In the first episode of Netflix’s new series “Bake Squad,” Denver-based pastry chef Gonzo Jimenez sculpts a giant chocolate egg with an edible dragon hidden inside. Its sharp claws reach out from a hole in the surface, its beady eyes stare lifelike from within the shell, waiting to be cracked open and devoured. Filming for the series took place during the pandemic, a time when “the world needed something that was a little pick-me-up when it came to food and shows overall,” Jimenez said. “I think it clicked after the pandemic (started),” he added. “People want to indulge, and there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself.” The idea behind “Bake Squad,” according to Jimenez, is to combine the various talents of pastry chefs who appear like a team of “action heroes,” all responding to clients’ baking challenges with different dessert solutions. More than a competition, the show is meant to provide inspiration, a “la-la-land” version of real-life, Jimenez said. But that dragon … [Read more...] about 4 dessert destinations for you to discover in Denver right now

His binge has earned him a place in the Guinness World Book of Records. Donald Gorske, 68, had his first Big Mac in Wisconsin in 1972. He told Guinness it was “love at first bite”. "In that moment I said 'I'm going to probably eat these for the rest of my life',” he added. Gorske first set the record of “eating most Mac burgers in a lifetime” in 1999. He had eaten 15,490 burgers by then. Since then, his record has more than doubled. By 2021, the number of burgers he consumed went up to 32,340.
