Last Friday, we and 200 of our friends partied at Cottonwood Center for the Arts in celebration of Rocky Mountain Food Report’s first birthday.

We were honored to do so in conjunction with Cottonwood’s First Friday art opening, and were joined by our friends artist Liese Chavez and chef Brother Luck, and presented amazing food from Luck, Rocky Mountain BBQ and Blank Canvas Cafe.

It’s been a great year, with the site growing to a high of some 8,000 readers; being joined by writers like J.L Fields, Michele Mukatis; and the debut of staff writer Dionne Roberts. We’re delighted to work with our advertisers at Springs Orleans, Front Range Barbeque, The Famous and Ginseng Creative. And everyday we’re proud and thankful to be living in this city.

Edie and I love you for reading. As the kids say: hashtag blessed. Now on to the party!
