The Melt Arrives in Littleton; Lucky Pie Helps Vail Veterans

Things are about to get cheesy in Littleton as The Melt, a cheese-centric group of fast-casual eateries based in San Francisco, opens at Southwest Plaza in Littleton. The eatery is committed to bringing all-natural, cheesy comfort food, free of artificial ingredients or additives. The menu includes comfort foods like grilled cheeses, melty cheeseburgers, and housemade mac ‘n' cheese, along with fries, soups, salads and desserts. Guests who mention the code "Say Cheese Littleton!" at the door on Sunday, Dec. 20, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. will get a free meal (Melt + side + fountain drink).

Fans of chef Noah French and his fabulous sweet creations will have to travel to Orlando, Florida to enjoy his work. The former co-owner and pastry chef of RiNo's Sugarmill accepted a position at a new pastry boutique concept that will be opening at Disney World in the spring. French will start working there early in January.
