This just in: The Icehouse Tavern at 1801 Wynkoop Street will be opening June 22, according to James Mazzio, the award-winning chef who ran the kitchen at the space's previous incarnation, Via, and who's taken a very active role in its transformation into the Icehouse Tavern.It's still owned by the Momo family, who already have Cucina Colore at 3041 East Third Avenue.

Sergio Romero will not be cooking dinner at Chefs for the Cause -- and neither will anyone else.Chefs for the Cause sounded like a philanthropic foodie's delight -- six of Denver's top chefs creating delicious food to help raise money for the Denver affiliate of Susan G.
