The owner of an Italian restaurant in New Mexico says he’s seen a surge in business after posting a billboard that featured a food-centric pun playing off the Black Lives Matter slogan.

Rick Camuglia, owner of Paisano’s in Albuquerque, posted what he thought would be a well-received joke on the marquee sign in front of his restaurant last week. It read:

"BLACK OLIVES MATTER — TRY OUR TAPENADE."

Burger Boy in Cedar Crest... 1 location worldwide and worth the drive.

Ah, yes, good food there.

A year ago I had a chance to 'just go drive around' the Caldera before it was turned over to the Park Service. 89,000 acres of heavenly beauty. Some scenes from Longmire have the hero standing on the porch of his log cabin, with the view through the porch railing. I wish I'd seen Longmire before that day - I could've gotten my own shot from the same porch. :(

View from in front of the cabin, looking back the way we came:

I make a killer tapenade, but it also includes...
“green-olives matter”
as well as “green-tomatoes matter”

Sorry, my-bad?

I did not know Longmire was filmed in New Mexico. Cool.
