1. E-FOOD DUDE STARTS A BLOG

Readers, friends, associates, colleagues, and everyone I meet ask me about the best restaurants in town. I always reply "that depends". The "best restaurant" is defined as the restaurant best suited for your state of need ... whether that is Family Italian on the North Side or Fine Dining with a Southwest flavor. This is why we created ColoradoEats and our bi-monthly Newsbytes. To help you, our faithful readers, get the inside scoop on our restaurant scene and make the best use of your dining time.

Let's face it ... most of us have very little disposable income (let alone disposable time), but what we do have in the way of 'extra', we like to make sure that we enjoy. Now, due to many requests, I am writing other useful restaurant information (and trying to be entertaining too) in my very own blog: corestaurants.blogspot.com. You are invited to join the discussion, send me feedback, post your comments and stories, and continue to have the inside track to the dining scene in our great city!!

I also have a new page on the website (Contact Me) where you can send me your comments. If there is a restaurant you would like to see listed, if you had an awesome dining experience (or a bad one), if you took a trip to the mother land of wine, or if you just want to say hello ... drop me a line!

Bon Appetite and Happy Dining! - E-Food Dude

4. RESTAURANTS OPEN FOR THANKSGIVING

Too busy to cook a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but would like to enjoy one? No problem. ColoradoEats.com has some restaurants that are open on Thanksgiving and are serving all your favorites. Here’s where you can gobble up your Thanksgiving dinner…Bastien’s Restaurant, Kevin Taylor Restaurants, and Stagecoach Inn. In the next week we will have a special web site just for these (and other) restaurants that will be open during this festive holiday. Make sure you check the web site because we will be adding more restaurants as they let us know.
5. SUNDAY SUPPERS AT THE MARGARITA AT PINE CREEK

Chef Eric's newest idea: Sunday Suppers, family style once a month. The first one will be November 4th. You can feast on four courses for $29 with half priced bottles and glasses of selected wines. The menu will highlight some of the Margarita’s recipes from the past as well as newer versions of classic comfort foods. So call your Sons, Daughters, Nieces, Nephews, Moms, Dads and Friends to have a great sit-down family dinner at The Margarita without having to do the dishes. Please call to make reservations.
