Part one of my chef interview with Josh Barhaug, who mans the line -- and pizza oven -- at Fired Up, ran yesterday; this is part two of our chat.

What you'd like to see more of in Denver/Boulder from a culinary standpoint: People coming together, trying new things and putting Denver on the map as more of a foodie destination. We all need to work together to achieve this; we all need to be on common ground. Stop all the bullshitting, so food warriors like Anthony Bourdain don't think we're a joke when it comes to food. I mean, effin' Minneapolis beats us out as a better food destination. What more can I say? Love you, Minnesota. But -- really?
