Eating weeds
I don’t want to think too hard about the fact that I went to a farmers market and paid for weeds. But I did. I noticed some lamb’s-quarters for sale at the Morningside Farmers Market. I remember foraging for these edible wild plants along the banks of a ravine near our house in Denver when we lived there. See the Food and More blog to learn how I prepared them.

‘SOMM’ documentary
Have you thanked your restaurant sommelier lately? You will — right after you watch “SOMM,” the new documentary about the Court of Master Sommeliers and the rigorous exam to become a Master Sommelier. The film trails Master Somm candidates as they prepare with the intensity of those studying law or medicine. “SOMM” is available for rent on iTunes.

Bankruptcies
The entities that control Joe’s on Juniper, Einstein’s, Garrison’s Broiler & Tap, Sugar Shack and Metrotainment Bakery filed for Chapter 11 on June 13. This comes in the wake of a judgment ordering the companies to repay more than $2.1 million in defaulted loan payments, accrued interest, late charges and attorney’s fees. Currently, there are no plans to close any of the restaurants included in the filing.
