Illegal Petes Restaurant Asked to Change Name
Three weeks shy of opening his newest Illegal Pete’s in Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado, restaurant owner Pete Turner came to town Wednesday to listen to a crowd of offended residents who asked that he change his business’ name. The Boulder-based restaurant with six locations in Boulder and Denver is modeled after Mexican food from San Francisco’s Mission District, specifically over-sized burritos. The name Illegal Pete’s, Turner claimed, is a literary reference to a bar in a novel he read as an English major in Boulder.
Compound in Cocoa May Reverse Memory Loss
A new study suggests that a natural compound found in cocoa can reverse age-related memory loss. Unfortunately this compound is often removed during the processing of cocoa that is used in chocolate consumed by individuals as desserts. The compound was also found to be present in some teas and vegetables. The exact amount of compound necessary to have an effect is not known at this time. The study used an amount range of 10 mg to 900 mg a day. The study was done with a specially made cocoa flavanol drink developed by Mars who also subsidized the study.
