Gaza Flotilla Causes Battles Over Fact And Fiction

Chef Kelly Whitaker had already been nominated for three James Beard Awards ahead of the 2024 ceremony, which took place earlier this month. This time, he came to win. On the other hand, Matt Vawter, who opened Rootstalk in Breckenridge just four years ago, was just grateful for his first invite to the “Oscars” of the food industry. “It was an honor to be there just as a nominee and finalist,” Vawter told The Denver Post.

Denver-based Frontier Airlines, having survived against the odds, will celebrate its 30th year in business by offering customers $29 one-way airfares on 100 routes, the company said Tuesday. “We want to thank our customers for their loyalty as we celebrate our 30th birthday this year, and what better way to do so than by offering amazing fares to so many incredible destinations,” said Tyri Squyres, vice president of marketing, Frontier Airlines, in a news release. The promotional fares will be available through 9:59 p.m.

Primary voters set major-party matchups for three open congressional seats, chose a challenger for an incumbent in a battleground district, and weighed in on state and local races across Colorado in Tuesday’s elections. It was all a prelude for the November general election — though voters also selected likely winners in areas dominated by one party.

For a while there, it was touch and go for the buffet. While rumors of its death may have been greatly exaggerated, the past few years haven’t exactly been a boon for the more-is-more, AYCE category. (If you don’t know that that stands for all-you-can-eat, well, grab yourself some stretchy pants and head to Cinzetti’s, stat.) Many buffets were on life support during peak COVID, with several — RIP Sweet Tomatoes and countless weekend brunch buffets — not making it.

Workers at the Live Nation-owned venues Summit Music Hall and Marquis Theater on Tuesday voted to join a stagehands union to combat what they have described as low pay, staffing issues and other poor labor conditions. A majority of the 30 or so eligible stage-crew and production workers at the two Denver venues voted to join the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local #7, according to a statement, in an election overseen by the National Labor Relations Board. The move turns all of Live Nation’s Denver venues, including the Fillmore Auditorium, into businesses where employees will have greater worker protections, according to the Denver-based organization they want to join. “These fearless workers are just looking for a fair shake while working for one of the largest corporations in the industry,” said Max Peterson, business representative for the Denver Theatrical Stage, Film & Exhibition Employees’ Union, in a Denver Post interview earlier this month.

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag. Pose a Rockies- or MLB-related question for the Rockies Mailbag. Greetings Patrick. Where do we start? Unproductive outs (as witnessed Sunday) or ineffective relief pitching? As your statistics showed today, the Rockies’ bullpen is terribly inefficient. Is this a product of insufficient talent or lack of coaching in the organization?
