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…

“We had a great, great evening last night, and the best thing about it was that Z and A’ Côté were both really busy,” says Lynnde DePays of Z Cuisine’s first night back in business. Lynnde and Patrick, her husband and the Z Cuisine chef, had closed their French bistro…

There are people in this town that go loco for queso, and while dozens of restaurants do it, most of them don’t do it particularly well. The queso in the above snap falls somewhere in the middle, its most notable attribute, the pronounced jolt of hot chiles. Can you guess…

After a glitchy start of the month, our comments function is working again — and readers are putting it to good use, commenting on everything from Denver Restaurant Week (best and/or worst stories will win an EatDenver deck) to cranky carnivores. And then there’s Kyle Garratt’s latest In the Weeds…
