Just as I thought there could not be a bigger news story in Denver today than how cold it was… BOOM! Casa Bonita is reopening!

The popular Colorado restaurant, which has been closed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, announced Thursday that it will reopen in May.

You may remember that the creators of South Park bought the restaurant, which appears in an episode of their Colorado-based cartoon. Then they announced James Beard Award-nominated chef Dana Rodriguez would take over as head chef.

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey parker announced the reopening in a video they posted on YouTube…
