• Veggie Girl: Racines

  One of my strongest dining memories from childhood is dining at the café in the Broadway department store in Albuquerque. Strangely, I don't remember the food -- it was probably a grilled cheese sandwich or chicken noodle soup or some other kid-friendly dish -- but I remember the ambience. The dimly lit dining room was the essence of sophistication to me when I was seven, and whenever I walk into Racines Restaurant, 650 Sherman Street, I'm overcome with nostalgia. Something about the lighting

• Denver Blogs: Lawmakers debate 3.2 beer, give blogger excuse to use favorite over-used photo

  The Latest Word is in the market for quality blogging and other web goodness from around Denver. Send tips. Republicans split on 3.2-beer debate, probably because they only drink wine and kitten's blood. (Face the State) Rocky employees: There are people in Albuquerque who feel your pain. And people in Albuquerque are better than nothing (we think). (Colorado Independent) Hey! This Mike Nolan 3-4 Broncos defense thing may not be such a bad idea after all! (Mile High Report)

• Geek Bowl 2009: The geeks shall inherit the earth, presuming they know the answer

  Though the pub quiz is rumored to have been invented by the Egyptians shortly after they invented beer, the sport has only recently achieved the kind of worldwide status accorded to other top sports, like soccer, baseball and beer pong. And it is here, in Denver, where the top teams come to compete in the sport's biggest event: the Geek Bowl. Geeks of every shape, size and description, from portly and pasty to scrawny and pasty, descended on Denver's Oriental Theater on Saturday for a night o

• Frontier's economic stimulus deal's a real cockpit tease

  Those flashy online Frontier ads sure look enticing. Click and you'll find out that the airline has extended it's Economic Stimulus Package deal until today! Flights from Denver starting at $39! "Save big bucks all across the USA," their website says. Big bucks! Across the USA! Why not? But click further and you'll find out that there are only two $39 flights: to Albuquerque, New Mexico and Colorado Springs. Okay, Albuquerque isn't a bad deal. But Colorado Springs? Really? Say you wanted to

• Veggie Girl: Il Vicino

  Like Little Anita's, Il Vicino is one of the few Albuquerque chains to survive the trip to Denver. But while Little Anita's has never been a top-tier spot back home (though it has some of the best chile I've found here in Denver), Il Vicino has always been one of the better fast-casual places in either town. I've been frequenting the Italian restaurant's first outpost in Albuquerque's Nob Hill for most of its fourteen years. During my college days at the University of New Mexico, we craved it

• American Beauty: Dinner at Venue

  While employed in my last-ever cooking gig before coming here, I got to know grits pretty well, because I worked the night-shift at an Albuquerque Waffle House and one of my many responsibilities (along with tossing the drunks and cooking the hash browns and cleaning the grease traps) was fixing grits for the morning shift. These were plain grits -- yellow corn, very cheap even by grit standards -- and we did nothing to them but cook them. But even that was a process, like making perfect risott

• Kill Paradise lands recording deal

  So the music business is allegedly in dire straits right now, having endured the sharpest decline in CD sales ever this past year. Yet if you're paying attention you can't help but notice that act after act from Denver is being snatched up by various labels at stupefying rate, that, even during the boom times, might have seemed anomalous. The latest Mile High minstrel to garner a deal is Kill Paradise, the electro pop duo comprised of Nick Cocozzella and Bryce Hoops.

• Meese reveals track list and cover art for new album

  In a little over a month, Meese's major label debut is slated to drop. At a listening party a few months ago at the Larimer Lounge, we learned that the album would be titled Broadcast and would feature "The Start of It," a song well familiar to all of the kids on the frozen Front Range, that has since been rechristened "Tell Me It's Over." This morning, the outfit made its first single, "Next In Line," available on iTunes and revealed the artwork and track list for the new record -- some of whic

Within the following year, the project expanded to eight plus members and the band's sound went from a spare and earnest beauty to an exuberant and impassioned exorcism of melancholy moods. During the course of the band's existence, it won accolades from critics and fans alike and relea

More than half a year later, the outfit has finished its new album, The Second Effect, which will be available exclusively tomorrow at Hot Topic. If the words BrokenCYDE or Hot Topic cause you to just absolutely seethe, or if you're just not particularly found of fey, keyboard driven electro made by dudes with faux h
