Are you going to eat that?” I asked, eyeing the golden-brown crust my companion had abandoned after she’d eaten the rest of the slice, the part with all the toppings. She glanced at me. “Uh, no,” she said, then looked away, as though I was embarrassing her. I was too…
Just a few blocks away from Hops and Pie, another spot is taking a crack at elevating the classic pizza-and-brew pairing. Stingray Lounge, which opened two months ago in the former home of Gelman’s-cum-Boston-Fish-Shack, is the most recent effort from Leigh Jones and Margaret Moore, the duo behind Jonesy’s EatBar,…
The weather may still be slightly schizophrenic, but most of the restaurants along the 16th Street Mall have started hosting diners and drinkers on their patios. And tonight, the Southwest Porch at Skyline Park, which debuted last September at the base of the D & F Clock Tower, will join…
About a month ago, Yellow Deli started hawking Reuben sandwiches, veggie burgers and fresh-squeezed juice from its Boulder kitchen at 908 Pearl Street. But that’s not all the menu offers: It also serves the Fruit of the Spirit — a biblical term that encompasses the nine visible attributes of a…
I recently learned a valuable lesson in the kitchen after serving a horrible meal to some hungry friends: Be prepared…
Having trouble sleeping? Rather than popping an Ambien, why not have a melatonin-laced brownie?…
It’s American Craft Beer Week, and that’s all some of you want or need to know about this week in food and drink. But there’s lots more going on this week, including more Triple Crown fun, wine dinners and much more. Here’s what’s on the menu:…
Here, at this temple of noodles, dumplings and potstickers, it was a who’s who of Denver chefs, servers and bartenders, all of whom packed the house on Sunday, along with just about everyone else in Denver undeterred by the thirty-minute wait for a table. Can you guess where I’m eating?…
Moments after I’d pulled over to take the above snap, somewhat excited that South Gaylord Street — the street on which I live — was getting a new restaurant (and, suggestively, a liquor license), I opened my mail, only to find a full page rant, penned by the South Gaylord…
It goes without saying that I spend most of my days and nights in restaurants — which has been the story of my life for the past fifteen years or so, ever since I began writing about food. But truth be told, cooking is my therapeutic outlet; the kitchen, my…
Cafe Society served up four Guess Where contests last week, including this still-unidentified dish of spinach (creamed or not) , a disappointing rainy-day Reuben at Ship Tavern, and this innovative check-holder (and a giveaway tab). For being the first to tag that tab to La Fogata, Wermer wins at EatDenver…

On Wednesday, regular readers of the Denver Post food section were startled to find a column devoted to blind items — and no answers. Was it a bid to get comments? If so, it failed there — but the comments have been flying here since Lori Midson posted Leigh Sullivan-Guard’s…

We’ve seen booze-y caviar, alcoholic foam and whipped cream packed with liquor, but now there’s another weird way we can get our alcoholic intake: Gin paper. And yes, that means parchment you can actually scribble on — and then eat…
Amie Arias has been in the restaurant industry for years, but when she decided to start her own venture, she picked up an ’86 Chevy Hi Cube with one goal in mind: to roll out a mobile enterprise hawking vegan treats — and she’s doing exactly that, even naming her…
In Best of Denver 2011, we named Common Grounds the Best Coffeehouse for Finding a Date, thanks to its constant crowd of young professionals who mingle over cappuccinos. But because we’re big proponents of ditching online dating and blind set-ups every now and then in favor of meeting people the…

There’s a moment on stage when Kyle Hollingsworth just lets go. It’s a crucial moment, especially for a jam-style musician who relies on his instinct and his skill when he’s performing to help lead the band in the right direction. The same is true for brewing beer, says Hollingsworth, a…
At this venerable Mexican joint, where big plates of carnitas, tacos, burritos and flautas stamp the menu, la cuenta, por favor, arrives, appropriately, in an El Pato salsa tin. Muchas gracias. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Where…
Restaurateurs all over the state will be raising a glass at 3 pm. today, when Governor John Hickenlooper officially signs Senate Bill 60 into law…at the Old Chicago at 145 Union Boulevard in Lakewood. But then, the setting makes sense, since this is the measure that will allow bars and…
