Guess where I'm eating kabobs?

When I called to order take-out from this Middle Eastern restaurant (no, it's not Jerusalem!), I couldn't make a decision, so the incredibly patient man who answered the phone suggested that I just throw caution to the kitchen and let the staff decide what to put on the plate. They didn't let me dow ... More >>

Medical marijuana dispensary review: Citi-Med in south Denver

With nearby Serenity Moon pushed out of its location on University at Asbury earlier this year, Citi-Med is easily the closest medical marijuana center to the heart of the DU campus.

Jerusalem is a veggie-friendly oasis on Evans

Even on off-hours on most weekdays, the patio is half-full and there are several occupied tables inside the tiny restaurant -- which indicates that Jerusalem is either near a university or is really tasty. Or, in this case, both.

Cruising for baklava: a honey of a mission

​Not long ago, I wrote an ode to the joys of the baklava at Ali Baba Grill in Golden. Soon after, we had another piece -- a Sugar High report -- concerning the baklava at Jerusalem. And then I got this note from Jeff, the baklava maker at Phoenician Kabob (5709 East Colfax Avenue):
