Marty Meitus's longtime job as food editor disappeared with the Rocky Mountain News last February.

Meitus's idea was to create a place where WIC clients could sample foods, almost as if they were at a Costco or a Sam's Club, while visiting one of the Tri-County Health Department facilities in Aurora. And with the help of a grant, last fall she created the Tasting Cafe.
