Sep 16, 2009 (The Gazette - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- BUSRF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- No sooner had I written about the marvelously delicious Italian cheese, burrata, in my Sept. 1 Food column than I spotted it on the new fall menu at The Blue Star, 1645 S. Tejon St.

The Blue Star Caprese Stack ($7) salad sports two thick slices of tomato with slices of the creamy cheese between them. The dish is topped with white balsamic gastrique and ribbons of fresh basil.

You can also order the cheese from a cheese-tray lineup for $5 per ounce. It made for a tasty dessert with the extra sweet champagne grapes served alongside.

Borriello explosion

From one little takeout place in downtown Colorado Springs in 1999, Borriello Brothers NY Pizza has expanded to five locations and now plans to open two more.

The thin-crust pizza place will soon take over two Rotelli locations: 15910 Jackson Creek Parkway and 3240 Centennial Blvd.

Road trip

There are still a couple of weekends to head to Canon City for some river-rafting fun. Kick off the adventure or wind down at White Water Bar & Grill, 45045 W. U.S. Highway 50 (eight miles west of Canon City).

Burgers made with Colorado-raised beef are the signature dish. Especially good was the Slopper Burger ($9.99), an open-faced burger smothered in green chili.

New eatery

La Mission, 7634 McLaughlin Road in Falcon, has replaced the former Ciao Bella. Expect to find Mexican food dishes such as grilled pork and avocado burritos and carnitas burritos. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Call 495-7052.
