Jasmine Listou has been turning out mini donuts to crowds all over Denver from a conveyor belt contraption housed in a trailer painted turquoise. Now, she’s taking her mobile act to a permanent shop in the mountains. Listou just signed a lease on a Copper Mountain outlet, where she’ll open…

For those of you who can’t fathom patronizing a pizza joint that doesn’t bring the goods right to your door, a new world is about to open up: the Wazee Supper Club, 1600 15th Street, is rolling out delivery. There are some restrictions, though…

After eating my way through the menu at Euclid Hall for this week’s review, I stopped by Rioja, the Larimer Square restaurant that Jen Jasinski and Beth Gruitch opened six years ago, and also by Bistro Vendome, the restaurant at 1420 Larimer Street that the pair took over in 2006…

It seems about as premature as the holiday commercial that annoyingly awoke me from deep slumber this morning, but 2010 must be drawing to a close, because consultants across the country are racing to call the big food trends of 2011. Last week, Andrew Freeman & Co., a nationwide hospitality…

Six weeks ago, Boulder’s Frasca Food & Wine, 1738 Pearl Street, closed its doors for a complete remodel of its space, undertaken in order to expand the dining room of the flagship and add two new restaurants to the family: Pizzeria Locale, featuring wood-fired Napolitano pizzas, and Caffè, a grab-and-go…

After falling in love with Euclid Hall, I decided it was time to return to Rioja: Jen Jasinski and Beth Gruitch’s first restaurant, the place where I sometimes take out-of-town guests but rarely go to otherwise. Still, this Larimer Square spot has been packed since the moment it opened six…

I am a simple woman. My heart can be won by various forms of carbohydrates, meat and fat, combined in excess and presented in one glorious dish. So it took just one look at the folded paper menu on my table at Euclid Hall to stir my interest. The restaurant,…

Euclid Hall, 1317 14th Street, the third restaurant within one block for partners Jennifer Jasinski and Beth Gruitch, who also own Rioja and Bistro Vendome, was one of the hottest openings of the summer. The crowds packed into the beautifully refurbished space that most recently held the grimy Martini Ranch…

A couple of weeks ago, when I reviewed Big Bill’s New York Pizza, I also made a trip to Lil’ Ricci’s at 5332 DTC Boulevard, a link in the local chain of pizzerias where Bill Ficke got his start before opening his own Lil’ Ricci’s outpost, which eventually became Big…

Back in September, Satchel’s Market, a five-year-old market-cum-restaurant in North Park Hill, served its last dinner and shuttered after it was unable to overcome problems with the lease of its space. Owners Andrew Casalini and Jen Dactano wouldn’t be gone for long, though. They were already planning on opening Satchel’s…

Finding a good restaurant to take a date or meet a group of friends or plan a corporate dinner might be easy enough, but it’s another challenge entirely when you’re looking for a venue to accommodate a massive crowd. Especially if you want to do it the economical way –…

Bob’s Sandwich Shop, 820 Main Street in downtown Louisville, has served the community breakfast, subs and sandwiches for a few years now. But it’s time for a remodel — and a new name. “Closed for repairs” often means a place has bit the dust, never to return, but there are…

Good news: the Justice League of Street Food is back with another bash. The crew, which includes the Little Orange Rocket, the Inventing Room, Sully’s Slice Truck, the Cupcake Truck, Biker Jim’s, Steuben’s, the Biscuit Bus, Pinche Tacos, Steamin’ Demon and the Gastro Cart, will be setting up on Thursday,…

This year, restaurateurs nationwide surprised us by naming gardens, not food trucks, the number one trend in a poll by the National Restaurant Association. That call is testament to how firmly the locavore movement has taken hold, which is further evidenced by the national recognition several Denver restaurants received for…

Earlier this week, we found ourselves with a strong craving for Thai green curry — and nowhere in our immediate vicinity to feed the beast. Rather than settling for a sickeningly sweet but otherwise boring version that’s considered passable on many Thai menus, we jumped in our cars and headed…
