Hungry for a bite?

It's a blog bonanza.

Today in Cafe Society: • The eleven Halloween treats you really don't want to see in your pillowcase. • A farewell to Via Modern Tratteria & Bar. • Indulging at Indulge Wine Bar. • Trying cookies that are Boulder Baked. • Dan Landes guests on the Food Network's Dinner Impossible. This meal will self-destruct in ten seconds.

Today in Backbeat Online: • Reviewing Diplo at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom. • A critique of Ray LaMontagne at Mackey Auditorium.

Today in The Latest Word: • Adam Cayton-Holland's new pro-Obama video. • Counting the cards -- and the votes -- regarding higher Blackjack stakes at Colorado casinos. • The precipitous circulation downturn at the Denver dailies. • The most overexposed celebrities on the campaign trail. • Our suggestions for the next presidential press secretary. Sorry, Dana Perino. You may be from Colorado, but you're yesterday's news. -- Michael Roberts
