Oh, I've got a great hole-in-the-wall in Denver I'd like to point you
to. My memory of where it is is a little hazy but maybe I can get you
there........let's see, it's called dayight Donuts, and it's off of
I-70 in Golden. There's an exit where I always stay when I come into
town for shows at Red Rocks.......there's a Sleep Inn and a fairfield
Inn and a steakhouse, all together, plus what used to be an IHOP but is
something else now. Right next to that is a little shopping center with
the Donut place i it; They have WONDERFUL middle eastern food----
felafel, babaghnoush, lentil soup, gyros - and the feta cheese is
handmade by the owner's wife! Great donuts, too.

Our joke is that we call it All Quaida Donuts, becasue last time we
were there (last summer), we went in two dys in a row. First day the
guy (Arab guy) was really friendly, etc. Second day, we came in and
yelled into the back, "See? Toldya we'd be back again today!" He
laughed and said he'd be right with us.....well, while we waited, we
listened to the Middle Eastern music he was playing, and our eye was
caught by his computer. He was watching Al-Jezeira (sp?) network! As
soon as he came into the room and noticed us staring at his monitor,
off went the music, off went the computer, on went the radio of
American pop hits. While we were eating, 3 Midlle Eastern guys came in
and they all huddled and whispered in the corner, pointedly looking
over their shoulder at us as we ate..........we weren't sure if many
folks like us come through their shop.

But to this day, it's the best Feta cheese I've ever eaten!

ps, not in any way trying to racial profile I hope the humor of the
situation came through. It was definitely weird, though!
