Stoned Appetit

On today's episode of #QuarantineChronicles by Stoned Appetit is a great one. We sit down with Chef Mario Vega of Lakehouse Tavern & Kitchen in Littleton. Mario & his team opened their digs in January right before the pandemic landed in the states. We talk about the crazy circumstances, pivoting his original business model to a takeout & drive thru spot, and his excellent fried chicken. This restaurant will do very very well, as soon as we're allowed to be outside again. Listen to Mario's story, try out his new spot & dank eats, and don't forget.. wash your hands you filthy fucking animals.

On today's episode of #QuarantineChronicles, we jump on Zoom to chat with Chef & Proprietor Caroline Glover, to discuss how the pandemic has effected not only her digs, but their whole food hall. We talk with Caroline about the pivot from dine-in to takeout. We talk about how Stanley Market was on the forefront of proactive planning... and how to navigate the uncertain times and ever changing laws. Caroline & team have set up a drive-thru pick up spot available by calling in before your order, or ordering once you get to the parking lot.

Chris is back from injury!!! On this week's episode of Stoned Appetit, we trekked up to the burbs of North Denver to "Smoke the good stuff" with the founders of Sugarfire Smokehouse. The gang sat down with Chad & Jamie and their team. We shot the shit about slinging meat, how they got in the business and then the usual debauchery. These guys were an absolute hoot as we talked how they created the menu (highlighting the best of the BBQ genres around the country) and their history in the industry. After we talk all things Que, we dive into some hard hitting questions like what the CO food scene is missing, how the barbecue scene is portrayed by outsiders and then our usuals like Answer The Internet style questions, and their favorite Denver (Boulder too) dives. Great guests, delicious snacks and fantastic episode.
