The majority owner of Chubby’s, a restaurant and cultural institution in north Denver, is being sued for allegedly pilfering hundreds of thousands of dollars in company funds.
In the 2014 film
What If, two twenty-something hipsters in Toronto start talking about a sandwich that was created in Denver almost forty years ago, when the Colorado Mine Company was the hottest restaurant in Glendale, beloved by athletes, cops.and Elvis. According to legend, the gargantuan Fool s Gold Loaf was cooked up one night in 1976 when the King was in town for a concert and hungry; he d later send his plane in to pick up an order.
If you want to re-create this indelicate delicacy at home, it s basically a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with bacon, made with two tablespoons of margarine, one loaf of French bread, one pound of bacon, one jar of peanut butter and one jar of grape jelly. You take the bread, bathe it in butter on all sides, bake it, gut it and then fill the inside with peanut butter and jelly and bacon, sans grease, which you absorb by placing it between two paper towels.
