Chef Rays Culinary Concepts

I have been working on Chef Ray-Rays personal Chef Services part time for a while now and I do apoligize for that.  I have been working on numorus projects, opening up successfull restauants and jumping on  the opprtunity to work beside some of our local promenant business owners.

This will give me the time I need to gain new clientale and have more fun doing what I love.  Lots o...

The brewery co-founder and co-brewery Chris Asher previously ran Redfish brewery in Boulder.  When Redfish closed their doors, Chris and fellow brewing buddy Steve Turner decided they were going to open their own brewery.  They wanted to go out on a limb and do something that has never been done with craft beer in Colorado.  They wanted to go ORGANIC!!

Well spring is here and the planting is started and those pesky "weeds" that most people find bothersome and spend countless hours in vain trying to remove.  No matter what they do year after year they keep coming back.  I say stop trying to poison them and start actually getting some use out of them.  I say EAT them.  Thats right eat them....
