Two nights ago at the MCA Denver Art Meets Beast butchering demonstration, Pete Marczyk and Jimmy “the Butcher” Cross, both of Marczyk Fine Foods, deftly dismembered a medieval-size bison carcass in front of a mesmerized crowd.

When Kevin Morrison, owner of the Pinche Tacos wagon, called to break the news that he was thisclose to signing a deal that would give him a new brick-and-mortar taqueria, I did what any devout taco slut would do and offered to be his taco pimp. Morrison, who ruffled a…

Two words: Bone marrow. Bone marrow, I might add, that my ten-year-old kid — who, like most kids his age, normally subsists on pizza, pasta, burgers and bacon — refused to share. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s…

Running from the rain/sleet/snow/graupel/hail of yesterday, I ducked into one of my favorite restaurants, grabbed a stool at the bar, knocked back a Mirror Pond Pale Ale and tucked into a quartet of cheeses, all of which are made from the milk of water buffalo. Can you guess where I’m…

After a rambunctious Saturday night that resulted in a head-pounding hangover, I stumbled out of bed on Sunday morning desperate for nourishment.
