Adrian Miller has been certified to judge competitions by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, but he likes all kinds of barbecue, not just Kansas City style. Among his favorite barbecue joints in Denver are a couple that can’t be categorized by region, including Country Time BBQ, reviewed this week, and…
I did some traveling this summer, and I used each trip as an opportunity to eat my way through a city. Frequently, I’d note, with smug superiority, that we do certain things just as well — or better — in Denver. But there were also moments when I was gullet-deep…
In just a few short weeks, Voodoo Comedy Playhouse will open in the Ballpark neighborhood, bringing downtown Denver a venue for all kinds of comedy acts and shows, including Hit and Run Musical Improv, Makeshift Shakespeare and a weekly interactive murder mystery dinner show…
It was an impromptu stop after the bar down the street was six-deep with Sunday-morning football hooligans, and, as it turned out, the pulled-pork eggs Benedict made it worth the detour, the scratch-made Hollandaise vivid with lemon and the Bloody Mary bar, stocked with all the required conspirators, a sight…
Kids wait for candy around Halloween. Adults — at least the big-beer-loving kind — well, they wait for Rumpkin, Avery Brewing’s tricky barrel-aged treat. And this year, they’ll be able to fill their spooky buckets and pillowcases with bottles…
We know you’re all gearing up for the Great American Beer Festival — and what better way to start your marathon training than with various Oktoberfest events? That and much more is happening in the food scene this week; here’s a taste of what else is on the menu:…
While Dylan Moore, the chef/owner of Deluxe and Delite, dumped his food truck earlier this summer and shuttered Deluxe Burger last month, he isn’t lazing on a beach somewhere in the tropics, sipping umbrella drinks and building sand castles. Instead, Moore, who recently remodeled Deluxe, is now adding lunch to…
Before the Denver Broncos take on the Raiders tonight, football fans will take on another tough tradition: tailgating. Things are already cooking in the designated tailgating lot outside of the newly renamed Sports Authority at Mile High. The menu for a tailgating party should be easy: grill meat, add beer,…
Sean Kenyon has been following the news coming out of Stranahan’s, from Jake Norris’s decision to leave as head distiller to the installation of a new head, Rob Dietrich. His recent interview with Dietrich — and Dietrich’s stated intention to keep Stranahan’s from compromising its blend, prompted this response from…
Jake Norris was there from the start of Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, so when he left last month — eight months after the Colorado-based company was sold to Proximo Spirits — it got a lot of people in the liquor community talking. Norris himself talked last week, as did Rob Dietrich,…
Cafe Society served up three Guess Where? contests last week, featuring everything from a molcajete that missed the mark to a Greek salad with gyros to a plate of lackluster rotisserie chicken. For correctly identifying that plate as coming from Pearl Street Grill, Matt wins an EatDenver deck. But really,…
No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but here’s some incentive to join the growing movement. We’re now featuring an animal-free recipe each week. For our opening act, we decided to tackle vegan baking. It’s surprisingly easy: These muffins are moist and fluffy, and…

UPDATE: We have a winner! Congrats to Kate, who came the closest (without going over) with her guess of 333 lobster rolls served last week at Steuben’s. The actual number is 335. We’re still in the throes of street-food season, and this Saturday, from 5 to 10 p.m. at TAXI,…
Denver just can’t seem to quench its thirst for craft beer. After just five months in business, the owners of Copper Kettle Brewing have already pumped up their beer-making capacity by adding two ten-barrel fermenters to the three three-barrel tanks they already had – an expansion of about 166 percent…
Tiffany Iung’s goal is to have a storefront in Five Points and “a pack of girls on pink bikes” delivering her organic, homemade sandwiches, cakes and salads. After a two-year stint in Paris, she moved her operation to Denver, where Tifamade has been going since June. And she thinks it…
