July 10th, Chick-fil-A will be having a Cow Appreciation Day to try to get people to eat more chicken. Honestly, I couldn’t think of a better way to appreciate a cow than by eating it, kind of like how in the movies some Native Americans would eat the heart of a warrior they just killed to show their appreciation. But I digress. In Chick-fil-A’s case, all you have to do for Cow Appreciation Day is show up to one of their restaurants dressed up as a cow. If you do, they’ll give you a free meal of chicken, which I hear can be quite tasty.

As a result, Andy Puzder (the CEO) came on the show to talk with Cramer about his company, their burgers and, most importantly, their sexy ads with Padma Lakshmi and Paris Hilton. In the end, Cramer tried one of their burgers and loved it.
Looks like I’m not the only one who enjoys a burger from Carl’s Jr.
Beer Me Some Breckenridge Agave Wheat
The taste of skiing?
Colorado is definitely a beer state, and not just because Coors comes from the Rocky Mountain State. No, it is also home to New Belgium (of Fat Tire fame) and seemingly countless other micro and craft breweries. While in Breckenridge for a ski weekend, I decided I had to at least try one of these, and because it turned out to be the only one available at dinner, my choice happened to come from the creatively named Breckenridge Brewery. The brewery, by the way, is actually no longer in Breckenridge, having expanded and moved to Denver in 1992.
