I’m picky — really picky — about my scrambled eggs, which I always order soft and which, more often than not, arrive every way but that way. The exception are the scrambled eggs in the above snap, which the kitchen always prepares beautifully, even when it’s weeded with tickets and…

Angelina Soleno, who recently opened University Groundz Coffee House at 2493 South University Boulevard, won’t say where she gets her breakfast burritos — only that they come from a secret spot in Brighton and are “the best breakfast burritos anywhere in Denver.” She’s wrong about that (the best breakfast burritos…

The horses will be running at Churchill Downs this weekend, which means you’ll soon find yourself digging through the hall closet for the biggest hat you can find and, later, rooting your ass off for a thoroughbred named after a minor character from The Great Gatsby, only to realize halfway…
Hat’s off to a Cafe Society reader who tipped us to the unfortunate demise of Aviano Coffee at 955 Lincoln Street in the beleaguered Beauvallon building. A woman who answered a call to Aviano yesterday gave a “no comment” when asked about the closure, but then said details would be…

Up until very recently, my favorite breakfast burrito, which we smothered with accolades in Westword’s Best of Denver 2010, came from Pico de Gallo Mexican Grill.

After resisting for years, Cucina Colore has caved to pressure and started a happy hour. They never really needed it, says general manager Chris Millette.
