For my last meal of Denver Restaurant Week, which ended on Friday, I hit up a joint that did everything right — a joint that turned out a terrific menu stockpiled with all of my favorite things, including a dish with gnocchi, carrots, brisket and cabbage. Can you guess where…

Denver Restaurant Week kicked off on February 26, and while tonight is the last official opportunity to take advantage of DRW (some restaurants are extending the offer through the weekend), it’s still not too late to snag a seat at one of the 300 food temples offering multi-course feasts. As…

Talk about bitter irony. A mere two days after Oak at Fourteenth, one of Boulder’s best new restaurants and bars, erupted in blazes after a “false” ceiling of the restaurant caught on fire, Food & Wine magazine released its listage of the country’s best new bars — and Oak at…

That, people, is some of the most amazing pizza I’ve sunk my teeth into in years — not just in Denver, but anywhere. Thin-crusted, paved with an herb-laden sauce, tricked-out with just the right amount of cheese, topped with quality ingredients and greasy in all the good ways, it’s fitting…

St. Paddy’s Day isn’t until next Thursday, but already, Fadó Irish Pub and Restaurant, the behemoth Irish-themed watering hole, roughly the size of Dublin, is gearing up to paint the town green — starting with your bald head…

Denver Restaurant Week officially began on February 26, and with it, bargain-priced multi-course menus, some including alcoholic libations, from hundreds of the top food temples in and around Denver. DRW officially wraps up tonight, and the most difficult decision, of course, is where to plunk down your plastic for your…

Way too often, I’m steered in the wrong direction by leaving my food fate in the hands of a server (or counter person), mostly because I can’t make up my mind, which is no one’s fault but my own. Still, it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth when…

Denver Restaurant Week kicked off on February 26, and while rezzies are filling up fast, especially now that we’re in the final stretch, it’s still not too late to snag a seat at one of the 300 food temples offering multi-course feasts between now and tomorrow. Tonight is no exception…

To the electrician who completely fucked up Biker Jim’s opening, you pretty much suck. Jim Pittenger, aka Biker Jim, was all set to fling open the doors of his new brick-and-mortar, Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, on St. Paddy’s Day, but thanks to a half-ass electrician, the sausage slayer has had…

In part one of that interview, Cisa dished on monumental cooking disasters, Euclid Hall’s boudin noir and the impossible thirty-minute…

Denver Restaurant Week kicked off nearly two weeks ago, and while rezzies are filling up fast, it’s not too late to snag a seat at one of the 300 food temples offering multi-course feasts between now and Friday, when it all comes to an end. Tonight is no exception. As…

The pudgy, misshapen flying saucers in the above snap, draped with a potent tahini sauce and sided with rods of blushing turnip pickles, are some of Denver’s best falafel — scratch-made, herby and greaseless. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to…

Mark “sausage czar” DeNittis, owner of Il Mondo Vecchio, founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute of Meat, and one of the newest members of FIVE, has just signed on with Cook Street School of Culinary Arts to launch a state-accredited butchery certification program — the only one in Colorado. The…

Four of us went out last night for Denver Restaurant Week, although only one of us ordered the DRW menu, which didn’t include the foie gras sandwich and accompanying duck egg, beautifully graced with caviar and petals of black truffles, that set us back $52.80. Yes, you read that correctly:…

Jensen Cummings, the chef de cuisine at TAG, jokingly calls Denver Restaurant Week “Denver Restaurant Half Month,” a phrase he’s coined to remind diners (and the service industry) that DRW is definitely longer than the one week its name implies. But if DRW was, in fact, one week long, then…

Sputnik, the hipper-than-thou Baker ‘hood bar, renowned for its hangover weekend brunch, live music acts and globetrotting menu catering (mostly) to vegetarians and vegans, has gone dark, at least until tomorrow, when the tatted ‘tenders can begin pouring booze again. Seems as though the groovy watering hole got itself into…

On the night of Saturday, March 5, a man who clearly likes to eat and the two children accompanying him, waddled through the doors of Virgilio’s Pizzeria & Wine Bar, shoved a feast down their greedy gullets, and ditched the bill — and Virgilio Urbano, who owns the restaurant, caught…

Denver Restaurant Week kicked off on Saturday, and while rezzies are filling up fast, it’s not too late to snag a seat at one of the nearly 300 food temples offering multi-course feasts between now and March 11. Tonight is no exception. As of 5:30 p.m., there were prime-time spots…

No. 65: Luther burger from Crave The scene at Crave, especially on weekends, can be complete pandemonium, with bodies crushed to the walls, standing in wait to wrap their jaws around what may very well be the most off-the-wall burger inventions this city has ever seen. Head burger boss Micah…
