A sixth Five Guys coming to Colorado Boulevard?

Barack Obama loves Five Guys, the 400-outlet burger chain that got its start in D.C.; Jason Sheehan wasn't such a big fan when he did a taste test of Aurora's Five Guys and the Counter down in Park Meadows. Sheehan was such a not-big fan that he returned to Five Guys, to see what all the buzz was ... More >>

A wake for Auld Dubliner

This town has a real shortage of good Irish bars -- as Jason Sheehan lamented in his review of Celtic Tavern -- and we just lost another one.  Last night employees of the Auld Dubliner held a wake for the pub at 2796 South Broadway that we'd celebrated in a St. Patrick's Day list of Iris ...

The List: Six great spots along Sixth Avenue

Last week, Jason Sheehan returned to Table 6 -- a restaurant that he found even closer to perfect than the last time he reviewed it, back in November 2004, when Esquire's Jay Mariani had just named it one of the 21 best new restaurants in the country. The ownership has changed since then, but Tabl ... More >>

New digs in the new year for 3 Sons

Just got off the phone with one of the managers at 3 Sons, which is all decorated for the holidays.

An alternate view on the upcoming robot apocalypse

I must take a moment to respond to my esteemed colleague Dr. Jason Sheehan, Chief Intelligence Officer of HARDON, who has, in his usual semi-coherent way, attempted to offer some thoughts on the so-called upcoming robot apocalypse. In full disclosure, I find Dr. Sheehan informative and amusing in a ... More >>

Coors pulls Sparks off the market, drunk teens everywhere cry caffeinated tears

Bowing to pressure from attorneys general and advocacy groups, MillerCoors announced it is removing the caffeinated magic from its alcho-energy drink Sparks. It's a sad, sad day for amateur drinkers looking for that perfect mix between booze, a double-espresso and Sweet Tarts. Luckily, I was able ... More >>

Smashburger is a smash in Wichita

Today, Wichita. Tomorrow, the world. Smashburger -- with its secret process that creates what Jason Sheehan called "meat candy" -- has been a smash since the Colorado-based concept opened its first restaurant at 1120 South Colorado Boulevard two years ago.Since then, the owners have opened s ...

Cafe Bisque now simply Bisque

When Cafe Bisque opened at 224 Union Boulevard in Lakewood in 2003, Westword food reviewer Jason Sheehan was initially unimpressed with the confused New American menu, but after a return trip in October, he came to appreciate some of chef Alex Gurevich's menu items, most notably the rich, creamy lob ...

Don't swim in this Aquarium

It's a thought that haunts the over-stimulated, over-movied imagination: a school of hungry piranhas eating you alive. And while our Café writer Jason Sheehan would have preferred that fate to the time he spent at the restaurant inside the Downtown Aquarium (see "Finding Nemo," his 2005 review), s ... More >>

CityGrille gets a crash course

Those "Best Burger" banners over CityGrille, at 321 East Colfax Avenue, got plenty of play last week when TV newscasts reported on a Colfax car accident November 24 that sent a car careening into the doorway. The bar/burger joint had to close for the night to assess the damage, but it reopened the ... More >>
