Huey, thanks for visiting. I live in Denver, so I don’t know when I’ll be in Titusville again, but I’ll definitely visit Caffe Chocolat when I do.

Thank you for your great review! I was greatly impressed that you took the time to take photos and offer such a delightful presentation of Caffe’ Chocolat. As you probably noticed from our menu, there is so much to offer…please allow us to find that one special menu item (in addition to the chocoates)that pleases you beyond measure. We look forward to your next visit with us.

Thanks, Tracie.

I haven’t been to My Brother’s Bar in years (long before I started http://www.culinary-colorado.com), but in my memory, you don’t go there for the food. You go there for the patina and ambiance and the bar’s staying power in that location for such a long time.

I don’t know how to explain it yet, not being an Aperture expert, but black point darkens the photograph in a way that is similar to increasing the contrast, but not exactly the same. I could show you sometime, but at this point I can’t really explain it.

Comment on Titusville Restaurants: Caffe Chocolat by Beth Partin

Beth Partin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:03:56 +0000

Thanks, Dor. I mentioned the 24-hour video surveillance sign because they’re everywhere. They’re on buses, for example, not to mention businesses and airports and so on. When Denver hosted the Democratic National Convention, police put up a bunch of surveillance cameras around the city, and they’re still up. There are US companies who make this surveillance equipment and sell it to China, which likes to police its citizens more than the US does. I don’t like the loss of freedom that goes with all this surveillance. I think instead of installing cameras everywhere, we should hire more police. That would be a more effective way of preventing crime.

That sounds really good. Did you know Jax Fish House is having Oyster Week for the next 2 weeks or so? In Denver and in Boulder, but different weeks, I think. I want to get Todd to go, but I think he’s opposed to the idea of eating a bunch of oysters.

That all looks so amazing. I had to wipe a little drool off my keyboard. We were in Mobile this weekend and once we were in our rental car we headed straight for Wintzell’s Oyster House. We didn’t even stop at the hotel to freshen up. I had the Lunch Steamed Seafood Platter which included shrimp, oysters on the half shell (I’ve never had them steamed) and crab claws. Peter had the Cajun Seafood Fettuccini with Gulf Shrimp and oysters in creole alfredo. His brother had shrimp ‘n grits: cheese grits with jumbo shrimp and crawfish sauce. ALL SO GOOD.

Perry Branch — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:42:38 +0000

Because of this post we took our kids (ages 9 and 7) to see this exhibit on Saturday. They LOVED it. So did we for that matter.

One interesting thing a friend pointed out to me regarding the yellow extension cord plugged into the middle of the piece on the stairs is that it finally ends at a spotlight shining on another piece by the same artist. I thought that was very cool.

Thanks for sharing!

Comment on Denver Jewish Film Festival by Todd Bradley

Todd Bradley — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:34:22 +0000

The weird thing about “Bruriah” is that there is absolutely no evidence the film exists on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). The film is listed at all. And although the director is listed, there’s a noticeable gap in his career associated with this film. It’s hard to believe that a film gets to this level – hitting the festival circuit overseas – without anyone involved adding it to IMDB.

This place is the victim of randomly changing rules on refills and a manager with an attitude that is not conducive to me wanting to come around when she is in they need to make up their mind about wether they will give refills or not and stick with it though if I spent $2.00 on a soda and did not get at least 2 refills I would be pissed and go to Denny’s guess it is a good thing I order their chai which while good is made from a powder
