Strip-mall dining in a city as explosively diverse as Denver can be magic; the simplest things and the strangest things -- a stuffed sole, a pork roulade, green chiles and fettuccine -- can sneak up on you and take your head right off. You don't anticipate such a meal, but when you stumble upon it, the surprises, both good and bad, make the meal worthwhile. After all, the little victories, the small defeats, the occasional flashes of left-field genius are what take you from Vietnam to Italy, from Freaktown to Tumsville, from the best curry in the city to the worst mozzarella ever, all in the space of just 32 steps.
