Independent of his wife’s stance on healthy eating, here’s what we know about President Obama’s food preferences: He likes pizza, as evidenced by his recent jaunt to the Sink in Boulder; he has a special fondness for burgers, a fact that’s been documented in just about every city he’s graced,…
Bartender Ken Kodys left Colorado on September 3 for the 42Below Cocktail World Cup in New Zealand with one mission… to bring a third title back home. The bartending competition is our craft’s version of the Olympics, in which 21 of the world’s best bartenders representing six countries (and one…
Y’all, Mitt Romney ate at Chipotle earlier today. According to hungry and expert sources, the GOP’s main man stopped by the Stapleton location of the Colorado staple and chowed down on a burrito with black beans, pork and pico de gallo. He even added guac — which, as you know,…
The kid wanted crab legs; my dad wanted somewhere quiet. We settled, mistakenly, on this shrine to shitty seafood and fish, which was definitely quiet, presumably because everyone but us realized how much it well and truly sucks. And those crab legs? $28 of sea garbage. #canihavemymoneyback? Can you guess…
Malt, water, hops, yeast…and bull testicles. That’s the recipe for the ballsiest beer that Denver’s Wynkoop Brewing Company has made in its 24-year history, and one that it will start serving on October 8 during Great American Beer Festival week. Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout, which started off as an April…
This, says Robert Thompson, is the “most ambitious project I’ve seen in Denver in a long, long time, and I guarantee you that it’s going to be worth it.” “This” refers to Punch Bowl – Social Food & Drink, the 23,700-square-foot, 900-person-capacity gastro-diner, bowling alley, Ping-Pong hall, marbles arena, java…
Harry Smith, who has been making beer for Breckenridge Brewery for eleven years, will open his own place early next year — just a block away from where he now works. “I can go to work, and then go to work,” jokes Smith, who will stay with Breckenridge until he…

Since when does a 30 percent chance mean it’s actually going to rain? I mean, come on — this is Denver we’re talking about. I know we’re in a drought, but you’d think the clouds could have had the decency to hold their drops until the afternoon: Monday mornings are…
President Barack Obama has been drinking beer on the campaign trail, trying to convince undecided voters that he’s a regular guy. In 2008 Obama got branded a wine-slurper, but he’s got a distinct alcoholic advantage in this year’s race against teetotaling Mormon Mitt Romney. But as Jonathan Shikes notes, Obama…
Pizza Fusion, the pizza joint that opened last year at 571 East Colfax Avenue, now offers a monthly buy-one-get-one deal to raise awareness for social justice. On select dates throughout the year, customers can purchase any size pizza and get a second one of equal or lesser value for free…
The last time I was at this Middle Eastern restaurant, I left shrugging my shoulders, and while a return visit didn’t convince me that I’d struck gold, the food was far better than the first time around, and the server — just one guy overseeing the whole house — was…

President Obama has been making a point of drinking beer on the campaign trail this year, from Pennsylvania to Iowa to Florida. It was a sore spot for him in 2008 when he was seen more as a wine-slurper than an an everyday beer-drinking kind of fellow, but it’s a…
A poet could compose endless lines about the pleasures of eating, and infinitely more about being in love, but a sonnet could never quite capture what it’s like to experience both in an instant. It’s hard to describe how it feels to look someone in the eye during a meal…
Cafe Society served up four Guess Where? contests last week, ranging from a still-unidentified sub-par sub sandwich to a divine dessert platter at Bocadllo to a plate of carne adovada from a long-standing suburban Mexican joint…
Today was the original deadline for Jesse Morreale to make required repairs to the First Avenue Hotel in order to keep it open — a deadline set by the Board of Appeals on July 30, twenty days after the city had slapped the building with a notice to vacate, resulting…
The Denver dining scene saw plenty of action in September — much of it in the 900 block of Lincoln Street, where Japoix finally gave up the ghost in that haunted spot in the Beauvallon that had previously swallowed up Nine75. But other outfits haven’t been discouraged from the area,…
