The restaurant scene did some shuffling in June, with Taste of Thailand moving from its longtime Englewood location to a new spot in Denver on South Broadway, Pho Duy moving one storefront north (into the short-lived Wonderbowl space), and Blue Pan Pizza bringing Detroit-style pies to West 32nd Avenue after the departure of Connecticut-style pizza joint Basil Doc's — which still has three other Denver locations to find it's thin-crust delights.
