I consider myself a stalker of sandwiches — of other things, too, like any cheese from Cypress Grove, the Infinite Monkey Theorem’s just-released rosé and midgets — but when I find a really good sandwich, like the Sriracha aioli-smeared shrimp and bacon number in the above pic, I want to…

The Airstream trailer that will hawk Top Chef Season 5 winner Hosea Rosenberg’s tricked-out street food has yet to hit the road, but his business partner, Laura Rice, already has bigger plans. Think global, eat mobile, urges the Streat Chefs website…

The era of the food truck is heading right for us, with a few kitchens already roaming the streets, supplementing less mobile, but no less hip, enterprises like Biker Jim’s, the Gastro Cart and Pinche Tacos. Use Twitter and Facebook to find out when and where you can sample these…
The Highland Tavern is an enigma. Wrapped in a mystery. Covered in pork. The food sounds like quintessential tavern-type fare, but it’s so much better-tasting than typical tavern food that I feel like I should dub the place a “gastrotavern.” I’m pretty sure the owners would sneer at such snobbery,…
I have a standard response when people ask whether I’m any good at golf. I tell them, “I’m good enough to not embarrass myself, but not good enough to keep score.” I’m happy with this reality. Sure, I could hand down the hand-me-down clubs I’ve had for a decade, splurge…
Boulderites have been going to the West End Tavern for years to sample its distinguished selection of craft brews, including some hard to find specialties. But beginning on June 20, the West End will be taking its customers to the beer…
There’s something fun about tracking down a food truck via a cryptic address posted on a Twitter feed, then finally pulling into a parking lot and spotting a tattooed arm protruding from a big pink coach, passing out paper plates loaded with food. It’s like a treasure hunt. For tacos…
Just add water! So say the instructions for two new vegetarian meat products now available from Fort Collins-based Harmony Valley Foods. Not exactly the most appetizing way to imagine your next burger, but according to the company, the overall energy savings of its fake meat mixes handily beat out that…
Watch your backside, Hooters. BenchWarmers is coming for you. The up and coming Colorado-based sports bar chain, “where beautiful girls will serve you fantastic food, cold beer, and cocktails as you enjoy an uninterrupted view of the game” already has two restaurants in Aurora and Erie and will open a…
Just got off the horn with Dylan Moore, who was out of breath. “I’m taking all the wrapping off the new truck,” he panted. Moore, the owner of Deluxe, Delite and Deluxe Burger, just got himself a new present, namely a “cool, old van with a kitchen inside” that he…
The Porker, Chad Clevenger’s street cart, is nearly ready to push pig. “We’re going to have everything from tequila-habanero barbecue ribs and pork tamales to sweet-soy roasted pork belly with a cold soba noodle salad and smoked Kurobuta pork cheeks with feijoada beans and Verde Farms micro cilantro,” says Clevenger,…

If you read this blog, then you know all about my affinity for Mexican street tacos. They’re my midnight snack, morning grub, desert island survival kit and, in all likelihood, my last supper. I typically order tacos al pastor, a habit that I didn’t break at the joint where the…

It’s hot on the first day of June, and the vast courtyard at the intersection of the 16th Street Mall and Arapahoe Street is crowded. Business people in A-line skirts and pleated khakis are eating their to-go lunches at sunny tables, soaking up a few minutes of real weather outside…
Brooklynite Manny Howard gaves new meaning to the term “urban farming”: He took his 800-square-foot back yard and turned it into the first working farm in Brooklyn in generations. His goal: to subsist for a month on what he could produce on his farm. As anyone who’s ever owned a…
Summer in Colorado means beer and, even better, beer festivals — from the Chili Pepper & Brew Fest in Snowmass to the Rails & Ales Brewfest outside Alamosa to the Summer Brew Fest in Denver — bringing together the sloppy drunk and the snobbiest, cultured beer connoisseurs in disharmonious consumption…
Coffee culture in Denver has finally arrived. Hot Chick-a-Latte, one of a couple of “bikini coffee” concepts from the Pacific Northwest has opened a bright pink location (well, mostly pink; they seem to have run out of paint half way through) in the A-frame building at 4736 East Colfax Avenue…
