Side Dish with Schniper

10/19/2026

My wild meal The Fat Duck in the UK.
It’s my lead story in Side Dish this week, as I talk about the trickle down effects from what was once the #1 restaurant in the world to our market. (“Colorado Springs may not be a place that can sustain an institution doing $500 per- person meals daily. But inspiration from a 3-Star that’s doing something like The Fat Duck does inspire our local chefs.”)

The journey from seed to store can be daunting, but Pueblo Seed & Food Company proselytizes consumers on the joys of embracing ancient grains
