For three months, we forked, spooned and knifed our way around the Mile High City, stuffing our gullets silly so we could bring you 100 of our favorite dishes in Denver. We started with the chicken fried steak from Lola and ended with the magnificent feijoada from Emporio do Brasil…

Pho Van Noodle Souper, the Vietnamese pho shop at 472 South Federal Boulevard, closed early last week — but the space won’t be closed for long. Red Claw Seafood and Wings, which took over the spot just before the lights went dark, opens this Friday, April 16, with a menu…
Pizza Hut, that bastion of American, has largely given up on the 320,000 citizens who inhabit the country of Iceland. The Hut’s departure is based purely on economic reasons, and not the fact that it’s difficult to deliver pies by dog-sled. Since the economy, like the sun, went south, Iceland’s…

Daphne TartNSweet, First Mate of The Nautilus, Colorado Rogues — seemed innocent enough. “We will be hosting our annual chili cook-off on April 10, 2010 and are looking for judges,” it said. “We seek three to five hearty carnivorous souls unafraid of…

This is Greekness in all its glory: spit-roasted lamb and crumbles of feta tucked into a warm pita picket, a Greek salad specked with oregano and sided with a small cup of Greek dressing and a little plastic container of tzatziki, tart, garlicky and delicious. Where did I get my…
The name on the storefront says it all — and then some: The Argentinean Restaurant Bar and Grill is coming to northwest Denver. And judging from the cleanup action yesterday, this joint could be just days away from opening. The building at 3555 West 38th Avenue is right around the…
Cafe Society served up four Guess Where I’m Eating/Drinking contests last week, featuring everything from Tony’s (the location at 950 Broadway is the only market in town where you can buy a glass of wine and drink it while shopping), to a still-unidentified plate of scampi to a beautiful tangle…
