Yesterday was only its second showing at Civic Center Eats, but for the second week in a row, Walt’s Mobile Bistro scored the biggest sales at the weekly who’s who of street food , says owner and truck namesake Chris Walter. Haven’t heard about Walt’s? You’re not the only one…
It was a sad day for Denver coffee connoisseurs when Doug and Saadia Naiman, owners of Aviano Coffee, finally gave up on their bitter struggle with the beleaguered Beauvallon condo complex and closed the doors on their posh coffee shop in April. But now caffeine junkies can raise their espresso…

Over the weekend, I settled into my usual routine of eating — only on Sunday, this entailed stuffing (and stupefying) my belly with dishes from more than twenty restaurants hawking their grub at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, where I was a culinary judge alongside SAME Cafe’s Brad and Libby…
Pizzeria Basta is not the kind of place you stumble upon. You’d never find it if you weren’t looking, unless you happened to be perusing property in one of Boulder’s still half-empty upscale eco-housing complexes. The small restaurant is tucked into an invisible courtyard, flanked by colorful industrial jigsaw puzzle…
KaTcH Fish House opened just a month ago, but its owners are already moving forward on plans to open additional Colorado locations — and more.

While everyone else in Denver was lighting up the sky with explosive fireworks over the weekend, I managed to sneak in a quiet dinner with a friend at a neighborhood hang whose near-empty dining room was in no way indicative of my hanger steak, squeaky green beans and twice-baked potato,…
I can’t be the only person who got served multiple frostbitten glasses of sauvignon blanc during last month’s heat wave. Now that we’ve turned the corner into July where an onslaught of sweltering happy hours await us, we can only pray for salvation from glasses full of limp Rioja and…
He might hang out at cocaine- and sex-fueled parties on South Park, but in real life, you’re more likely to report that local Fox News anchor Ron Zappolo is savoring saltimbocca and sipping red wine at his favorite Denver restaurant, Venice Ristorante and Wine Bar. You could ask Zappolo time…
One of the hardest reservations to get in Boulder County these days isn’t even in a restaurant. It’s on a farm. Meadowlark Farm Dinners is a roving troupe of chefs and servers that pack their cookware into a bus and make meals of seasonal ingredients at the farms from whence…
Cafe Society served up five Guess Where I’m Eating/Drinking contests last week, featuring everything from rotisserie lamb at SALT to a vegetable dish at a still-unidentified Indian restaurant to this dessert at the new Sienna Wine Bar.

Those are stacked enchiladas, and you’ll either immediately recognize where they came from, or you’ll be completely stumped. Here’s a clue: Up until just a few weeks ago, you had no choice but to inhale them from the confines of a comfortably grungy, dimly lit bar that doubles as a…
Just in time for the weekend, here’s a meat-filled recipe for the grill. Ingredients:- 3 all-beef franks- 1/2 pound of bacon- ground beef…
“What’s the Tour de France?” asked the guy who picked up the phone at the Celtic Tavern. “I don’t know what that is, but I’m sure if you come in and ask, we’ll turn it on,” said a young woman who answered the phone at Big Game. Cycling enthusiasts are…
This Independence Day, we won’t be fighting crowds in public areas, risking a ticket for an open container or grilling our own meat for all the neighbors. Instead, we’re going to watch celebratory explosions in the sky while getting fat, drunk and happy on a patio around town. If you’re…
Maybe I’m just a cynic, but yesterday, while getting lost in the suburban sprawl of Northfield Stapleton, I passed by the sign in the above pic announcing the impending arrival of Guy Harvey’s Perfect Spot Bar & Grille — and I heaved. Maybe it was the ridiculously perfect hair, the…
