A new face is showing itself in the Highland neighborhood: Prost Fine Beers and Sausages is now open. Amid the trendy bars and hipster joints, Prost is an unassuming little beer hall tucked into West 32nd Avenue, taking the spot formerly held by Asian-Mexican spot BOA. Bedecked in dark wood…

No. 91 Tacos Campechanos at La Calle Taqueria 1565 West Alameda Avenue 720-583-6586 Alameda Avenue between Federal and I-25 is a kind of miniature Federal Boulevard all on its own; you’ll find Chinese dim sum houses, Vietnamese sandwich shops, Cajun-Asian crayfish dens and, of course, no shortage of Mexican taquerias…
For more than a year, Mark Antonation ate his way up Federal Boulevard. With that journey done, he’s now exploring different cuisines from around the globe right here in metro Denver, one month at a time, in Ethniche. Last week I drove to the outlands of Lakewood for a taste…
We’re counting down our 100 Favorite Dishes as we head towards our next Best of Denver, and last week landed at Solera, where Goose Sorensen’s pork-belly confit is a marvel, a preparation that involves curing, pressing and slow cooking in duck fat, which Sorensen explains melts the layers of pork…
When Kristy Socarras Bigelow opened the second Cuba Cuba Sandwicheriain the CitySet project last summer, she predicted that it wouldn’t be the last.

We all know the drill: Get in line, read the big menu board, shuffle along the counter pointing at toppings and condiments, pay at the end and grab our food. Or maybe we just pick from lists of ingredients or lunch styles — the wrap, the bowl, the sandwich –…
Friends on their way from New York to Grand Lake stopped in Denver last week, and we sent them on our recommended 2014 tourism circuit Thursday morning: what we call the Tumbleweed tour, a quick hit in the 1600 block of Wazee Street where you can see the old West…
This week in Cafe Society, Gretchen Kurtz visited Troy Guard’s “modern steakhouse,” Guard and Grace, which didn’t quite live up to expectations — or its hefty price tag. For Chef and Tell, Mark Antonation talked to Dave Query of the Big Red F about being the first owner of Q’s…

Brunch: it’s a time-honored tradition, a mingling of friends over bottomless mimosas for chatting and gluttonous gorging on pancake stacks and egg creations. If your typical Sunday morning debate goes back and forth between heading to the reliable greasy spoon or someplace new and trendy, indecision could have you growing…
UPDATE: Kolache Cabin is back. The mobile food cart received its zoning permit from the city on July 22, and two days later was back in its normal spot on Santa Fe. Kolache Cabin has pulled up stakes…for now. The mobile kolache kitchen, which first showed up in a vacant…
On a stretch of East Colfax Avenue known more for Ethiopian cuisine and dive bars than for destination dining, Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery, a new take on fast-casual with a “steakhouse-inspired” menu, hopes to tap into the pent-up needs of Hale, Montclair and Park Hill residents. After opening soft…

At a recent dinner, the plates were being cleared when a utensil dropped and broth splattered all over my husband’s shirt. The busser apologized but didn’t offer to pay the dry-cleaning bill. Neither the server nor the general manager came over, so the matter ended there, with my husband blotting…
