Mike kicks off The Restaurant Show with World Cup predictions, memories of Argentina and Lionel Messi, and a listener contest tied to the championship match. He then heads into the Colorado Springs restaurant scene with a first look at Urban Grocer, the new upscale market opened by Warehouse Restaurant owner and chef James Africano. From premium fried chicken and locally made Zia tortilla chips to Linda Sue’s salsa and imported tuna, Mike breaks down whether higher-priced specialty groceries are actually worth the money. He also highlights local restaurants, Colorado food producers, downtown development and the dramatic growth of the Colorado Springs dining scene. Along the way, Mike shares stories about Nashville songwriters, restaurant events, his dog Bailey and the power of community.

Since 1991, my Restaurant Shows have entertained people all along the Front Range on radio and television. The shows offer a knowledgeable, yet lighthearted, look at the ever changing restaurant scene throughout the Denver metropolitan area and Colorado Springs.

The shows occasionally venture into other areas like travel, movies, books, and sports. Groups of listeners also join me throughout the year for enjoyable vacations to places like Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, and more. Authors interviewed include Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, Gordon Liddy and novelists such as Michael Connelly, Steve Berry, Janet Evanovich, Alex Berenson, and many more.
