I’m in the airport at a restaurant I actually really like: Denver Chophouse. they offer buffalo burgers and brew their own beer, what else do I need? I wanted a salad and the burg, so I said to the waiter: “I have a weird request.” he interrupts me: “we get weird requests all the time,…

The latest Richard Sandoval modern Mexican restaurant (click here for a HuffPo article on Sandoval), Venga Venga fills the slopeside void in Snowmass.
