Transplant & The Native

Shoutout to our sponsors, Spade & Spoon, Ritual Colorado & Breck Distillery.. because we love y'all.This week's guest is former 5280 Magazine Editor & Colorado Restaurant Association Communication's Director, Denise Mickelson. She is a repeat offender, with this being her 3rd appearance on the pod.. but if Kip is gonna go solo, luckily he has a regular. We are talking about the Colorado Restaurant Associations' annual fundraiser "Drink Red, Wear Red". 20+ restaurants from Denver's metro area will descend on the Museum of Nature & Science on June 8th to help raise funds & awareness for a litany of causes, including the Colorado Restaurant Foundation that offers grants to restaurant worker's for when they're unable to work for a multitude of reasons while also offering mental health, financial & educational opportunities for those in the industry.The event itself, is a gnarly one- all you can eat & drink from cocktails to vino and all the sippers in between. The food goes from sushi
