  Back in 1996, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers moved its national headquarters to Greenwood Village. And while other chains are scaling back (or disappearing altogether), those based in Denver seem to be doing fairly well. There's Chipotle, of course, which is moving into London this year. And on Monday, Red Robin will open another restaurant in Illinois, this one in Orland Park.

  ​ I had a rough time of it when last I found myself under chef Chad Clevenger's care at Mel's Restaurant in Greenwood Village. But my experience was nothing compared to how Clevenger and his crew must've felt once my review of the restaurant came out. Still, I have to give the guy credit for hanging in there and using the criticism leveled against him to improve the operation he inherited from Mel Master over a year ago. He refocused on the work being done in his kitchen, changed his m
