"A dinner with a hint of imagination and effort, a tree bearing fruit outside the kitchen, a favorite market, an old recipe, can all feed the soul even as they nourish the body." –Thomas Moore, “The Re-enchantment of Everyday Life”

‘Tis the season for fabulous feasts

It’s rib-eye month! Bone-in prime rib roast is a holiday classic. It’s cut to order, so call ahead for your convenience. Sales Manager Don Martin says the rule of thumb is one bone per person. Deliciously priced at $11.99 per pound. Also: Colorado farm-raised turkeys, heritage hams, fresh shipments of Alaskan salmon and halibut, Mississippi Gulf shrimp for surf-and-turf to make your holiday table unforgettable.

Drop anchor at Dockside

In one of those delicious twists of irony, we think the Springs’ favorite fishmonger also makes one of the city’s best burgers. Big. Juicy. Seasoned just right. Thomas English, owner of English Dockside, has applied his genius with seafood to ground beef from  — where else — Ranch Foods Direct, and the results are mouthwatering.

Food fit for the Gods

Venerable Colorado Springs country club, the Garden of the Gods Club, which over the years has been the stunning backdrop for many community events and holiday parties, introduced Callicrate Beef to their dining room menu last month. “America’s most beautiful club, in nature’s most beautiful setting” changed ownership in recent months and renewed its commitment to offering a great dining experience to its members, by featuring hand-cut filets from Ranch Foods Direct and flavorful strip steaks.
