Heads up, you unfaithful bums. Joey Greco is coming to town.He’s the host of “Cheaters,” the tawdry tabloid TV series that catches men and women cheating on their sig others. Oh, it’s great TV.
I used to watch it religiously on KTVD – but it was dropped. It plays in other markets, watched by more than 5 million each week. Lucky viewers in Grand Junction can catch it on Sunday nights on KKCO.
Greco is in Colorado on Oct. 13 for the closing dinner at the Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado’s Wild, Wild West Training Conference. It’s a gathering of PIs in Cripple Creek to hone their snoop skills.
Greco goes out and confronts the unfaithful every week. The show is now in its seventh season. Greco was famously stabbed in one episode, which was ranked No.2 by the E network’s “101 Craziest TV Moments” special. This Colorado appearance is his first speaking engagement.
So if you’re cheating in Cripple Creek in October and you see Greco coming at you, no sweat. He’s just there for the banquet.
Triumph of the bar
Local writer J.R. Moehringer got a shout- out from the NY Times Book Review on Sunday – a look at his memoir “The Tender Bar” and why it’s such a big hit in Germany.
The book was a stateside smash, spending weeks on the Times hardcover and paperback lists. But the Germans love it. It’s living large as No.3 on Der Spiegel’s best- seller list. Moehringer has just returned to Denver from his second German book tour.
So why do the Germans crave “The Tender Bar”? Moehringer tells the Times it’s a matter of marketing, timing, his German-sounding name – and finally beer. “The answer to most of the questions in my book is: beer,” he tells the Times. “You often get the same answer in Germany, and this is a country that definitely loves its beer.”
Everyone’s a critic
Denver has a new restaurant critic. She’s Lili Bjorklund, daughter of restaurateur Adde Bjorklund and Halle Hessami. Lili is an eighth-grader at Graland Country Day and writes foodie reviews for “The G” student newspaper. Her positive reviews of Andre’s, Crepes ‘n’ Crepes and Chedd’s got people talking – but her recent pan of La Sandia caught the attention of Westword, which printed the same kind of pan a few weeks later and posted Lili’s screed online.
Dawn
Longtime society scribbler Dawn Denzer is saying goodbye.
I saw her Sunday at Shalom Park, where they don’t expect her to live out the week. A great friend to many, a kind soul, a character. We’ll miss you, Dawn.
