It's National Hamburger Month, and Denver-based Red Robin is celebrating with a "Who's Your Burger Daddy?" social campaign, encouraging customers to ask friends and family on Facebook or Twitter to be their "Burger Daddy," and entering those who participate in a sweepstakes to win free Red Robin burgers for a year (twelve $30 gift cards).

To push the promotion, Red Robin CEO Steve Carley will be at the store at 6790 South Cornerstar Way in Aurora today, passing out $100 gift cards to unsuspecting (unless they've read this) patrons.

Boulder Farmers' Market, week five: Bees and rhubarb

Sweet and sour: Try rhubarb with honey.

Tim Brod of Highland Honey Bees sells creamed honey and herb-infused honey intended to promote health, as well as queen bees and bee packages to would-be apiarists and pollination services for local organic farms. And -- as I learn on my Saturday morning visit to the Boulder Farmers' Market -- he is evangelical about bees and honey.

On the table in front of him, along with jars of honey, there's a plexiglass-fronted box filled with the fuzzy, crawling insects. He and his partner, Dean Chapla, hand out samples as curious people mill around the stand: new bee keepers asking for advice, people wanting to taste samples, children gazing in fascination at the living bee exhibit. And Brod holds forth, energetic, enthusiastic and unstinting. All the honey Highland sells comes from its apiaries, he says, and is subtly flavored by weather patterns, soil conditions and nectar sources -- in other words, by what foodies like to call "terroir" when they're speaking of wine or cheese. The hives are moved frequently to "take advantage of timely and diverse nectar flows," he says. "This is not monoculture honey."
