Anyone can make a plate of spaghetti — but in this town, only Patsy’s Italian Inn has been serving plates of homemade Italian spaghetti for more than nine decades. That was back in the days when celebrities had to sing, dance and have talent to be famous, back before The…
If you want a Thai curry that’s mild, meek and devoid of any discernible heat (despite a plea for “Thai hot”), go here. This is a joint for uninitiated freshman — not graduating valedictorians. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to…
Businesses across the country are coming out with stances on gay marriage, including Chick-Fil-A and Lakewood’s own Masterpiece Cakeshop. The bakery does not create cakes for gay ceremonies.

Flagstaff House has won the Wine Spectator’s Grand Award; it’s one of only 75 restaurants to win the award this year. But more remarkably, Flagstaff House has earned the coveted Grand Award every year since 1983. “The Wine Spectator is the first and most prestigious wine magazine,” says restaurant co-owner…
There’s been buzz circulating for months that Justin Cucci, the owner/chef of Linger and Root Down (and, at some point, a second Root Down at DIA), had his clever hands in another project, and now we can confirm exactly what that is: Cucci will open a bar, restaurant and live…
The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse’s thirteenth annual Rocky Mountain Tea Festival poured out the fun for both adults and kids this past weekend, including such yearly favorites as the children’s tea party and chef-owner Lenny Martinelli’s cooking with tea workshop, as well as a brand-new — and delicious — tea and…
We’ve found some very good vegan pizzas in town, including this year’s Best of Denver award-winner. But the pie to beat in 2013 comes from the oven at the Marquis Theater, which has minimal seating for diners — but plenty of entertainment while you wait…
On July 10, the city red-tagged the First Avenue Hotel, ordering the building vacated — and that meant that both El Diablo and Sketch had to close, at least temporarily. But after three weeks of fighting, owner Jesse Morreale managed to get a hearing yesterday morning before the Board of…

The interior of Ace Eat Serve — the highly-anticipated ping-pong hall, restaurant and bar that will open at 501 East 17th Avenue on Wednesday — is one of the most uniquely designed spaces in the city. Xan Creative, the design firm responsible for the look, has documented Ace’s construction on…
The Kickstarter campaign, Facebook page and website for Twin Hops Brewing Co. — a new brewery concept from brothers Brad, Scott and Rick Burton (Brad and Scott are identical twins) — have all inexplicably disappeared from the Web.

I don’t think much of the ravioli — or the marinara sauce — at this Italian joint, but the Olympic-size pork osso buco is worth its weight in medals. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Guess Where posts…
Although we absolutely love vegan king Bryant Terry’s pesto potato salad, sometimes you want something a bit more traditional to take to a picnic. This recipe is adapted from the original Betty Crocker version, but we use Vegenaise instead of mayonnaise and add some pickle, celery seed and dill for…
