What you said about the dessert, however: "you accept the spray whipped cream as part of the territory", is not necessarily a bad thing. I've had passable spray stuff - if it is REAL whipped cream. Cool-whip and the rest of the "whipped toppings", whether in the tub or out of a can, are truly horrific. But real whipped cream in a spray can? Not the worst thing by a long shot. *grin* Good report - the bit on Johnson’s Corner brought back memories!

The story behind T&L's including Johnson's Corner as one of the world's top breakfast spots is that the author grew up in Cheyenne. When his family drove to Denver on US 285 (or is it 287?) before Interstate 25 was built, they always stopped at Johnson's Corner. I live in Boulder and have written about food and restaurants at www.-claire-walter.com/dining/ and http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com. You’ve hit some real classics.

I love dipping things. How was the buffalo ribeye? It looked so down-home. The fondue looked GREAT! I love dipping things. How was the buffalo ribeye? It looked so down-home.
