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.
