Monday, April 27, 2009, 12:13 PM Let’s face it: Even in times of economic duress, America is a land of excess and indulgence. We know that the average food portion is at least twice what it was a few decades ago, leading to ever-growing waistlines and health risks galore. But there is a way you can offer a healthier alternative while increasing your profit margin and adding interest to your menu: Go small! Sure, some customers will always order your largest meal deals and seven-topping pizza s. But others are finding that smaller is better.

As the weather gets warmer, I’m already looking forward to summer travels. Last summer I spent many a week on the road and after it was all done wrote a mega-blog regarding all I had learned along the way. I will post these observations in parts over the next few days to get everyone thinking about upcoming events for this year! Recession? What recession? I refuse to let doom-and-gloom reports of economic woe deter me from summer traveling, especially when those trips can provide great learning experiences.

As the weather gets warmer, I’m already looking forward to summer travels. Last summer I spent many a week on the road and after it was all done wrote a mega-blog regarding all I had learned along the way. This is the final post from the series, and I hope I’ve gotten you thinking about upcoming events for this year! Don’t drink too much in the Mile High City. A trip to Denver in June proved that God has a twisted sense of humor: The Denver area is known as “the Napa Valley of beer,” but if you’re a visitor you’ll likely feel tipsy after a couple of samples, thanks to the high elevation. Still, I toured (and sampled at) some of the most successful breweries in Colorado, including New Belgium in Fort Collins, and the original Coors (now Miller-Coors) in Golden. New Belgium is noteworthy not only for its impressive growth and environmental friendliness (the brewery is run entirely on wind power) but its company ethic: Employees receive a bike and share ownership in the company after one year of employment. Smaller breweries and brewpubs also proved to churn out amazing beers on a smaller scale, like at Denver’s Great Divide Brewing Co.

Pan Asian Shrimp : All rice is naturally gluten-free. Brown rice is much healthier than white because it has not been processed. Processing strips away about one-half of brown rice’s significant health benefits.
