Here in Denver, 8 Rivers Cafe owner Wanda James is getting lambasted by Yelpers who don’t take kindly to her calling out Yelp for its questionable filter algorithm. And while she insists that she has no problem with the reviews — and, therefore, no beef with the Yelpers themselves –…

Snow’s in the forecast for the last day of April, and because that’s the worst kind of weather for an outdoor bash devoted to street food and booze, the Food Truck Warriors — a group that includes Street Eats, the Crock Spot, Biscuit Bus, Steuben’s, Max Lunch, Brava Pizzeria, Stick…

Suspicious that Yelp was filtering reviews of 8 Rivers Cafe just because she and her husband, Scott Durrah, didn’t advertise, Wanda James took her grievances to the Yelp discussion board. That’s where she started a thread called “Yelp is fake and is destroying businesses that don’t advertise with them.” In…

Vicente Domingo closed the doors on his young restaurant, Viejo Domingo, in March, saying he was taking a break and that he’d be back in May. And indeed, there’s activity in that location again — but we’re not entirely sure Domingo is behind it. Caminito Tango Restaurant is taking over…

What are the best cocktail bars in America? Well, according to Travel + Leisure, Brooklyn’s Clover Club, New Orleans’s Cure … and Denver’s Green Russell, among a handful of others. In celebration of the “golden age of cocktails” currently upon us, the magazine rounded up ten spots making a splash…

Hungry for a taste of true Spanish tapas, which I’d enjoyed so much on the Iberian peninsula, I hurried to Tapas de España, which recently opened in El Señor Sol, a Mexican restaurant that occupies the Victorian building that was once the Zang Brewing Company. There’s actually no distinction between…

Chipotle Mexican Grill, our homegrown burrito chain, is about to make the big leagues: It will replace Novell in the S&P 500 sometime soon. But amid last week’s celebrations over that milestone came less happy news: The company is now under criminal investigation by the U.S. government, which is trying…

Walk-In Burgers opened on the edge of Sloan’s Lake in February 2010, at the height of the city’s gourmet-burger craze: It was one of four such concepts to open that month alone. But now, just over a year later, the place is closed, with the furniture stacked inside, the signs…

A couple of weeks back, I was feeling particularly nostalgic for the Iberian peninsula, where I once wandered winding streets, ambling from tapas bar to tapas bar until I’d eaten enough to make a full dinner. It was a perfect way to dine — and a perfect way to taste…

It may not feel like it today, but warm weather is just around the corner, ready to lure us out for nights of patio drinking. We’re so excited we can’t stand it. And here’s another reason to get psyched about hitting the deck: The Four Seasons is opening Level 3,…

When Trudy Gonzalez opened 5th Sun Cafe & Lounge on Speer and Federal Boulevards this winter, she had all the pieces for the cafe part of her name: an espresso machine and a bevy of breakfast and lunch items. But “lounge” was a misnomer because she didn’t have a liquor…

“The husband-and-wife team that owns the place spent a few years in northern Spain,” my server explained when I asked her about the dishes at Ondo’s, the last restaurant Jason Sheehan reviewed before leaving Denver. “Obviously, you’re going to have twists sneak in anywhere, but they really try to adhere…

Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, crowds convened at Mona’s on South Broadway after having received an e-mail just hours earlier revealing where they were supposed to meet. They were greeted with a torrontes white wine, and they introduced themselves to one another. And once a sizable group had filled the…

I was out in Stapleton last night when I found myself with a late-night craving for pupusas, the El Salvadoran staple that looks like a fat corn tortilla stuffed with cheese, pork or vegetables. And since it wasn’t practical to drive up to Boulder to Pupusas Sabor Hispano, our pick…

Almost two months after Jorge Pingarron first told Cafe Society that he was opening a “Mexican, but not Mexican” restaurant on South Broadway, the native of Acapulco has made good on his word: El Olvido opened last night with a fiesta, and when we stopped by today, there wasn’t a…
