Stir Cooking School, the lovechild of Katy Hume, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, will unmask a new Denver culinary academy, focusing on kitchen techniques for the home cook, on November 20, at 3215 Zuni Street in Highland…
The Denver International Wine Festival celebrated year six with a VIP tour of Front Range wineries and Roundhouse Spirits — a tour that began Saturday with plenty of wine, ended with plenty of gin, and stuffed the middle with gourmet nibbles and a glut of info from a trip to…
Residents of the neighborhood where this restaurant/bar resides were out in full force on a recent Friday night, handing out back-pats, handshakes and compliments to one of the owners, who recommended the fried pickles, which, like everything else we tried, were proof that when the kitchen gets it right, naysayers…
Some enticing photos have been posted on Facebook by Bryan Dayton and Steve Redzikowski, depicting the new kitchen, dining room and bar of Oak at 14th, going into 1400 Pearl Street in Boulder. The photos are especially exciting because they show a complete restaurant. Which means that opening day of…
It’s that time of year again, when chefs from all over the country send out e-mails begging their loyal customers to nominate them for a James Beard Foundation Award, otherwise known as the “Oscars of the food universe.”…
In the photo above, you see an array of beauty products — vegan beauty products — that are animal-cruelty-free, oxide-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free. And they could be entirely free for you! We have bottles of hair cleanser, conditioner, body wash, hair masque and hydrating body oil to give away –…
When Adam Lerner moved to the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, he brought with him the fabulous Mixed Taste program he’d started at Belmar, which pairs lectures on two very different topics in a delicious culture clash. Tonight’s double dip, which starts with drinks at 6 p.m. and the event…
Pam and Charlie Nathan, proprietors of the Blue Cow in Morrison, have added a pop-art installation right above the entrance to their building: a blue spotted cow driving through Red Rocks…
Domino’s Pizza is as American as apple pie — and just as starchy. The pizza purveyor has been all over American TV, telling us how good it is; now it looks as though Domino’s strategy of brainwashing the masses has been exported to the Land of the Rising Sun. Domino’s…

It was a hot summer day when I first encountered the magic of the Inventing Room. I’d hiked several blocks from the office to Tiri’s Garden, the downtown lot where a gaggle of mobile vendors had started making regular stops. Ian Kleinman’s cart was among them, that day serving everything…
Everyone, it seems, misses everything about Bump & Grind: the barely-dragged-themselves-out-of-bed queen servers of the weekend Petticoat Bruncheon, with their battery-operated, neighing horse-cock socks; the Mexican Benedict Arnold and Eric Eggs Estrada; the filthy coloring books. Though I’d been (and even brought my mother) to Bump & Grind on a…
Just over a year ago, when I spoke with Gabriela Bossy, the owner of Cilantro Fusion, a south-of-the-border storefront at 1531 Stout Street, she was optimistic that her Mexican joint would woo downtowners with its green chile, mole enchiladas and Oaxacan huevos rancheros. “We’ve been so busy, and I know…
Apparently those threatened police stings — the ones ingrained into every server’s head during training — are real. Boulder’s Mateo, 1837 Pearl Street, was a victim of the college town’s undercover attempt to crack down on underage drinking, and it looks like the restaurant didn’t pass…
The Wynkoop Brewing Company, 1634 18th Street, plans to make a special beer in January to coincide with John Hickenlooper’s inauguration as Colorado’s governor. Hickenlooper co-founded the Wynkoop in 1988 and ran it until he decided to run for Denver mayor in 2002. His connection with the company ended during…
There are as many styles of beer blogging on the Internet as there are blogs, and there’s a new beer blog starting out there every other day. Last weekend, at least a hundred of those bloggers — from all across the country — showed up in Boulder to talk beer…
After a rambunctious Saturday night that resulted in a head-pounding hangover, I stumbled out of bed on Sunday morning desperate for nourishment. I wasn’t feeling menudo, dim sum, posole or, God forbid, liquor, but I was craving bread, which is how I ended up spending nearly $30 on croissants, blue-cheese-and…
On Saturday night, the ritzy new Four Seasons hotel, which opened on October 19, hosted one of the most amazing blowout parties of the year, attracting well over 1,000 movers and shakers, who forked over $325 each to partake in the revelry, which included stilt walkers, a mechanical bull, aerial…
Craft-beer tasting, bison butchering and wine dinners top the list of things to do this week, but there’s plenty more on the menu if those options don’t whet your appetite. Here’s a taste of what’s ahead:…
Q Worldly Barbecue and Lounge, the subterranean house of smoked pig, international sauces, corn fritters and live blues bands, shuttered on Sunday after two and half years in Cherry Creek. “The short version is that the crappy economy and all the summer construction that was going on in Cherry Creek…
Last month the Kitchen’s Hugo Matheson and Kimbal Musk picked up the lease on along, narrow spot at 1035 Pearl Street in Boulder, where, come spring, they’ll open the Kitchen Cafe, a pub steeped in the food values of the Kitchen. In doing so, they’ll try to rid the spot…
We’ve long been fans of happy hour at the Boulder outpost of Jax Fish House, 928 Pearl Street, where we can put down dozens of cold, briny oysters at just a dollar a pop. But if it’s seafood you’re after, the kitchen once run by Top Chef Season 5 winner…
