Krewe Crescent City BBQ closed last week, capping off what’s been a tough year for Denver barbecue. We lost the last outpost of longtime favorite Big Papa’s; Country Time closed its doors; Big Hoss left Tennyson. But there have been gains: Tennyson Street BBQ is now smokin’ in Berkeley, Ragin’…
As soon as our photographers got news that the Denver Cat Company was open today, there was a rush to get some face time with the cuddly kitties. Danielle Lirette was there first, snapping shots of the friendly felines and equally personable owner, Sana Hamelin. Keep reading for more photos…
This week in Cafe Society, Gretchen Kurtz visited Adelita’s Cocina Y Cantina to find out why the Tuesday special is the taco the town. The Denver Cat Company, only the third cat cafe in the U.S., opened its door today — but only a little, since the owner didn’t want…
The Source was jumping yesterday, but even so, we’re not quite sure it needs a bathroom with room for 185 people. Or does that sign refer to the capacity for another space in the converted warehouse? To clear up the mystery, we went straight to the source: Source developer Kyle…
No. 59: Curry Puffs at Suvipa Thai Food 1015 South Federal Boulevard 720-379-6038 Suvipa Thai hasn’t been open long, but the kitchen is already going strong, serving up some of the brightest and most flavorful Thai dishes we’ve dug into recently. While the standards — pungent pad Thai that’s not…
The day is finally here — after many twists and turns and much anticipation, the Denver Cat Company is now open for business, serving coffee and kitty love on Tennyson Street in the Berkeley neighborhood. Eight adoptable cats will be in house, courtesy of the Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, at…
Tengu opened earlier this week with almost no advance notice, no website and not even a sign with the ramen shop’s name on the outside of the building. Tucked into the back corner of the Industry development on Brighton Boulevard, it would be easy to mistake it for a loading…
With the season changing soon, so are the menu items at many restaurants. This week, the love child of modern dining and comfort food, Steuben’s, has added several items to its always-tasty menu. (Don’t worry, the crispy Brussels sprouts aren’t going away. Ever.) One noteworthy change to the menu lives…
This week Gretchen Kurtz reviews Adelitas Cocina Y Cantina, a welcoming spot whose deals are undeniable — but a few dishes there could use some work, she says. Or not, respond readers. “Whoever wrote this is an idiot,” writes one. “Maybe you should go to the doctor and get your…
Ambitious downtown eatery Stout Street Social opened today, with an intentionally eclectic menu for an area that’s thick with businesspeople, tourists, conventioneers and theater-goers but isn’t necessarily known as a destination dining zone (unless you think Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a great destination). Concept Restaurants, which operates a handful…
For the second year in a row, Denver International Airport has been named one of the top ten airports in the United States for healthy options by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization. DIA ranks seventh, with a restaurant lineup that “features an array of…
Biju’s Little Curry Shop hums with color and spice, the result of owner and chef Biju Thomas’s childhood in the state of Kerala, India. Biju’s opened earlier this week, serving curries and other delights from southern India; Thomas says more unique dishes will be available starting next week when his…
Apparently someone took the word “house” in the name of downtown beer bar Yard House a little too literally. As 9 News reported yesterday, a man who had been living in the ceiling above the 16th Street Mall restaurant had to be rescued after he became stuck in a wall…
The only thing hotter than good green chile? The discussion over which state has the better version — New Mexico or Colorado. Mark Antonation is on a verde journey this month in Ethniche, and his recent visit to Tacos Jalisco sparked another round in the NM v. CO debate –…
Sushi Den’s 30th anniversary is this month (the actual day is Christmas Eve) and although the restaurant is not in the habit of running specials or discounts, owners Toshi and Yasu Kizaki have held a few small events throughout the year to show appreciation for regular customers. The most recent…
As major fans of savory breakfasts, we love a good plate of eggs Benedict. There’s something about the combination of a soft poached egg, a crunchy English muffin and a lake of creamy sauce kissed with lemon that makes for the perfect kick-start to a morning or a cure for…
Erich Rosenberg talks fast and moves between subjects even faster. You might blame it on the coffee; after all, he’s the head roaster for Novo Coffee, so continuous coffee-tasting is a big part of his job. But after you listen for a few minutes, it’s clear that his energy is…
Mark Antonation is dreaming of a green Christmas, and so he’s spooning up green chile all month in Ethniche. Yesterday his quest took him to Tacos Jalisco — not that you’re going to find Colorado-style green chile in Jalisco, Mexico. What you’ll find at Denver’s Tacos Jalisco is Colorado gravy,…
Adelitas Cocina Y Cantina 1294 South Broadway 303-778-1294 It’s early on a Tuesday night, so early you can still nab a parking place on South Broadway. But inside Adelitas Cocina Y Cantina, nearly every seat at the bar is taken and there’s a wait for tables. We crowd by the…
Waffle Up is finally more than just a food truck. Today owners Jasmine Spoonemore and Tom McCarty opened their bright little waffle cafe in the Baker neighborhood, in a corner storefront formerly occupied by Humble Pie. See also: Humble Pie Signs Lease for New Location on Colfax…
Chef Biju Thomas has designed restaurant menus, written cookbooks for athletes and worked with professional cyclists to provide tasty and nutritious meals. He’s also a native of Kerala, India, which is the primary culinary influence behind his fast-casual eatery, Biju’s Little Curry Shop, which opened yesterday in the River North…
Huckleberry Roasters is a great place to start a weekly peek into Denver’s café and craft coffee scene: it has modern design, three types of coffee pours (drip, pour over and AeroPress) and a “toast program,” which is really just a menu of toast with jam, nut butters and honey…
