While some chefs say that burrata has had its heyday — that it’s overstayed its welcome — I’m on the opposing side, still very much enamored with the thin-shelled mozzarella oozing with warm cream. At the restaurant where the above snap was shot, the kitchen pools the Italian cheese in…
You’re a little drunk, the music’s bumpin’, and suddenly…you’re hungry. Really, really hungry. But many bars don’t serve food (chips and beef jerky don’t count; neither do Totino’s pizzas warmed in a microwave). Time to dial D.P. Dough. D.P. Dough opened in November at 1228 East Colfax Avenue, where it…
Jorel Pierce Euclid Hall 1317 14th Street 303-595-4255 www.euclidhall.com This is part two of Lori Midson’s interview with Jorel Pierce, executive chef of Euclid Hall. Part one of that interview ran in this space yesterday. Favorite restaurant in America: Blue Ribbon in Manhattan is just what it is — and…
The McDonald’s Restaurant at 300 South Broadway (on the corner of Alameda and Lincoln) is handing out free oatmeal today from 7 to 9 a.m. Their “Sweet Harmony Oatmeal” street team is luring customers into the store parking lot to give out free, full-sized samples of their new fruit &…
In his most recent In the Weeds, Kyle Garratt listed the “Five Things Kids Should Not Do in Restaurants” — a topic that you’d think would be far more controversial than hot tea or lousy tippers. For a very lively discussion of this issue, read the comments following Melanie Asmar’s…
Fleur Bistro will open for business tomorrow at 1225 Logan Street. The restaurant takes over the lower level of a Victorian building that once housed Maison de Fleur, a florist and event-planning business. Owner Bart Jones says he’d originally hoped to open in early December (a desire echoed in the…
Welcome to In the Weeds. Kyle will be right with you — most likely to complain about something. Usually he is pleasant, but this is his place to blow off some steam. Don’t take it personally; he just needs to vent because he’s been doing this for about thirteen years…
Last month, we reported that Gaia Bistro had obtained a liquor license and was working on adding dinner hours to augment its very popular breakfast and lunch. Today, restaurant co-owner Jon Edwards confirms that as soon as his staff is fully trained, the restaurant will be open for evening dining…
If you’re vegetarian in Denver, then you most likely already know about City, O’ City and its sister restaurant, WaterCourse Foods. There’s a reason that both of these restaurants are so popular: The wine and beer options are fabulous, the food is delicious, and both offer plenty of options for…
Street Kitchen Asian Bistro, the first brick-and-mortar to open in the Vallagio at Inverness (Russo’s Kitchen + Tavern and a second Marco’s Coal-Fired Pizzeria will open in the same development in February), is Mary Nguyen’s second restaurant (her first is Parallel Seventeen in Uptown), but just two days after opening…
‘Twas the day before Christmas, and all through the room, the tables were stirring with sandwiches to consume. Stacked high and mighty with pig on pig, it was too much for one, even a belly that’s big. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first…

Less than a week after Veggie Girl Amber Taufen waxed rhapsodic about a recent meal at Masalaa, the vegetarian Indian joint at 3140 South Parker Road, the quarters are dark, the only sign of life a typed sign taped to the window citing a “temporary closure” due to “maintenance” issues…
Not surprisingly, Xarchy’s lament about the lack of good ethnic eating in this town inspired many suggestions — and a few excellent insults (read them all here). Still, for efficient put-downs, it’s hard to beat this from Harvey, who took commenter Alanis to task for suggesting that a free brunch…
There was a time in my life when I ate ramen once a week, and I’m not talking about that cheap brick of noodles that came with a sodium-loaded packet of flavoring. I’m talking rich broth, thick with animal fat and laden with noodles, pork belly, seaweed, scallions and a…
Say so long to Pho Havana: The Vietnamese restaurant that took over the space at 10400 East Sixth Avenue, which had been home for more than a decade to Chef’s Noodle House, was only open for six months. The phone there is now disconnected; no word yet on what will…
Larkburger, the gourmet burger barn that started in the high country — specifically, Edwards — and spawned siblings in Greenwood Village, Boulder and Fort Collins, is bringing its Black Angus beef to West Washington Park, taking over part of the behemoth square footage that belonged to Blockbuster Video at 340…
I’m a sucker for good salsas, and the caddy of four (plus the house salsa) that graces your table at this bustling taqueria is filled with plastic squats of freshly made, intense concoctions that dance across your tongue like ballerinas on a stage. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special…
Boulder, insists Phil Armstrong, the founder of HUSH, and, for a nanosecond, the general manager of Radex Bistro, which closed last October, needs more breakfast joints. Alec Schuler, owner/executive chef of Arugula, a farm-to-table restaurant in Boulder, shares the same sentiment, and when two restaurant minds think alike, things happen…
The sommelier title hasn’t always been a glamorous one. In fact, according to Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay’s new book, Secrets of the Sommeliers, it was once a title relegated to restaurant workers who proved themselves unworthy of the kitchen, a lowly crew banished to the wine cellar for life…
Cozy Cottage has grown into a House: On Sunday, the breakfast-and-lunch spot opened in its new location at 4363 Tennyson Street, formerly occupied by House (and Gemelli’s before that). The old Cozy Cottage location, at 2423 South Downing Street, closed at the end of November, but owner Michael Mueller has…
Last week Govinda’s Buffet, a vegetarian mainstay, announced that it would be open Tuesdays through Thursdays for lunch, in addition to regular dinner hours on Friday and Saturday. But as it turns out, Govinda’s had more good news cooking: The restaurant will be open for lunch on Friday and Saturday…
