The first time I tried Ethiopian food, I was visiting my friend, Mat, in Montreal. We’d met the previous summer on a train headed to Berlin, and since we were both backpacking solo around Europe and trying to get to Prague, which had just suffered a flood, we found ourselves…
I hate windows during the summer. I hate them because when I’m at work, I can see the sky and the sun and the birds and all the people who aren’t at work strolling merrily by. Thankfully, I don’t work near Coors Field anymore, because the smell of food and…
The Candy Girls were systematically working our way around the chocolate shops, bakeries and specialty candy makers of Denver when we stumbled upon Big Fat Cupcake, 129 Adams Street. While the uniquely flavored, award-winning cupcakes drew us in, it was shop-owner Kathleen Nevin’s mission to donate 10 percent of her…

See more photos of Tocabe at westword.com/slideshow. Like whiskey and the music of the Pogues from the Irish, tortillas from the Mexicans, prosciutto from the Italians and mother sauces and threesomes from the French, fry bread is the Native American people’s proud contribution to our mutt and multicultural present, one…
While two totally separate establishments, Roslyn Grill (504 East Colfax Avenue) and Nob Hill Inn (420 East Colfax) nonetheless comprise a flaming binary star of degeneracy around which many of Denver’s down-and-out orbit. Because they’re less than a block apart and both cheap as hell, they attract the same crowd…
When I first heard that Chipotle was changing its menu — running out the first new board the operation has seen since setting down roots in Denver some fifteen years ago — I refused to take it seriously. The second time, I laughed at the person who insisted that Chipotle…
Long after my review of Tocabe was safely in the can, I was still dreaming about fry bread. I was also eating fry bread — having made at least three post-review visits to Tocabe’s home at 44th and Lowell just to “check my facts.” One that almost slipped by me?…
The sandwich: Boccaccio Crostone What’s on it: Fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, pesto and tomato on grill-pressed bread Where to get it: Parisi (4401 Tennyson Street, 303-561-0234) How much: $7.99 I’m a horrible American cliché when it comes to all things Italian.

Steven Shaw, founder of egullet and a serious food-world heavyweight, was in town this month for the International Association of Culinary Professionals conference, and he somehow found time to take a spin up to Westminster to check out Ian Kleinman’s molecular gastronomy menu at O’s Steak and Seafood. I’ve been…
We may be seeing a trend in the competitive small-batch, independently owned ice cream sector of our economy. Two Spoons, an ice cream shop at 1021 Pearl Street in Boulder, just introduced a breakfast-cereal bar — a concept that mirrors an idea introduced last month at the Red Trolley in…
