There were plenty of frivolous amusements to keep us occupied over the holiday weekend, but the Big Eat, EatDenver’s annual food orgy at Union Station, was definitely a bash to remember. “It was fantastic, everyone had so much fun, and the chefs really brought their game,” says Elizabeth Woessner, executive…
Atomic Tamale just opened at 1450 Carr Street in Lakewood — and on Sunday, when we stopped by to check out the new digs, we were happy to learn that the joint is still serving its free vegan menudo with a “special” Sunday order of two tamales and three falafel-stuffed…

Cafe Society dished out five Guess Where? contests last week, ranging from a ceviche tostada from Pinche Taqueria to a vast selection of salsas from a taqueria that still remains a mystery to an omelet and au gratin potatoes from Annie’s Cafe. We also unleashed a beer cocktail from a…

On a snowy February night, I ate one of the best meals I’d had in a long time at Ambria. I’d been excited to try this spot, which Steve Halliday opened last November in the former Ling & Louie’s in the Tabor Center; he’d brought in chef Jeremy Kittelson to…

If you’re a product of the ’70s, and spent your spare time eating a salisbury steak TV dinner while glued to Lee Majors flexing his bionic implants on the Six Million Dollar Man, then you and that goofball, Johnny Ballen, the tall, lanky bean who owns the Squeaky Bean, have…
First thing’s first: This scallop ceviche tostada is not from T|ACO, which, in addition to a lineup of t|a|c|o|s, does, in fact, serve ceviche. But if you were planning to go in that direction, you’d be mistaken. Rather, the ceviche in the above snap hails from another taco joint that…
Yes, someone just found yet another @#$% finger in his %$#@ food — and this time, it apparently wasn’t planted for the purpose of a lawsuit (but I wouldn’t be shocked if a lawsuit ensues). Michigan teen Ryan Hart was chowing down on a roast beef sandwich at Arby’s when…

Atomic Tamale landed on the list of our top ten vegetarian meals of 2011, and the tiny spot on Santa Fe Drive was always packed (especially on Sundays, when free vegan menudo was offered up with entrees), selling tamales by the singles and dozens. But as with Denver Seitan Company,…
