The past year has been one change after another for me when it comes to my personal and work life. And although I have continued to explore the Colorado Springs restaurant scene, unfortunately Springs Native had to take a backseat.
There is good news though – despite what the weather is doing this weekend, summertime is coming up! AKA it’s the season to eat and drink on the patio, which is pretty much a sport for me. Give me some bottomless mimosas and a chair in the sun, and we’re in business. This means there will be lots of pictures, reviews and posts coming your way! Stay tuned for more, but in the meantime, here are some of my favorite eats from the past couple months.
