Pro football player Chad Ochocinco is a generous man — but don’t toast him yet. The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is touting Ochocinco’s, a honey-nut toasted oat cereal whose box includes a number that’s supposed to send callers to Feed the Children, the charity that’s benefiting from sales of the…
The area around Broadway as it heads into SoBo is booming, what with El Diablo joining a mix that already includes Deluxe and Delite, Karma, Sweet Action and Beatrice & Woodsley. And it will just become busier next year when Robert Thompson of Argyll opens Punch Bowl, his bowling alley/diner-style…
Last week, Cafe Society served up seven Guess where contests (not including our seasonal green chile category), featuring everything from the infused spirits at Parallel 17 to the new charcuterie plate at Vesta to this zuppa di pesce, which saved an otherwise disappointing meal. For correctly identifying it as coming…

The Justice League of Street Food — that club of food truck operators that’s built a good amount of buzz among foodies over the past few months — held its third food truck party on Friday night in the parking lot at 29th and Huron. Westword photography intern Hunter Stevens…
Denver loves the home-grown chain Chipotle, and the restaurant empire has been loving Denver right back. On September 11, several Chipotle locations donated a portion of their proceeds to B-Cycle. And today, all metro-area Chipotles will ll be giving 50 percent of the proceeds from sales of burritos, burrito bowls,…
Culture on a stick. That’s the new concept that Hutch Phanichamnuay and his wife, Wattra Phairatphiboon, are bringing to the University of Denver neighborhood in November when they unleash Skew, a fast-casual joint at 2070 South University, located in the former Stick-e Star space, which closed earlier this year…
What, you think you won? There were some excellent comments submitted to our little Balistreri Harvest Party ticket giveaway, and to be honest, we wish we could hand out tickets to a whole slew of you for making us giggle until we spewed our wine, but we could only choose…
Park Burger, 1890 South Pearl Street, has received accolades from Bon Apetit, the Denver Burger Battle judges and Westword, which gave the joint Best French Fries in this year’s Best of Denver awards. Now USA Today is giving Park Burger something else to brag about: The restaurant was highlighted as…
When we discovered last week that our Tony’s Market 10-percent-off coupon excluded “meat bundles,” the editor’s meeting pretty much went downhill from there — so much so that we thought, “What the hell? Why not have a contest?” So we decided to give away one meat bundle to the reader…
During a quick stop to have a cocktail, I decided I was hungry and ordered the tagliatelle with roasted mushrooms and crème fraiche, which I’d eat every day, if only I didn’t have to drive to Boulder to get it. Can you guess where I’m drinking (and eating)? Special bonus:…
Groupon, the national deal-hawker that one woman claims nearly sunk her business, is unveiling a brand new publicity stunt called Grouspawn, which is sure to rile up Glenn Beck and his fellow Tea Partiers…
Kelly Liken, chef/owner of Restaurant Kelly Liken and one of the top-four contenders in this year’s Top Chef DC, likes shallots. “I put them in almost everything,” she says in this week’s Chef and Tell (read the complete Kelly Liken interview here). They definitely play a starring role in the…
While food trucks are still on a roll in Denver, several brick-and-mortar restaurants opened in September — with many more slated to open in October. But the Denver dining scene also lost some notable spots, too. Our restaurant roll call for September:…
On Sunday, you could be one of the first oenophiles to swirl and sip Balistreri Vineyards’ new wine releases at the winery’s eighth annual Balistreri Harvest Party, a tribute to the fruit of the vine that benefits CASA of Adams and Broomfield counties. Tickets are $55 in advance, and $60…

As if the lighters, air fresheners, swimsuits, earrings, handbags, hoodies — and hell, just look at all this stuff — weren’t enough, Ed Hardy is now emblazoning his logo on the cardboard pizza boxes of Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco. Eater provides this photo, perfect for all you male…
I’m enjoying Just Desserts more than I enjoyed the regular Top Chef, though in many ways I’m more interested in savory food than dessert. Although the Dessert contestants are pretty high-octane, they’re also more emotionally honest, and there’s a lighter, more playful feel to the whole thing — perhaps because…

A month ago, we reported that Madison Street, the Larimer Associates restaurant at 1200 Madison, would open on September 29, barring any construction obstacles. Well, they’ve hit a few…
Finally heard from the Counter — not from an official for the California-based company, where I’d left my message early Tuesday morning, but from a PR representative who’d read my post on the quick closure of the Park Meadows store. “They’ve closed the location, and don’t have any plans to…
Every time I go to the restaurant where the above pic was flashed, I order one of the infused spirits. They change regularly, but lychee and ginger are favorite ingredients of the bartenders. Yum. Can you guess where I’m drinking? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to…
