Ever wondered about the food scene in Pueblo, Colorado? This surprise Halloween episode will take you on a scrumptious journey to the most beloved local restaurants, and immerse you in lively debates over the best margaritas in town. Get ready to hear us argue about our childhood favorites like Shamrock, the delectable cake margarita from Tacos Fuego and the notoriously strong Jorge’s margaritas.
Does a city's dark past intrigue you? We unravel the chilling history of the Colorado State Hospital and its puzzling tunnels. Listen in as we reveal tales of mass cemeteries, prison cells, and steam lines leading to the 13th Street women's prison. You'll also get an insight into how prohibition shaped local bars and breweries, and get an introduction to the mafia-themed Geno's Bar.
But it's not all about just food and history. We also delve (no clichés here!) into how notorious mobster Al Capone is tied to Pueblo's past, and explore the landmarks commemorating the city's infamous flood.
