ingredients.   

In other notes, Brady regales in linear bicycle and pedestrian routes and frozen midwestern beef.   The trio finishes out the pod discussing names of Longmont and an article that mentions Longmont as a suburb of Boulder.  What the H#$L?!

This week the trio is on their own without a guest.  Annie, Brady and Eric discuss the bitter cold, pickle beer, coming of Sweet Cow Creamery, Eric's lucky Bundt (cake), live music and a new name (Baked by the Lake) for an old event in Longmont (Rhythm on the River). They finish the pod by talking about first concert, worst concert.  Guess Eric's first at [email protected]

Annie, Brady and Eric are pleased to speak to Entreprenuership for All (EforAll)  winner, Susan Loriho, owner and founder of Susan's Samosas.  Susan describes her new business, her Sudanese recipes, and how people can order samosas for dinner and catering. 

In business news around Longmont the trio discusses pottery and the new business, The Wheelhouse, where you can learn how to make pottery or finely tune your pottery skills.  Finally Annie and Brady compete on who worked harder to sell products -- Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts.  We all know it was Annie!

Annie, Brady and Eric ramble on about Valentine's Day, glasswear in restaurants, floor to ceiling bathroom doors, Texas BBQ, and the 10 year anniversary of a closed restaurant in Boulder (we're not slow to report news...just accurate and methodical).  New developments on Main and 16th, Ken Pratt Parkway and the new mega gas station are the hot raves by the crew this week.
