Are we just getting used to this? Another month, another twenty new restaurants — ho hum. What’s not so ho hum is when the food is unique, fun or flat-out spectacular. Sandwiches are nothing novel, but the Obey Sandwichery team — the same chefs braising whole animal heads at Rebel…
Denver’s dining scene is not only growing, it’s diversifying. Building on 2016 trends, market halls remain popular, veggie-forward menus still reign, and New American cooking is a prime genre (though maybe that’s not so much a trend as a catch-all for the personal cooking that defines America’s restaurants at large)…
Next week, Create Cooking School is teaming up with Mondo Market to serve up a sample of what the school will offer when it opens early next year. From October 2 to 6, co-founders Erasmo Casiano and Diego Coconati will lead lunchtime cooking demonstrations at Mondo Market at Stanley, located…
Rain Adams has been cooking and baking for most of her life and she recently launched her own bakery selling cakes decorated for special occasions, cupcakes, cookies and other sweet treats. The story isn’t uncommon, but the difference with this story is that Rain Adams is 14 years old. Adams…
Buffets are a great place to dine alone. You can sample every dish offered that you wouldn’t normally try — and nobody judges you. At least that was my rationalization for multiple trips to the six different buffet islands at the oddly seductive Mr. Panda Super Buffet at 2852 South Havana Street…
The City Park West neighborhood has been home to the Kitchen Table, Dave Kilroy’s tribute to his Midwestern upbringing, since 2013. But the counter-service eatery at 1426 East 22nd Avenue that served neighbors and employees of the nearby hospital and healthcare complex — not to mention herds of eager Yelpers…
Biju Thomas, founder of Biju’s Little Curry Shop, has been steadily growing his brand since opening his first fast-casual South Indian restaurant at 1441 26th Street in RiNo in 2014. In 2016, he added a second Biju’s at 4279 Tennyson Street and also struck a deal with Whole Foods Market…
When Christian Graves and his wife decided it was time to leave San Diego, they each made a list of five places where they’d like to live. They landed in Colorado, where Graves is now heading the kitchen at Citizen Rail in the new Kimpton Hotel Born.
Call me guilty of reading too much Hemingway, but I once romanticized about running with the bulls and living to tell the tale. You don’t have to risk your life or fly to Spain if you want to run with the bulls; at the recently opened El Torito Taqueria y…
Maybe the word “barbecue” just appeals to Denverites, or maybe Korean cuisine is finally earning some respect outside the growing Korean community in the metro area. No matter the reason, Korean restaurants are popping up all over town — and not just in hidden strip malls in the suburbs. In…
When you’re trying out a new cuisine, it’s important to be curious and have an open mind…not to mention an empty stomach. Food that you’re unfamiliar with isn’t weird; it’s just weird to you. Dining with utensils that aren’t forks, spoons or knives – or perhaps dining with no utensils…
Not everything opening up in the blocks behind Union Station is a wood-fired restaurant or lavish eatery from an out-of-town corporation. There’s a Whole Foods going in on 17th between Chestnut and Wewatta streets, which will include a second outpost of Birdcall, the chicken sandwich joint that opened this summer…
The Bonnie Brae neighborhood is slow to change, with homes, shops and restaurants stuck in the slow sap of time — especially when compared to other parts of town that are transforming before our eyes. But occasionally a light winks out (or a new one comes on) at the shopping…
Our Ten Bottomless Mimosas list had people planning early for the weekend, and also pouring out their own suggestions. How about the Post? Burnt Barrel? But other readers thought trying out the ten places on the list would keep them busy all fall. Says Jayne: My friends and I thank…
This week brought breakfast, sandwiches, Indian street food and a downtown hotel restaurant to the Denver scene. Corinne and 54Thirty, the restaurant and rooftop bar at the new Le Meridien Hotel downtown, which Laura Shunk wrote about earlier this summer, are now both open. And Stapleton a.m. sensation Four Friends…
We hope you’re hungry for fresh Mexican fare, frozen treats and hefty sandwiches this weekend. This week’s Watch List brings an updated Mexican menu in Sunnyside, lunchtime hours for a rebellious restaurant in RiNo, and an ice cream shop from a favorite South Broadway cantina. La Chupaflor 11 East Louisiana…
Tavernetta, the brand-new Italian eatery at 1889 16th Street from the owners of Frasca Food & Wine, has only been open for a week, but now the doors are shut again — temporarily. A kitchen fire shortly after 9 p.m. last night (September 21) caused an evacuation of the building…
Don’t be intimidated by the names underneath the dishes pictured on the outside of Chutney, a new casual takeout spot for Nepalese and Indian food at 2740 South Havana Street. Even if you’re not familiar with these cuisines, the staff will guide you through the unusual yet appealing dishes offered…
Blake Edmunds and his kitchen just rolled out several new dishes at Señor Bear; they’re adapting the three-month-old restaurant’s offerings for the season, and also for the neighborhood’s tastes.
Denver lost a treasure earlier this summer when Debbie Kuehn, known to many as “the Cookie Lady,” passed away in June after a battle with cancer. Kuehn ran the popular Santa Fe Cookie Co. at 303 16th Street downtown, offering fresh-baked cookies with an honor-system payment method that felt like a…
Duane Thompson can survey a dining room and note every butter dish out of place, every misaligned chair, every improperly folded napkin in an instant, even while engaging you in a conversation where you’d swear you have his full attention. That’s because Thompson is one of those rare individuals who…
Breckenridge Brewery might have launched on beer in 1990, but the Farm House is definitely a dining destination, with a solid lineup of chef-driven creations that can get a little bit boozy.
