The Juicy DIA Burger Scandal and a Weekend of Tricks & Treats
The weekend is so close you can almost taste it. So we’re digging into the biggest food story of the week: A blockbuster trial involving DIA, two homegrown burger empires, allegations of bribery, and a car chase on I70. Newsletter editor and resident foodie Peyton Garcia joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to break down the DIA concessions scandal that went to court this week. Plus, Peyton shares her top picks for the super spooky weekend to come.
Would you prefer Cherry Cricket over Smashburger at DIA? We want to hear where you like to eat at the airport, and what you think might be missing from the menu. Text or leave us a voicemail with your name and neighborhood, and you might hear it on the show: 720-500-5418
Bree mentioned our episode about the Cherry Cricket. The podcast about spiritualism she mentioned was in fact American Hysteria host Chelsey Weber-Smith discussing the topic in a members-only episode of You’re Wrong About.
Here are links to all the events Peyton highlighted:
- Carving & Cocktails (Union Station)
- South Broadway Halloween Parade (Baker)
- Spirits & Spirits (Four Mile Historic Park)
- Trick-or-Treat Trail (Denver Zoo)
