You're listening to Joe and the 7 One Dine podcast.
Speaker 2:Yes, this is Joe and this is the 7 One Dine podcast. The other day I had a revelation, and that revelation was some people are introduced to 7 One Dine via myself, via friends or family. Maybe it's the folks that I've interviewed that are sharing it with their friends. Maybe they are just happening upon the 7 One Dine website.
Speaker 1:Visit us online at 7onedinecom.
Speaker 2:So I thought to myself what if somebody is being introduced to 7 One Dine through the 7 One Dine podcast? That's right. So I brought in my friend Corbin. That's not his real name. We call him Corbin because in college he burned off his eyebrows and part of his mustache by basically not understanding how to operate a Bunsen burner. So we call him Corbin, Corbin, Brunson If you add burn and Bunsen if you get Brunson. You'll figure it out later, Maybe who. I asked Corbin to come in and explain the mission of 7 One Dine, why we are here, and to help reiterate that 7 One Dine is not a review site.
Speaker 3:The mission of 7 One Dine is to become the ultimate gateway to the heart and soul of Southern Colorado's imagery and its culinary landscape. Through our platform, we aim to showcase the diverse flavors, traditions and rich heritage that define this remarkable corner of the world. 7 One Dine is not a review site, which means there are no negative reviews. The focus is on highlighting the positive aspects of the restaurants we feature and celebrating the stories behind them.
Speaker 2:Hey, not too shabby for your first time out. My friend and everybody seemed to like it. Well done, Well done. On to the episode. This first segment is a recording that took place during a poker game at my Brother in Laws. At this poker game, I showed up with wings from flightyfoul and I just basically recorded the reactions. By the way, I debated mentioning this. I went back and forth for quite a while. I ultimately decided to mention it. These have to be, without a doubt, without question, the most shuffled cards in the history of poker. I met the guy. I mean, the website is just. The podcast is just exploding.
Speaker 4:They were really nice today. They were really happy.
Speaker 2:They were having their food truck down off of Monterey. They were down there. Was that where you went? No, they were at Brayden Park August. What?
Speaker 4:It's from Chicken Wings. 18th.
Speaker 2:18th On September 17th on PG, that's when you're the winner September 28th, peach is the winner.
Speaker 1:No, no, that's the first one. That is the winner. I didn't like it. It's kind of nuts.
Speaker 2:Oh, it took you all that time to just get through the first one? Did you get the habanero one? Yeah, yeah, I was kind of afraid because I was like I like habanero flavor, but I don't like it when it's just ass. Hot yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4:I had it before.
Speaker 2:It wasn't like just hot, but it was it was good.
Speaker 4:Where'd you play To the ride of the scene?
Speaker 2:I haven't had the Korean barbecue or the sesame, the Korean barbecue salad is really good.
Speaker 4:My favorite was this one. Which one was this? Not the peanut, not the sesame. Oh yeah, I added this on Um good job, pb and jam.
Speaker 2:Oh, the PB jammin'.
Speaker 3:Yeah that's that one Pee-kawker. Oh, the pollo asada. Yes, oh yeah, it kind of tastes like beef what? It kind of tastes like beef what. That's good.
Speaker 4:Oh, I mean, these are good Far-chopped. Yeah, it's a good place and it's good people. Yeah, they seem really nice. It's husband and wife, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they were both there when I was there at lunch, so, yeah, john could make a mess. Get a napkin. I totally am gonna need a napkin. A napkin doesn't even I even loaded extra paper towels because I knew he was crying. I want two sauces.
Speaker 2:Which one did you try first? The Korean.
Speaker 4:That was the sesame.
Speaker 2:The sesame.
Speaker 4:Yeah. That was good. The sesame's kind of sweet. That's cool. Yeah, the pollo ones are really good. It tastes kind of like beef, what? That's not the first annual Colorado Springs Bestie with a spring spice Three.
Speaker 1:What's your start, junior? You're clean-handed. Actually, I might be a minute before I can touch any cards.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Ooh, those peach ones are a little spicy. They're really good. It's after you eat it. Spicy, right, I like spicy stuff, all right.
Speaker 2:Try the peanut. Okay, so, victor, did you get another hubbun arrow, or just the two?
Speaker 1:cream buffalo and a uh an asses the.
Speaker 2:Korean. I think it's a Korean buffalo, whatever they call it. So now those are. You're liking those?
Speaker 4:yeah, the Korean buffalo is good but you still have the hot.
Speaker 1:It's got the right flavor for the amount of spice it has, which is which is good, because usually a spicy spicy doesn't mean better oh, spicy doesn't mean it's spicy but it's got a good flavor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's good. It's awesome that now you're eating them in a different order than you did earlier.
Speaker 1:I didn't try the peanut ones. I want to try those separately so I don't get a.
Speaker 4:Uh, oh, that's right. Yeah, that was my last one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there was no flavor, because I'm pretty sure everything else was heated up, burned up your tongue, yeah. So all right, so you tried them all yeah, yeah, my favorite was that peach.
Speaker 4:That was the first one I ate. That was really fantastic. That was good. The buffalo has a really good spice, it's good. The sesame is nice and sweet and flavorful. The pollo asada I would never think that a wing would taste like a, like meat, like beef yeah but the the peanut butter one was kind of not my, my favorite out of the drink.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I didn't eat that kind of close to the last, so after eating everything else, I made that one not a lot of flavor, so that we're talking about the law of diminishing returns. Now, yeah, I wouldn't eat the ate the peach. One first.
Speaker 4:I would have been able to taste all the other ones, because I'm not used to spice like at all. Right, you like the pieces? Yeah, it feels really good. That's my favorite, the peach by far. Yeah, is that like a peach? Is that a pecan arrow? Yeah, it's. It's a spice that only hits you after you're done eating but I like the fact that it's not. It doesn't burn your mouth, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've tasted wings buffalo's hotter yes, I've tasted wings. That all it tastes like is just all those fruits were hot and I swear I don't like no help yourself, it's gotta have good flavor.
Speaker 4:I don't like the bitter taste. I don't like bitter, your flavor.
Speaker 2:Yet I don't like it, no, I don't. Yeah, this one here is fun, the sesame one. Yeah, sesame one's really good. I like the pollo salad yeah and then the pollo salad was just, he's like, yeah, I take this wing and then I put it like on top and like some salsa verde and I'm like see, he said, he said I thought it tasted like a teacher.
Speaker 4:Oh, what?
Speaker 2:the which one?
Speaker 4:the pollo one, oh yeah it tastes like a real teacher. What I was like, all right so you try it so I gave the peanut butter jelly a second try on a clean palate, on a clean palate, and now there's flavor and it's significantly better than I expected yeah, that's my favorite wing and it is tasty. It's not my favorite because the mango jalapeno is still, or mango habanero is still, top-notch or peach habanero.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes out.
Speaker 4:Yeah, this is tasty. Now is it one green? Yeah, that one makes me happy it's good, but I'm glad you like, because I'm like you don't like that one we got a reset, it really it really had no flavor when I ate it, the first egg well, you ate all the hot ones, yeah check that's awesome yeah, are you dipping those? In ranch. Blue cheese, blue cheese, oh, I should get that to try.
Speaker 2:I think there's bacon in that one too. What, yeah, like peanut butter bacon? All right so you had the, the wings from flighty fowl. Do you remember the ones you had?
Speaker 4:uh had the polo something a sado.
Speaker 2:Okay, you like that one. Oh yeah, good stuff. Oh yeah, did you try any of the others?
Speaker 4:I tried all the other ones, but rubs are my thing, man so the poyo sado was your favorite.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you still like the other ones, but that one was way better, way better, way better. You're the man Tucker. Yep, that is my nephew Tucker, a wing connoisseur, and yes, that is his voice. You probably remember him from previous episodes where he has said seven ones dying one up.
Speaker 2:Next, you guessed it another poker game. This time, me and the guys are talking about bryermart, a fantastic, fantastic restaurant here in Colorado Springs. And again I debated whether bringing this up or not, but decided to. How many times do you hear chips being shuffled? Wow, how long have you been going to?

Speaker 2:How did you get introduced to Brian Martin?
Speaker 4:So, um God, like years ago, brian Martin was at a different location. Part of so it's not Brian Martin, it was Sean that I introduced him to, so we were just like friends for like 14, 15 years, and then I actually went to his restaurant a few times.
Speaker 2:And then yeah.
Speaker 4:The food's always good. He's like I tell him to expand.
Speaker 3:He doesn't want anything different.
Speaker 4:He doesn't want to expand, he doesn't want to get more customers, he likes to just like, do his food the way he likes.
Speaker 2:You know yeah that's the thing I used to consult with restaurants. Still do every now and then, but I tell them, I say hey, instead of having these cheesecake factory menus, just do what you do best and do it better than.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he's like, it's like almost like you know, talk to someone like like like they sit there and take to the side of the table.
Speaker 4:I change just one little thing. He's like why would I take that chance? So he's very like, particular in how he does everything. He doesn't cut corners. Sean has a photographic memory, Like I'll be honest with you, Like I went and brought Sean to a dealership. Remember when we went to the dealership Chloe, For that girl, Sid, yeah. We came back and I told Sean we were at the dealership. He's like, oh, I was like who was there? And he was like, oh, we met with the account finance and he's like that was the name of the person.
Speaker 3:He named the person's name out.
Speaker 2:And I was like you know the guy's like, oh, he came in here, like probably a little bit
Speaker 4:of like let's get a coffee and drive around the whole city. He's like you see this, this, and that You're faking it for this one, we're troubling behind the door.
Speaker 3:He knows everything. Who the?
Speaker 4:owners are where the hardships are, the oil is not perfect and stuff out of the restaurant. He's so particular.
Speaker 2:Free by G-Star going to Breier Mart.
Speaker 4:Because it was like that's a call.
Speaker 3:Two Middle Eastern restaurants in here when I was in the 90s.
Speaker 2:Will Will.
Speaker 4:And my dad used to go there to get bread. Oh yeah, and that was when Mo was running it. Sean was a child.
Speaker 2:Very last question what's your favorite thing there?
Speaker 4:Oh, I usually like I always get the same thing the kebab sandwich, because I don't like heroes as much as kebabs.
Speaker 2:But it's a kebab sandwich, so not kebabs. No, it's a kebab and they put it in a sandwich and they watch out for the sticks. They're really spicy. You know that's good advice for just about anything. So if you weren't entertained, at least you learned something. Whenever you are enjoying a meal, watch out for the sticks. Again, thank you to everyone who has been a part of this dream of mine becoming a reality. And, truth be told, like full disclosure. When I finally decided to go ahead and launch 7-1-Dine, first I was afraid, like I was petrified, but I no longer am, and that's because of you. And again, I can't thank you enough. One last thing before I sign off a very special thank you to all the restaurants who have contacted me. I am so looking forward to meeting you, hearing your story and ultimately sharing it with the community. That is the 7-1-9.
