It makes me smile that the Hazzards are Food Machines. True Foodies. It's no secret the love of food is passed down within the ranks of a family. I am from a family of great cooks and it began with my Mom. My 8 brothers can all cook, some better then others, some are sensational cook's, and some are in the Food Industry. My two sisters are also Wiz's in the kitchen, and our eyes roll back in our head over great deserts! We all pay homage to great food and fabulous cooks. Praising verbally and always in multiple statements how much we are enjoying the food.
This Hazzard Clan of mine loves to call or text one another and discuss in length the next recipe they are creating,or one in which they just simply consumed. Elaborating about the colors, the flavors, the textures, the deliciousness, how we wish we could have shared it together that very moment. We are always planning our next food encounter. Often that planning stage takes place while we are still enjoying a meal! Yeah, we are Foodies with a capital F. Savoring every delicious morsel, analyzing what secret spice we think is in a particular dish we have tried. We are like Kitchen Scientist.. trying the tasting formula over and over again, until we have the ingredients figured out.
So you see it should come as no surprise to you that our vacations require intense planning around places to eat. And that my friends is where King's Chef Diner comes in to play - located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It's an eclectic joint with great energy and fun Servers and Cooks. Phenomenal food! Huge portions, all served with their home made Green Chile Sauce on the side, or heaps of fresh jalapeno slices. Reasonable prices, and a Clean Your Plate Club Sticker when you finished every bite. That honor went to my husband the skinniest guy in our group! This 6ft.'3, 184 lb guy finished his plate of a giant Reuben sandwich stacked 5 inches high layered with fresh jalapeno's and a side of home fries. He then methodically finished my other 1/2 of sandwich which was Corned Beef and Swiss with mustard and jalapeno's on rye bread plus fresh sliced fries. He ate it all, each bite better then the first. But the piece de' resistance went to my daughter Kates meal, which consisted of the juiciest 14 oz. hand cut sirloin steak I ever tasted, plus two eggs, homemade hash browns and Texas Toast. The price tag on this magnificent Mama Jama was $13.95. 
The surprising moment of this days Brunch went to my son Jonathan who ordered the 1/2 lb. custom burger of angus beef with bacon, cheese onion and smothered in a giant layer of jalapeno's. This was a mountain of delicous-ness that made you wonder how anyone could wrap their mouth around such a tall bite. the burger was cooked to perfection of medium rare just juicy and dripping wonderful-ness!!
Let me NOT forget the sinfully creamy, cheesy-cheese fries. Each fry was the perfect crisp bite on the outside, soft potato on the inside and each one dripping in melted cheddar Talk about delicious. If you ever find yourself in Colorado Springs you must stop by for a full delicious belly of food from King's Chef Diner!
So my friends when in Colorado Spring be sure to put Kings Chef Diner on your To Do List. We did and so did Food Network. We are all in agreement you won't find a better breakfast or lunch anywhere..bring your BIG pants, you're gonna need em!!
