Breakfast, as most of us know, is ballyhooed as the most important meal of the day, but for Abby Aronsohn, an alum of Cook Street School of Culinary Arts, lunch matters most — and Lunch Matters just happens to be the name of her new fast-casual soup-and-sandwich cafe that recently…

If you’re down and out and in search of a dirt-cheap breakfast of eggs, bacon and hash browns, you can pig out at this low-key bar that also pimps pool tables and tunes spanning every genre of music. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the…

Take a look at some of the restaurant ads we featured in the July 17-23, 1991, issue of Westword. While deals like $6 dinner buffets may not exist in 2011, and many of the restaurants that advertised that week no longer exist at all, we can savor cheaper — if…

In life, he was a 104-pound swordfish in the North Atlantic, a loner, with finite eyesight, swimming around and snapping up a good meal of tuna, mackerel or an octopus, if he could get it. But his species’ famed speed and agility did not save him from being harpooned off…

The hits keep coming on Cherry Creek North, which just lost Argyll and Toast, but will soon be gaining Wrap Dawgs, as Lori Midson reported yesterday. All the dish coming out of Cherry Creek prompted this from denveronaspit: First the Tattered Cover and then my beloved Roo Bar is forced…

It’s not all doom and gloom in Cherry Creek North if you’re a restaurant. Despite the fact that Argyll and Toast have both called it quits — Argyll closed on Sunday and will reopen next year in the Baker neighborhood and Toast shuttered three weeks ago — it’s clear that…

Cafe Berlin is now open in its new location at 1600 Champa Street — quite a switch from its original home on 17th Avenue, where Jason Sheehan reviewed the German restaurant (that spot is now occupied by Il Posto), and also from its last downtown address on 14th Street (now…

Georgia Boys BBQ started as a scheme between Matt Alexander and Nick Reckinger to scrape together enough money to buy lift tickets for the slopes, and it quickly became a sprawling sack lunch delivery business and mobile operation, thanks to the pair’s popular ‘cue. Recently, the men had an opportunity…

I’ve always fantasized about living in a neighborhood that had everything within walking distance that I needed to be happy: a stroll away from a nice cup of coffee, a comfortable place to wet my whistle and, most important, a quality marketplace. It’s part of my ongoing and typically American…

New Belgium is a bike-focused brewery, which organizes two-wheeled tours, encourages people to turn in their cars for cycles, and even has custom bikes made. But unless you work at New Belgium, where those cruisers are stored and gifted for years of service, the only way to get one is…

Robert Thompson’s Argyll isn’t the only restaurant that’s bolted from Cherry Creek North, a tony neighborhood dotted with blinged-out boutiques and swank art galleries, but has a losing streak when it comes to dining dens, several of which have shuttered over the past few years (and still remain vacant). While…

There’s no phone number listed anywhere for this ramshackle temple to steer that also doubles as a meat market, green chile utopia and shrine to Biblical verses. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Where am I drinking/eating posts…

Despite Colorado’s short growing season, there’s a growing movement in town of restaurants starting their own gardens. And Parsley has taken the local movement to a new level — its roof…

Cafe Society served up five Guess where? contests last week, ranging from some still-unidentified tamales to what could be the world’s worst green chile at the Butcher Block on Washington to this decent deli sandwich. For correctly identifying it as coming from Delaney’s Pub, Lucy wins an EatDenver deck…

The owners of City, O’ City were at the Wellington E. Webb building last Friday, going for an expanded liquor license that will cover their soon-to-expand space. The plans have been approved, and work on the much-needed expansion into the former hair salon next door will take place next month…

The news that Argyll serves its last meal in its East Third Avenue location yesterday in anticipation of a move to Baker next year has dozens of commenters weighing in on Argyll and, more significantly, dissecting the current character of Cherry Creek: Here’s Kimberly’s view: I must say that when…
