What’s the state of Colorado Springs’ food scene? Are we overhyped or underrated?
Matthew introduces State of Plate’s intent to do a deep dive on Colorado Springs’ food and drink scene. Guests are Springs natives Shane Lyons and Jarod Boyer. Lyons is a chef and food consultant who’s worked across the country, including in New York and L.A. Boyer is a sommelier at Michelin-starred Alinea in Chicago. We introduce the core questions: Where are we now, where do we want to go and how do we advance? We discuss everything from chain-drain and local development impacts to service excellence and the Springs’ sophisticated drink scene.
The Colorado Springs Indy has been the alternative newsweekly voice for the Pikes Peak Region since 1993. We strive to have a positive impact on our beloved community by making the Pikes Peak region a more informed, more tolerant, more ecological and a more fun place to live. Matthew Schniper has been a writer and editor at the paper since 2006.
