From Indy Food & Drink Editor Matthew Schniper: It

From Indy Food & Drink Editor Matthew Schniper: It’s rare to find food this spectacular in a town of around 4,000 people. But here we are at 3-year-old Turmeric Indian & Nepalese Restaurant in Florence, just outside Cañon City, and I’m awash in vibrant, almost hypnotic spices that are warming me to the core. I immediately taste that something’s different and special here, putting it in a league of its own in the entire region, C. Springs included. But what’s that difference? What exactly is going on? And who in the hell is in the kitchen making this magic happen? So many questions. Read more at csindy.com. #foodreview #florenceco #csindy

While practicing true hygge might usually include mindful appreciation of your surroundings, escapism is a necessary form of comfort and self-care for many people — whether it comes in the form of a soothing game, a lighthearted movie or a good book (this last activity, at least, is hygge-approved). Go to csindy.com for 20 feel-good books, movies, TV shows and games to enjoy this winter. It's soft, cozy, feel-good media to consume while you’re enjoying a warm winter indoors. #winter #getcozy #csindy

Since Maria's Taco Shop launched the birria quesap

Since Maria's Taco Shop launched the birria quesapizza special a month ago, they’ve been selling out daily. What the construct actually is: three layered, giant tortillas (one in the middle) filled with gooey mozzarella cheese and pulled beef birria, garnished with blended, shredded cheese and queso and served with birria broth as a dip, plus green (tomatillo) and red (chile de árbol and an undisclosed other pepper) salsas.

From our Indy food reviewer Griffin Swartzell: Reg

From our Indy food reviewer Griffin Swartzell: Regardless of location, @mekaskitchen already stands out, because the sauce is boss. (Or, rather, the sauces are … bosses?) We only try her jerk chicken in the form of a Jamaican patty — an evolution of the Cornish pasty introduced under English colonial rule — but it steals the show and our hearts. It’s beautifully seasoned, with a hint of earthiness and almost floral notes, allspice leading the choir with chile pepper heat supporting. It ranks up there as some of the best jerk I’ve had. Similarly sauce-spectacular, the curry chicken entrée (also available in patty form for those on the go) comes with a mound of sauced potatoes and carrots atop rice and peas, upon which the medium-heat curry sauce dances like a drunken angel. The quarter chicken, a bone-in thigh and drumstick, has juicy, tender meat — still identifiably chicken through the strong curry flavor. Also noteworthy, the spicy Jamaican beef patty (also available with mild heat) rates genuinely spicy, with mild cumin and curry notes present as well in the thick, smooth filling.

It’s a shame what COVID did to the prospect of safely visiting a Renaissance Festival this year, but those craving the primal satisfaction of eating a massive, juicy, smoky, mahogany-crusted turkey leg can scratch that itch still. @turknstuff opened in late summer of 2020, specializing in smoked turkey legs sold with or without sides. But we don’t order a turkey leg, instead picking a spicy barbecue turkey sandwich and a side of dirty rice, more for portion reasons than anything else. What we get, though, proves pretty special.

In November, community advocate Juelz Ramirez launched a documentary series called @dailydose719, focusing on Southeast Colorado Springs. Each episode tackles a unique aspect of life and health equity — which the World Health Organization defines as “the absence of unfair and avoidable or remediable differences in health among population groups defined socially, economically, demographically or geographically” — in Southeast Colorado Springs. Daily Dose 719 is available on Facebook and YouTube. Ramirez says the series came about through a partnership with RISE Southeast and Solid Rock Community Development Corporation: The Equity Compass, which Ramirez describes as “an initiative that helps communities use data and storytelling to create equity within their communities.” Read more at csindy.com. #southeastcoloradosprings

On July 31, 1871, Gen. William Jackson Palmer and

On July 31, 1871, Gen. William Jackson Palmer and a group of citizens gathered at the southeast corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade avenues and declared Colorado Springs to be an established city within the territory of Colorado. They sealed their declaration by driving an iron stake into the ground. On July 31, 2021, Colorado Springs — now the 39th largest city in the United States — will officially turn 150 years old, and its citizens will once again gather to celebrate. The city’s sesquicentennial will be celebrated with an array of planned activities throughout the year.

In 2019, we started a new holiday tradition here at the Indy: The Great Indy Bake-Off. Employees from all departments — sales to design to digital to editorial — offered up their cookies to the discerning palates of our judges. Then we shared our winning recipes with you, our readers! It was such fun, we couldn’t imagine not doing it this year. So if you’re looking for a new recipe for your holiday cookies — simple or complex, gluten-free or gluten-full — look no further than our end-of-year super issue available at racks today or online at csindy.com! #alwaysfree #greatindybakeoff #csindy #happyholidays

Dominika Mills and Zachary Short started @mikas.p

Dominika Mills and Zachary Short started @mikas.pierogi.kitchen in late October of 2020 and almost immediately found themselves in over their heads. Whatever sales figures they were hoping to see were left in the dust, and by their second week in business, they were working 20-hour days to make and deliver around 500 pierogies a day. As of early December, Mills and Short were able to hire help and have since transitioned to a pickup model, working from a brick-and-mortar storefront that they share with Boz Catering in the Rockrimmon neighborhood. Mills is originally from a town outside Krakow, Poland, and has lived in the Springs since 2003. Short comes from Oregon and retired to the Springs after serving in the Army. They hope to turn the company into a national chain in the long term, offering a mix of traditional Eastern European toppings as well as American-friendly fusion options.
