Theo Adley, the subject of this week's Chef and Tell interview, is getting rave reviews both for his food at The Pinyon -- and for his comments.

Says AmyDenver:

One of my all-time favorite Chef and Tell comments: "Shut up, all of you, especially you, Thomas Keller, you blabbermouth. Oh...and call me." I can't wait to check out Pinyon.

And then there's this from CTF:

Being from the Bay Area and Los Angeles and having spent a fair amount of time eating my way around NY and in Europe and Asia, I'd have to agree that while Boulder may well be the "foodiest town" for a city of 150k people or less, it really does need to kick it up a notch when it comes to risk taking and innovation. Seems like people here like to eat what they know. (And every time I've said this out loud, I've felt like such a snobby bitch...but, dammit, it's true!) Which makes for some pretty yawn-inducing food overall. And BTW, why do people eat so early here??? Love Pinyon and what you're doing. Keep it up!
