Il Vicino, which opened on South Gaylord Street last week, now has a sibling gelateria and coffeehouse. Veloce officially opened yesterday on the front patio, and is serving a half-dozen flavors of Little Man Ice Cream, including classic pistachio and the more unusual mango-habenero…
For the past four days, Chicken Kabob — the fast-casual Persian joint that Foad Aftahi opened last fall at 9678 East Arapahoe Road in Greenwood Village — has been mysteriously closed. The phone mailbox is full, and there’s no message posted on the place to indicate Chicken Kabob’s status –…
It’s been years since I’ve indulged in a patty melt, but earlier this week, the urge hit. That — and a Dr. Brown’s black cherry soda — hit the spot. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Guess Where…
Bentley Folse Finley’s Pub 375 South Pearl Street 303-282-4790 www.finleysdenver.com Part one of my interview with Bentley Folse, exec chef of Finley’s Pub, ran yesterday; this is part two. Favorite restaurant in America: Both Clancy’s and Commander’s Palace in New Orleans. Clancy’s is a quaint little neighborhood place that’s a…
Business Insider’s recent list of the most popular fast-food chains in the U.S. — put together by food industry research firm Technomic — served up the fifteen biggest earners in the biz. I’ve definitely contributed dough to some of these establishments — but eschewed others in favor of my health…
The space once occupied by Office Depot at 600 East Colfax Avenue will be getting a makeover this summer. Hampton Partners, the investment firm responsible for Argonaut’s facelift, is heading up a development there that will not only include a new Office Depot, but a third (and two-story) Billy’s Gourmet…
There’s more going on in Baker than the drama between the city and El Diablo and Sketch, the two restaurants owned by Jesse Morreale that are indefinitely shuttered after the city walloped the building with notice-to-vacate signs, citing safety issues. Just a few blocks way, at 300 Elati Street, Tamara…
The best alambres I’ve found in Denver hail from Los Carbincitos, which is not where I ate this pineapple, ham and al pastor alambre that definitely doesn’t rival Los Carboncitos. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Guess Where…
Pete Marczyk and Barbara Macfarlane do not leave their work behind when they leave Marczyk Fine Foods and head for their great old Denver house with the big, new kitchen. They often bring some of their market’s choicest ingredients home with them and cook up a feast. For this week’s…
You know you’ve picked a good restaurant for lunch when it’s already filling up at 11 a.m. That’s what we found when we stepped inside Sahara. Like many restaurants in the Denver Tech Center area, Sahara is tucked inside a strip mall, but the attention paid to the decor makes…

Part two of our chat will run tomorrow. I suppose my parents liked the car,” muses Bentley Folse, whose first name conjures images of a…
Jack in the Box just introduced its new Breakfast Waffle Sandwich, which is a fried egg, sausage patty and American cheese smushed between two maple-infused waffles — and not to be confused with the McGriddle breakfast sandwich from McDonald’s, which is a fried egg, bacon or sausage and American cheese…
El Diablo and Sketch remained dark yesterday — and as the comments and rumors fly, some people feel they’re still in the dark about why the city closed the First Avenue Hotel building when it did. After all, the restaurants had been operating for two years in that space; why…
When Boulderites say “Meet you at the teahouse,” no one ever asks which or where. The Dushanbe Teahouse is an integral part of the Boulder scene, a fantastically decorated, Persian-Islamic themed place that features hand-painted tiles, intricately carved wooden pillars, an inside fish pool and rows of fragrant roses outside…
After hearing that Consumer Capital Partners — the Denver-based investment company that owns Smashburger — plans to open Tom’s Urban 24 Diner at 1460 Larimer Street this fall, Tom Messina, who’s owned and operated Tom’s Diner at 601 East Colfax Avenue for the past thirteen years, was “a little flattered…
“I’m bursting at the seams, I’m so excited,” says Comida Cantina owner Rayme Rossello, who just inked a deal to open a second Comida in a 2,700-square-foot restaurant space inside the Source, a behemoth indoor artisan European market, conceived and undertaken by urban developer Kyle Zeppelin, that will open early…
The big question isn’t why El Olvido closed, but how this Jaliscan eatery stayed open as long as it did. No sooner had it taken over the former home of Hades at 2200 South Broadway in the spring of 2011 than the city started a massive street project outside. And…
The remains of Brandon’s Pub, the oddly named Mexican joint that got its start in the Beauvallon in 2008, just when the building was about to go under wraps for repairs, then reappeared in the former home of Chez Jose in Cherry Creek North in May 2010, will be auctioned…
Wood-fired pizza is the primary lure at this neighborhood joint, but the salads, assembled with tomatoes just plucked from the vine, are a big draw, too. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Guess Where posts is entered into…
The comments continue to pour in regarding the imminent closing of Pagliacci’s, which Lori Midson reported here Saturday, and have inspired an outpouring of memories of the restaurant overseen by the sad, neon clown for more than six decades…and more discussion of the changes in northwest Denver…
Beats on the Creek, outside Coohills tonight, isn’t the only live music coming to LoDo this summer. The Market Street Summerfest, a free event, is coming to 20th and Market streets on Saturday, August 11. That’s a corner that’s home to El Chapultepec, the city’s oldest jazz club and one…
A stormy night in Boulder, rain lashing down, flood warning in effect, and four of us sitting in a comfortable corner of the Dushanbe Teahouse. Looking out, we can see the swollen creek rushing by, and we speculate on just how high it might rise. There’s no one on the…
