the place to be




a few years ago, my friend Nancy asked me to go in on a joke of sorts with her for her kids. we lived in denver at the time. she asked me to meet her at this place with her kids at a certain time for brunch. i'm thinking, "brunch? i'm there" not too hard to convince me to go to a place with Nancy for food.






Nancy is a straight-laced woman...well, she appears to be. she is the quintessential lady, wearing suits, with high end lace collared shirts. but, she is a therapist, which lends her to be open to anything. she is also a foodie. this woman has searched us out the best restaurants and each time, we go...and die a little bit when we eat the food.






well, that day, i met them at the restaurant and i walked in to the most amazing smells. however, the decor was a bit, well, different.






there was lawn furniture inside and barbie dolls in compromising positions on the tables. and then there were things like this:





it takes a little getting used to, i'll admit. sitting a table while your waiter is rubbing his fake nipples made out of bubble gum or putting his "pouch" on your table. but man oh man, is IT worth it. it's called Bump and Grind and features menu items such as "carmel knowledge" and "elaine's big salad" my favorite is the mac and cheese. it's a brick of it. literally. and it has rosemary, glorious cheese, wonderful noodles.


if you are denver, this is not to miss. really.

God, I need to bring Mike there and secretly film him throughout the whole meal... It would be priceless.

OMG, that would be my dream person to bring there. It's a mission. we are, before we ever kick the bucket, bringing Mike there. he would die

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!
