Milehicon and Chedd's...
All right. I'm back from Denver, and as usual I had a splendid time. I actually sold books and met new people. Folks showed up to hear me read Cybil's short story and I spoke about urban fantasies...my latest addiction both as a reader and as a writer.
But perhaps the most enjoyable part of being in Denver was going to Chedd's.
So what's the big deal about Chedd's? Well, for starters, it isn't a typical restaurant. Nor is it five star dining, or anything slightly exotic. It's American fare, pure and simple. It's gourmet grilled cheese.
Yes, you read that right. It's grilled cheese, all dressed up and deliciously styled. Now, I'm not talking plain old white bread and slice of Kraft cheese. No, not here.
Not at Chedd's.
We're talking 30 different cheeses from the mothercountry of cheese-Wisconsin. We're talking 20 different breads. Add to that meats, spreads, and vegetables and what you have is a feast on bread, heated and melted to a savory, gooy mess.
Yep. That's why I love Denver. Ate at Chedd's every single DAY I was there. Left the conference to drive the 10 miles to downtown just to snag more Chedd's. They have something new this year, mac and cheese and although I liked it, I probably won't order it again.
Too much cheese mixing.

So glad the conference was worth attending. Can't wait to hear all the stories! :-)
