We were all excited to have Beau Raffensperger on the show today ahead of opening his new restaurant, The Den on Eleventh. Buuttt.... would you believe he's super busy what with the restaurant officially opening this Monday (June 10)? Anyway, it's Annie and Brady and actually we've got a heap of things happening around town. Heaps. Even some listener mail. Oh, and if YOU have news about Longmont (heaps or otherwise) send it our way!

Today we are joined by Shakeel Dalal of LAUNCH: Longmont Housing - a local coalition focused on housing. Well, housing, affordability, sustainability, environmental impact... Like, a holistic approach to housing and community. It doesn't have to be scary! Before all that, though, we talk Longmont. You know, restaurants and 4/20. Oh, and lent gets a mention, too. So, Brady talks fried fish and Annie talks cocktails.

Boy, we really need to do some kind of roundup, because there's a heap of openings, closings, and sales. About those openings, we've also got Chef Larry who is currently building out Red Cedar Bistro, a Mediterranean restaurant on Main. He's set to open in the next few months, and I can tell you after our chat we left hungry.
Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.2024-03-2441 minSideDish LongmontWinchell's and GardeningNote: Next LIVE recording is April 4 at Dryland Distillery!
It's another episode dedicated to Longmont (mostly). Some said it couldn't be done! Other's said it shouldn't be done! Well, they did it. Today, Annie and Brady are joined by a large black curtain that seems to confuse them both. They also offer the latest on Winchell's, and little "irrational" humor (as this is a pi-based math joke, it's VERY little humor.)
Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our Intro and Outro Music.2024-03-0624 minSideDish LongmontInside the the Sugar MillThis week starts with a Sidedish original: Brady does his homework! (And, Annie warms a seat at the back of the class!) Then, we talk REAL sweets stuff... massive redevelopment plans at the Sugar Mill. (*groan* that's not very good.) Charlie Woolley has a HUGE update about what's is planned over there. It's... actually super informative?
Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.
sidedishlongmont.com/episodes/show-190-sugar-milll2023-11-1059 minSideDish LongmontCarpet CleaningToday, Annie and Brady wonder about carpet cleaning. How targeted do they make cleaning agents? Do they include some of the lesser-thought-of bodily fluids? Also, are carpet cleaners dramatically underpaid?
Oh and we actually talk about Longmont from time to time, too.

Meaning, there will be football in Boulder. It seems like kind of a big deal and people are worried about traffic. We bring it up because we hear the coach, "Mr. Prime," bought a house in Longmont. Or, at least the house is near Longmont so the news seems relevant. Don't worry, Brady's not trying to find out where this guy lives or be weird. But as you can tell this podcast will dive deep into the rivalry and legend of college ball. Also, Annie likes going to the office...2023-09-0842 minSideDish LongmontCold Off The PressesThis week Annie and Brady explore Longmont's JUICIEST news! Seriously, this podcast has never been juicier, not even when we mention that seafood place - you know... the one with "juicy" in its name. It might have something to do with the guest Robyn Knowlan, owner of one of Longmont's newest (healthiest) beverage bars - Wonder Press! Join us for for all the (juicy) details and for a healthy amount of sophomoric giggling.
Thanks for Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music!2023-08-2554 minSideDish LongmontBig Hairy DealThis week, Annie and Brady learn that Longmont has a real contender in the 2023 USA Mullet Championship. Come to think of it, this week Annie and Brady learn that the 2023 Mullet Championship is even a thing. Also, there’s some WONDERFULLY JUICY news about the (former!) Ziggy’s location on Francis. And then there’s the cultural phenomenon that is BARBENHEIMER. What even is it? Why even is it? Who knows, man.
Completely unrelated, this week’s vocabulary word is “portmanteau.”

Today, Annie and Brady are joined by Lauren (Wren) Stapleton of the Wolf and Wren - which is called a “greeting card shop” by google maps. But holy cow is it more than that. She bribes the hosts with some incredibly charming paper products, and BOY does it work. I even got one with a dog holding a “thank you” sign. Adorable. Uh… Listen now!
https://wolfandwre2023-07-1554 minSideDish LongmontDog Cataracts and Crazy ScreamingThis week, Brady shares his opinion on dog cataract surgery and Annie keeps hers to herself. Why the secrets - what is she hiding? We may never know. Maybe a well orchestrated email campaign could break the silence? For the moment, it remains a mystery. All we really know is that she’s dropping balls. Just dropping them everywhere. There’s too many balls. Why does she have so many? Nobody knows. Oh, and we drop the big restaurant news we've been teasing. On a completely unrelated note, the Crisis Outreach Response and Engagement (CORE / Co-Responder) phone number is: 303-774...2023-06-3047 minSideDish LongmontA Sadist and Moose TranquilizersYeah, in Longmont. What can we say, sometimes people are gluttons for abuse… and sometimes heavy sedatives really are the answer. And YES, we’re still talking about Longmont. Of course, context is everything. And if you want context, you should maybe join Annie and Brady (and guest Jack Bestall). There’s also some talk about road danger and development, and it wouldn’t be a SideDish episode without a little traffic talk.

And, boy, do we go hard on dishes and dishing. Wait, we’re saying, “dish” way too much now aren’t we. See, it was supposed to be a play on Naomi’s EXTENSIVE restaurant knowledge (like holy crap), and also on “dishing” gossip. Jokes are at their best when you have to explain them, right?

Well, today, Annie and Brady get Boyd's circuitous story that starts, strangely enough, with competitive waterskiing. As expected, it winds through laminates, fortune building, BASE jumping, jetbikes, and brain cancer. So, why DID Boyd decide to go with, "Jetpack Stickers?" You'll have to hear the whole story from him.

Though, maybe we should call him "King Keefe" for how much he talks about "the throne." Maybe it's a missed opportunity. Too much? Ah, well, it didn't seem to be too much for him (or any of us) at the time. Don't worry, it's not all potty references, some of them are just regular ol' pot references.

This week Annie and Brady are joined by Erik Mason - Curator of History at the Longmont Museum - who reminds us how good we have it. That’s right, we get to the bottom of those “no cruising” signs on Main street. We also talk turkey, or, more specifically we talk about restless nights and the souls of a million deceased poultry. Or… poultry-geists?

We can't say that they're experts, but they do seem to have more experience than they want. Join us to learn why the library is the perfect spot for a date and to hear some (extremely) strained metaphors about seeds, tomatoes, and dating.

Obviously this was because of our commitment to quality and not because we're tech dummies. Ahem... anyway, we're just elated that Sarah Welle came back for our redo. Sarah is the co-founder of Colorado Crafted - a company that curates Colorado products into giftable experiences. She's also a Longmont Enjoyer and likes a game of duck duck gray duck.
