LONGMONT — To improve on hummus, an ancient Middle Eastern food, Ryan Weilert surfed the Internet.

"For the sweet potato hummus, the goal was to create a flavor that tasted like Thanksgiving," Weilert, 24, said.
The popularity of guacamole as a leading dip in the United States, along with his history of growing up near San Diego by avocado groves, inspired the other specialty recipe, he said.
