Andrew Knowlton, the Bon Appetit food scribe, who, in the fall of last year, named Boulder the “foodiest town” in the United States, is now throwing around the culinary “F” word — fusion — in a story that trumpets the top six restaurants in the country to “Taste the New…

So McDonald’s is issuing a “surprising, embarrassing and uncharacteristic” apology to its Australian customers because McCafé coffee sucks. “We are the largest coffee chain in Australia, but we know we are not the most loved,” Helen Nash, McDonald’s Australian COO, told The Australian. “Customers have told us we can do…

With Civic Center Eats rolling into Civic Center today for a new summer season, and trucks tooling around other parts of town, Denverites will get to test some new mobile barbecue, including Bubby’s BBQ and N.Z’s Smokin’ Guns, which will hit Civic Center Park Thursday. Still, the responses to our…

I showed up at Gaia Bistro 45 minutes early. It was a Sunday morning during prime brunch hours, when the wait list can top an hour and a half (or even longer, if Gaia’s warm and well-meaning service is running slow, as it often is). Someone had to take one…

Last summer, Osei and Adwoa Ford-Wuo parked the van they’d used to hawk West African food and picked up a strip mall spot in Aurora, outfitting it with hut-themed decor and turning out a fantastic board of fufu, jollof rice, peanut butter soup and fried plantains. And now that they…

This old garage space looks shuttered now, but it’s the future home of a new restaurant: Gary Lee’s Motor Club and Grub. And while we’re guessing the opening is still a ways off — a deserted car lot flanks the front of the building and will require some serious cleanup…

This ad for a Bar Hostess popped up on Craigslist last week: Are you 21+, love a great environment and want to make $12.50/hr? If you are the type of girl that demands attention and turns heads, you might be perfect for Denver’s newest nightlife club; Northwoods Inn! The hot,…

The basement is a hot place to be right now. Last year, two of Denver’s top restaurateurs picked up underground spots in Larimer Square, opening unique concepts right at the edge of LoDo. The first was Green Russell, a faux speakeasy fronted with a pie shop that Frank Bonanno opened…

We’ve seen a succession of restaurant openings over the last several months, but Linger, the second restaurant from Justin Cucci, the owner/chef of Root Down, may very well be the most anticipated new arrival of the year. And after a remarkably good dinner there last week, at which Cucci, along…

It goes to reason that a bar justifiably admired for its beer roster would also serve a bang-up beer-based soup bolstered by crumbles of bacon and housemade pretzel nubs. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Where am I…

If you hear it from the Food Channel, then it must be true. This crew’s latest list — of top-ten dessert trends — includes mass wedding cake genocide, tableside theatrics, Cinnamon Twists from Taco Bell, beer paired with doughnuts, two-fisting nuts (and yes, “two-fisting” is being used as a verb…

Cafe Society served up just three Guess where? contests during the short last week, ranging from molcajete stew at El Diablo to a massive slab of fried chicken on a biscuit from the Biscuit Bus to this order of chips and queso. For correctly identifying it as coming from Prohibition,…

Two restaurants are looking for new homes this month. On Friday afternoon, Lori Midson broke the news that Robert Thompson will be opening Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar in the current home of Baur’s Ristorante; owner Jimmy Lambatos will close Baur’s at the end of the month, and is…

The Justice league of Street Food — the fleet of food trucks that took our bellies by storm last summer — is back for a second season of gorging, beginning tomorrow, when ten trucks and carts post up at 3507 Ringsby Court, directly north of Fuel Cafe, in the paved…
