Weekend Specials
There are some more Fairly Important Football Games™ coming up this weekend, and the following weekend, and the following weekend, all in preparation for The Very Important Football Game™ on February 11. Watchers of The Important Football Game™ series require sustenance, and we have many items on special that could be considered vital to the cause: bratwursts, avocados, cheese, Niman Ranch ground beef, and more. The specials in this newsletter will be good from tomorrow, 1/19, through Sunday, 1/21.
A Fairly Important Football Game™ without bratwursts is like pretty much everything else that doesn't have bratwursts, when you think about it. But football games WITH bratwursts have their jubilation level ramped up by a factor of 12, according to this equation:
Our market-pick bratwursts, kielbasa, and polish sausages are made for us by CharcutNuvo, here in Denver.
CharcuNuvo partners with U.S. ranchers who ethically raise their animals on sustainable farms without the use of antibiotics and hormones — they believe that animals should be able to live as naturally as possible, which is why they source grass-fed and grass-finished beef, and they support ranchers who are focused on regenerative agriculture. Artificial ingredients, chemicals, and unnecessary fillers such as sugars are never used.

"Darn fabulous" isn't the brand of these avocados, it's the description. We try our mightiest to unveil avocados that are floating in that ethereal sphere between too ripe and not ripe enough because, as comedian Gary Gulman says, "[T]hey're only ripe for six minutes." Our aim is to nestle you comfortable within that six-minute window of perfect avocados.

Heartland Catfish Company dates back to 1968, when William Tackett and his wife, Marue, both of whom were already farming, built a catfish pond near Belzoni, Mississippi. As they raised more and more catfish, it became difficult to transport all of those fish to farmer-owned processors in the area, so in 1996 they formed Heartland Catfish Company, and it grew rapidly.
Mr. Tackett passed away in 2012, but his principles live on: Heartland manages the fish supply from egg to harvest; they ensure that their operation is environmentally responsible; catfish ponds are not exposed to groundwater pollution and serve as safe, artificial wetland habitats; and the fish are fed a high-protein, grain-based floating feed that gives them their notable mild and sweet flavor.
Experience really good catfish and save $2 per pound through Sunday. (There's an online recipe book right here.)

These cheddars have been aged one year longer than your nine-year-old cat. Your cat may have grown mellower with age, but these cheddars have acquired sharpness, complexity and richness. And at $4.99 per pound you can get both and then compare and contrast their flavors at halftime.

What can you do with our Niman Ranch Butcher's Choice ground beef? A quadrillion things, give or take a couple. This ground beef flavorifies chili, provides the basis for a glorious meatloaf, gives the umph to a shepherd's pie, and of course transforms into the tastiest burgers you'll ever cook — this is the exact same beef we serve at our summer Burger Nights.
WEEKEND PRICE: $8.99/lb

It may look like these two halves of the same sandwich just got into a traffic accident, but they are in fact ready-to-eat and somewhat awkwardly posed. Named after Peak 10 (elevation 13,640 feet) near Breckenridge, atop which the pastrami sandwich was invented in 1993 by Burt Bacharach, our Peak 10 Pastrami Sandwich has multitudinous layers of thinly sliced Niman Ranch pastrami, Swiss cheese, deli mustard, and bread & butter pickles, served all hot-and-melty-like on our market-made Jewish rye. It's a scrumptious sandwich adventure, and you won't get elevation sickness climbing this Peak 10.
