Green Chile, Jolly Ranchers, and… the Cheeseburger? Colorado’s Claims to Food Fame
Description
Yes, we Denverites love our green chile, but that fiery green-ish, orange-ish stew is hardly known at all in the rest of the country. Instead, we’re known for things like the Denver omelet and, oddly, the cheeseburger. So it’s time to set the record straight. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi invited the host of the James Beard Award-winning podcast The Sporkful, Dan Pashman, to talk through some of Colorado’s greatest claims to food fame (and some we wish we could forget).
Go follow The Sporkful wherever you get your podcasts to hear the episode Paul produced about his six-year quest to uncover the truth of “Colorado-style pizza,” and check out Dan’s Instagram to see him taste-test Beau Jo’s for the first time.
