Mike opens the second hour of The Restaurant Show with a bigger conversation about restaurant value, then turns to Colorado Springs barbecue with updates on Dickey’s and the expansion of 719 Chuck Wagon Barbecue on Omaha Boulevard. He and Matt map out some of the best fall-color road trips in Colorado, including Westcliffe, Silvercliffe, Guanella Pass, back roads near Steamboat Springs and scenic routes through southern Colorado. Mike also shares news that Capriotti’s is returning to Colorado Springs, with the Barnes and Powers location reopening under corporate operation and additional plans for Creekwalk. The hour also includes book recommendations, a preview of The Restaurant Show Book Club, local dining deals, downtown Colorado Springs restaurant talk and a value-minded catfish stop at JJ Market. From barbecue and leaf peeping to sandwich shops and sports, Mike keeps the hour moving with plenty of Colorado food and travel ideas.
