Visit Denver launched the menus for the 2015 Denver Restaurant Week on its website today to help get Denver diners salivating for ten days (no, not a week!) of discounted meals at the city’s top restaurants. This year’s Restaurant Week will take place from February 20 to March 1, encompassing…
It’s a crisp winter day at the Bark Bar, and the wind carries the sounds of light conversation and animal happiness. A few muted barks are heard as the dogs in the yard roughhouse and roll in the dirt while their owners look on, beers in hand. Dogs running free…
If you ever feel like you’re half asleep being dragged out to brunch, the fantasy-like ambiance of Beatrice & Woodsley will do nothing in the sense of waking you from your daydream. But that’s okay, because this is one “cabin in the woods” where we don’t mind wasting away the…
Food & Wine just offered a list of seven “breweries to watch” in 2015, and included Longmont’s Oskar Blues, along with a few other big names. And while the magazine focused on the brewery’s recent East Coast expansion, as well as a planned addition in Colorado, there’s another reason to…
Bartender Allison Widdecombe of Williams & Graham just took first place at the Woodford Reserve Manhattan Experience, a nationwide competition held at the Bowery Hotel in New York City on Monday. “I’ve been so close to winning a national cocktail competition,” says Widdecombe. “It was just a matter of time.”…
Tyson Holzheimer Butcher’s Bistro 303-296-2750 2233 Larimer Street Tyson Holzheimer grew up in Montana, in a family where do-it-yourself was a necessity rather than a passing trend. “I first skinned an animal when I was ten,” he recalls. Using a knife to separate muscle from skin and bone was just…
The Bistro at Stapleton 2955 Ulster Street 303-388-9463 Over the past fifteen years, Stapleton has morphed from a land of tumbleweed and prairie dogs to a thriving community, with enough houses to constitute its own suburb. Though the development has been a success, the restaurant scene in this corner of…

Ian Kleinman is back at it, applying his molecular magic to another batch of breakfast treats at his fourth doughnut pop-up — this time at Sunnyside Burger Bar in LoHi. Kleinman, known for his Inventing Room food lab and catering company, will be whipping up his biggest menu yet –…
Colorado is the nation’s leading grower of millet, a grain used mostly for birdseed but that’s cropping up in more and more recipes, due in part to the fact that it’s gluten-free and is a good source of protein, at 11 grams per serving (compared to protein powerhouse quinoa at…
From the recent proliferation of wood ovens turning out pitch-perfect renditions of the street pizzas of Naples, Italy, to odd interlopers from Wisconsin, Georgia and Washington, Colorado’s pizza options have exploded in recent years. Purists and transplants may still wave off Denver as a second-rate pizza town, but there’s no…
Unless you’re a loyal reader who gets all your restaurant news from Westword (and if you are, thank you!), you’ve no doubt noticed that Denver Post critic William Porter and I seem to be tracing each other’s footsteps. Over the past few months, we’ve had reviews of the same restaurant…
Walking into Pablo’s Coffee cafe in the Alamo Placita neighborhood, you’ll notice the noise: not that it’s too loud, but it’s louder than other cafes because everyone is talking — to the baristas, to each other, and to strangers. There are a few people on computers or reading, but for…
Pupuseria San Salvador sits in a small strip mall a few blocks south of Denver city limits, along a stretch of Federal Boulevard that doesn’t exactly invite culinary exploration.

Denver International Airport continues to top lists of U.S. airports known for healthy eating and quality restaurants. The latest addition to a stable that already includes Elway’s, Root Down, Etai’s Bakery Cafe (formerly Udi’s) and two New Belgium tap rooms (the Hub and the Spoke) shouldn’t hurt the airport’s reputation,…
The Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines Fetival celebrated its fifteenth anniversary in Vail last weekend with a series of seminars, tastings, dinners and a commercial tasting event that brings together some of the biggest, most rare beers in the country. But even as the three-day fest has grown, it has…
Early 2015 is already proving to be a curious time for food aficionados, and it isn’t like 2014 was boring, either. Last year ended with weird hot dogs, an avalanche of cronuts and fast-food restaurants squirting sriracha and maple syrup on almost everything. A month into the new year, we…
The Ward Cleaver Mercantile Dining & Provision 1701 Wynkoop Street 720-460-3733 You may have tasted Stuart Jensen’s cooking; he has worked in kitchens at Cholon Modern Asian Bistro, TAG and a few Boulder eateries. But he’s since transitioned to his current role behind the bar and is now bar manager…
Two Vietnamese stalwarts on Federal Boulevard have changed hands. DaLat Vietnamese Cuisine was purchased last last year, then closed for a renovation and reopened on New Year’s Eve with a new look but the same chef who’s been putting out refined and delicious dishes — like the intense flavors of…
