We're back.. i dont know what's been going on with us, but we're back and sadly we have some shit to talk about. 

Over the weekend multiple restaurants were put on blast & rightfully so. Stone Cellar Bistro in Arvada went after mom's on Mothers Day Weekend and the community has come for them. Poor behavior in the restaurant by staff & worse behavior after the fact online... a tutorial on what not to do really. 

Then we talk about the second story breaking in the Denver Food Community, Grateful Gnome's ownership has been outed for disgusting behavior towards staff & guests alike. Kip & CB talk about both circumstances before shifting gears to positive food talk & recapping New Haven pizza tour.

If you want to support local restaurants who treat guests & staff properly and kindly.. you should be checking out Annette this weekend as they partner up with Theo Adley & the team from Marigold out of Lyons. 

Then before we get out of dodge, we talk about the New Haven pizza tour Kip ran through over the weekend and a conversation about Root Beer, Birch Beer & Cream Soda.. We really touch on everything this episode.

Shoutout to our sponsors of the pod - Meraki Brands Cannabis, Award Winning Flower & Vapes that are taking over the community in Colorado. As well as our sponsors Flower Union Edibles. They're new to the scene and making waves across the state (and country). Check em out!!

We're trying to get back in our groove & enjoy the world at the same time.. we ate well & partied hard for the Holidaze last week and we recap it for the gourmand's in Colorado. Looking to try out the new Cannabis lounge, we got some tips.. just looking for good smoke & pasta in Denver? We got that too.. Italian eats all around. 

In addition, we want to send our best to Westword's Food & Beverage Editor, Molly Martin, as she battles the C-word and will be away from the industry for a bit. Sending her all the love & light during her recovery. 

Thanks to our sponsors Meraki Cannabis for the Quality Smoke + conversation this week. Let's have some fun this spring!

On this episode of Stoned Appetit, we're getting back into our boring ass routine. Smoke Weed, Eat Food & Talk Shit about TV shows we actually liked. 

No drama this week, most of that was covered on last week's episode. For some reason that episode kept getting taken down? So we replaced the audio & reuploaded that one. Check it out if you're trying to get caught up on all the High School drama that is the Denver food world. 

This Thursday, we'll start dropping interviews again. We've got a litany ready for you... so get ready for greatness (again).

We're back for the first time since we kicked the ultimate hornet's nest. We edited this episode cuz Kip went on some gnarly tangents and it didn't benefit anyone to pick anymore fights... saying that, we recap the last month of public policy, the State of the Industry for Colorado's hospitality community, our social media hiatus, recaps from drama in the local restaurant industry.. and some very colorful language for the keyboard cowboys who felt the need to berate our friends, peers & those who are no longer with us. 

We're going back to our normal rotation after this. Episodes dropping Tuesday & Thursday evenings, with guest interviews once a week. We appreciate all those in the industry who reached out with words of support & those who stuck up for us in the community. It means the world to us. 

Stay High, Stay Hungry. Cheers.
