“This is pretty cool, I’ll tell you — national TV for Longmont,” said an excited Tracy Webb, whose restaurant, The Rib House, was about to be filmed for the Travel Channel’s “Official Best Of” program.
Webb and his wife, Merry Ann, opened The Rib House 10 years ago this July, and they’ve received much recognition, both local and national, over the years.
But the Travel Channel’s program will feature his restaurant alongside such Colorado luminaries as The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs and Celestial Seasonings in Boulder.
Billy Butler, associate producer for “Official Best Of,” contacted The Rib House about seven weeks ago, Webb said. It happened to be a Monday, a day he and his wife had off, but his manager on duty took the call and Webb returned Butler’s call immediately, he said.
