I saw this bumper sticker affixed to a light pole outside a brewery in a little mountain town last week, but the brewery wasn’t Rosie’s Brewpub and the town wasn’t Leadville. Instead, someone had decided to celebrate Rosie’s, which closed May 30, just a few feet from the front door…
Okay, so I know that today’s photo could have been taken just about anywhere, so I’m going to help you narrow down your choices. Ah, hell, forget it. You’re all a smart bunch. You know the drill: Post your guesses in the comment section below.PS: It’s not Cherry Cricket…
Tonight, at 7 p.m., Firenze a Tavola, the charming basement level Italian restaurant just below Parisi, at 4401 Tennyson Street, is hosting Fabio Flagiello, an Italian chef who’s done time in numerous kitchens in Italy, France, Boston and California, including Risibisi restaurant in Petaluma, which was ballyhooed in the 2008…
Not surprisingly, just as there were no authentic Mexican restaurants in Rochester when I was young, there were no sushi bars, either. And definitely no sushi drive-thrus, even though sushi started out as fast food. Long before Ray Kroc came squalling into this world, preserved fish and balls of rice…
Colt & Gray, the new farm-to-table gastropub at 1553 Platte Street, was meant to open its doors and roll out its effin’ killer menu over the Fourth of July weekend, but much to my disappointment, the opening has been delayed. “We were hoping to do a soft opening over the…
The Lancer Lounge is crowded, but you can sidle up to the bar easily. Which is sort of surprising, given that it’s “panic hour,” where well drinks and draft beer are free. I guess it helps that it’s 10 p.m. on a Monday — no time for an upstanding citizen…
Cans of Breckenridge Brewery’s Avalanche Ale began rolling out of the plant this week and into liquor stores, just in time to catch the heart of the summer season. Breckenridge, which is borrowing its canning line from Ska Brewing Company in Durango, will also supply concert venues, golf courses and…
I rarely drink rum, but during a recent dinner at an unnamed Denver restaurant whose food happens to pair very well with rum, I broke off my commitment to wine and beer and sipped several sniffers of the potent stuff, which seemed like a smart idea at the time, but…
The Fourth of July may have meant fireworks and beer for you, but for nineteen lucky competitors, the big day signified only one thing: hot dogs. Out on Coney Island, New York, on the corner of Surf and Stillwell avenues, the winners of Nathan’s hot dog eating qualifiers around the…
Tom Eschino used to work as a medical marketer. He would send his homemade cookies to doctors as a thank-you for their business, but things turned sour when he was laid off last year. Eschino says the cookies were partly to blame — the company claimed he put in too…
At 4 p.m. this afternoon, just in time for happy hour, MiniBAR, the Milk Dud-size space at 222 Columbine Street, is hosting a wine and food pairing on the patio featuring Scarpetta wines from Frasca Food & Wine master sommelier Bobby Stuckey and exec chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson who, together, co-own…
Okay, so I stopped by the new Denver Pizza Company yesterday, which, as you’ve no doubt heard (or read), is the pie-hole of kicked-to-the-curb bachelor Mark Huebner, the 27-year-old contestant on this season’s The Bachelorette, who got robbed of a rose back in June.Bummer. Anyway, Huebner, a Chicago native and…
According to Clemente Martinez, the owner of Brandon’s Pub (the strange Mexican sports bar at 955 Lincoln Street that went dark last week), his place wasn’t closing so much as taking a brief vacation. He insisted that the plan was to take a short hiatus, cool himself off a little…
Il Posto, the Italian trattoria at 2011 East 17th Street, already has expanded hours (at least, by Denver standards), offering dinner Sunday through Thursday until 11:30 p.m. and until midnight on Friday and Saturday, and now, the buzzy Uptown restaurant has stretched its daily happy hour to include an extra…
Denver will get a new tap house later this summer when Eric Warner opens the Rackhouse Pub in the building recently purchased by Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. Warner, the former head of Flying Dog Brewery (which moved from Denver to Maryland in 2008), says the place will have fifty beer handles…
Here’s some good news for all you East Coasters homesick for a bona fide crab boil: Beginning this week, Jax Fish House, the Denver restaurant shrine to all things aquatic at 1539 17th Street, is throwing crab boils on its patio for groups of four or more. The boils, priced…
If you took all the foods I loved the most and compiled them on a plate, this is what that plate would look like…before I licked it clean. If you can’t figure out where this lovely example of a charcuterie platter resides, click around Cafe Society for clues and post…
Chris Cina’s had some bad luck lately, with his last gig at Twig’s Wine Bar and Pickles Deli in Tipsy’s, a gigantic liquor store in Littleton, drying up fast last fall. And that was after an absolutely disastrous attempt to open T. Kelly’s at 1361 Court Place. Still, Cina’s got…
Cinna-Graham Honey-Comb Post Rating: Three spoons out of four Cereal description: The ingredients for these these thick, hefty, seven-holed wheels include corn flour, oat flour, assorted vitamins, caramel coloring that makes the bits a tad darker than original recipe Honey-Comb, and not much more. It’s one of the shorter rosters…
While some people are enjoying the great outdoors this weekend, others of us are enjoying the greatest of the indoors: dark, dissolute bars. Where am I drinking?…
