eTown Presents The Talk of Our Town

Nick Forster, the founder and CEO of eTown, member of the award-winning band Hot Rize, and a true Boulder icon, brings his signature warmth and insight to The Talk of Our Town. This series invites notable guests to dive deep into the people, culture and stories that have made Boulder the city that it is today.

On February 27th, Nick sits down with two legendary figures shaping Boulder’s food scene, Dave Query and John Lehndorff.

Dave Query: Dave is the visionary founder of Big Red F Restaurant Group, one of Colorado’s most successful hospitality empires. His restaurants - including Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar, The Post Chicken & Beer, West End Tavern, Centro Mexican Kitchen, and Velvet Elk Lounge - have set the standard for dining in Boulder and beyond.

John Lehndorff: A longtime food journalist and storyteller, John has chronicled Colorado’s evolving food culture for decades through publications like Boulder Weekly, Colorado AvidGolfer, and Peak Magazine and as the host of Radio Nibbles and Kitchen Table Talk on KGNU. He brings a deep understanding of the history and evolution of Boulder’s unique food scene.

Together, they’ll explore how Boulder became a nationally recognized food destination, the history of downtown restuarants, the trends chaping its future and the behind-the-scenes stories that bring it all to life.
