Elevating Tex-Mex Takeout: Fajita Pete’s Opens in Denver
Fajita Pete's, an emerging national concept specializing in Tex-Mex takeout and delivery, celebrated the landmark August opening of their first Colorado location.
The restaurant opened in Centennial, a suburb in the southeast Denver area with mountain views and a growing demand for restaurant variety.
Keith Graham, Denver food blogger of @gourmand_guide explains that despite a robust restaurant scene, Denver is home to "a lot of the same offerings."
"This is Tex-Mex like you've never seen it," hints franchising team Hugh and Rebekah Guill. Longtime champions of the Colorado expansion, the Guills are already working on their second Colorado location with plans for a total of five in the next four years.
"The Denver area has a great and established food scene, but Rebekah and I recognized that quality, convenient, and affordable Tex-Mex options were hard to find," shares Hugh.
Fajita Pete's began in 2008 as a single restaurant in the Tex-Mex mecca of Houston, Texas, with a key differentiator—almost no dine-in.
"When we started Fajita Pete's, we took a risk by going all-in on two things that mattered to our guests," says Pedro "Pete" Mora, founder of Fajita Pete's. "We went all-in on quality, and we went all-in on convenience."
By dedicating almost all of the restaurant's footprint to the kitchen, Fajita Pete's has been able to maintain its high-quality handmade recipes and affordable pricing for over a decade, growing to 30 locations with wheels in motion for over 100 in the next five years.
"Speaking as a mom of two myself, it's fun to eat out at a restaurant when you have the time," says Rebekah, "but Fajita Pete's is about making it easy to start delicious, fun, nightly traditions right at your own table."
Hugh adds, "Fajitas are the best solution for groups. Whether you're a busy family or a busy office, with a few taps on an app, you can gather everyone around a full spread of fajitas and handmade sides."
Even without any traditional dine-in seating, the growing buzz for Fajita Pete's - Centennial is undeniable, already boasting rave reviews and an impressive 4.8 star Google rating.
"My wife and daughter came in the Friday before they officially opened," one reviewer shares. "I had the steak and chicken leftovers the following day and I don't say this lightly, but they were the BEST fajitas I have ever had the pleasure of eating in my life, and they were leftover."
"BEST fajitas in the Denver area!" says another reviewer.
"We love the feedback, both good and constructive," says Hugh. "We won't stop until we are the go-to, to-go option for families craving quality and affordable food, and the go-to catering option for Denver businesses."
Despite today's tight labor markets and rising costs of goods, the Guills believe that Fajita Pete's is strong enough at its core to overcome the challenges of bringing a new brand to the market.
"We just focus on what we can control: making every plate the best meal that customer will have that day," says Hugh. "If we do that well, one fajita at a time, then the rest will fall into place."

French Artist Julien Durix Launches His Genesis NFT Collection ‘Like a Brush’
Paris, France - August 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Durix is a popular artist within contemporary art circles, and his works have been displayed in some of the most renowned art locations in the world. This includes showings in iconic cities like New York, Monaco, Paris, Miami, and Singapore. He's released over 500 highly rated works and is presently one of the most preeminent contemporary artists of his generation. Today, Durix stands tall amongst other contemporary artists as he is not only breaking new barriers within his field, but he's also blazing new trails in new and unfamiliar territory. That is exactly what his NFT collection is all about.
Durix's new NFT collection "Like A Brush" is a collection which will be deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. The works will represent 3D brushes that are inspired by his original sculptures along designs and characters from the universe of his works. The collection will be introducing a new and unique style to the world of NFTs. The collection will bridge the gap between physical and digital art.
"Like A Brush" NFT drop is very innovative. It introduces a dynamic burn mechanism to the collection. Upon three burn windows, holders will be given the choice to burn their NFT in exchange for a physical artwork of Durix. The innovative aspect of this is that the value of the physical artwork you can redeem by burning will be different at every window.
"Entering web3 as an artist is a very exciting journey for me. Being a contemporary artist creating physical art, bridging the gap between physical and digital art is a major milestone I want to achieve with my art.
I collaborated with with the most successful French basketball player of all time in the NBA and future hall of famer, Tony Parker.
111 unique NFTs will be created together with him and the profits generated by the sale of these will be entirely donated to his charity." - Durix said when asked about the idea behind the collection and what influenced it.
This NFT collection is certain to send heat waves all across the NFT community and the world of contemporary art. The collection is, in a way, a crystallization of the two forms of art. Durix plans for it to be a memento of what can happen when web3 and contemporary art come together to create artistic value.
Today, Durix's physical artworks are extremely valuable pieces, with many going for over $50,000. If you regret not purchasing his art when it was cheaper, then you might have the opportunity to rectify that with this new collection. The mint date is yet to be announced.

WyoTech Highlights Programs Supporting the Next Generation of Trade Instructors
WyoTech, a leading automotive, diesel, and collision trade school in the United States, continues to prepare trade school instructors with its programs. Through its quarterly instructor visitation and annual summer seminar programs, WyoTech is actively closing the training gap that has caused the lack of trade-focused courses in high school curriculums across the country.
Traditionally, aspiring teachers will pursue college degrees and obtain certifications to teach subjects such as English, mathematics, history, and science, among others. Because there are so few formal training programs for trade-based concepts, very few high schools can find teachers who can teach courses that cover concepts related to the automotive, diesel, and collision and refinishing industries.
In an effort to enhance trade education across the country and increase student exposure to new career paths, WyoTech is offering 100% paid-in-full supplemental training programs. These programs can help administrators learn how to implement trade-focused courses into existing curriculums and provide teachers with the latest industry trends, standards, and updates that can be brought back to students in the classroom. WyoTech covers the majority of costs related to travel, stipends, and hotel accommodations.
Today, the future still looks bleak for most high schools in the U.S. In July 2022, the New York Times reported that a Manhattan judge put a hold on more than $200 million of cuts that would impact roughly 1,200 city public schools. Outraged parents have begun suing the district over the proposed budget slashing that would be extremely detrimental to the quality of education in the five boroughs if they were to go into effect.
"The value trade and vocational education programs have on a student cannot be underestimated," said WyoTech president Jim Mathis. "We at WyoTech want to do our part to keep trade programs in high schools, and to do so, instructors need to be armed with the best possible programs and education."

Hope Church Movement’s 11th Annual Survivor Weekend Helps College Students Have Fun and Make...
As another academic year approaches, Hope Church Movement is determined to help the incoming freshmen class successfully bridge the gap between high school and college. The Class of 2026 includes Gen Z, which is the generation born after 1997. Hope Church Movement is hosting its 11th annual Survivor Weekend over Labor Day Weekend, where college students across the Southwest form Tribes, or teams, and experience a weekend of music, camping, and competition.
Pastor Brian and Wendy Smith, Founders of Survivor Weekend and Hope Church Movement, said it was their individual college experiences that inspired them to start this event in 2011. While it is hosted by Hope Church Movement, the event is not religious in nature and welcomes students of all beliefs.
"Many of us forget about our freshman year and the insecurities we had," said Pastor Brian Smith, who is also the founder of the Campus Changer Network. "Our hope is to give students an amazing experience and provide an opportunity to build authentic friendships. If they want to check out church later on, that's fine, and if they don't, that's fine too! We just want them to know that Hope Church wants to see them be successful as new college students."
One student, Shawn Romo, was impacted by Survivor Weekend his freshman year, and he was part of the planning committee before his sudden passing in 2016. His idea to award the winning Tribe a trophy was honored and named the Romo Cup in remembrance of him. His parents have presented the winning Tribe the Romo Cup the last four events.
"Survivor was this huge stepping stone that started him on his college journey," said Jill Romo, Shawn's mother. "I'm just really proud of the man he became."
Young people are more likely than previous generations to battle mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression and loneliness. In fact, one in four Gen Z is anxious, according to a 2020 report by the Barna Group. Research shows when college students have a sense of belonging, it can lead to a reduction in depression, loneliness, hopelessness and social anxiety.
Survivor Weekend is designed to help students build friendships within their Tribes, which are based on college campuses or majors. In addition to the competition, students hear an inspirational talk by Pastor Brian Smith on how to leave a legacy in college.
