There’s not much to look at in the dining room of Hong Kong Barbecue, a modestly decorated spot in the middle of a South Federal Boulevard strip mall. So while you wait for your food, your eyes inevitably fix on the glowing case of glistening roasted ducks spotlighted in one…
As Kevin Morrison drew up plans for Pinche Taqueria, a brick-and-mortar version of his Pinche Tacos food truck, he gave a lot of thought to how to best use his newly acquired liquor license, creating a beverage board that would embody the cheeky nature of his brand…
The beer and food experts at Euclid Hall had so much fun pairing small bites with rare and unusual beers in January during the restaurant’s Beer Month, that they’ve decided to continue the Brew Bites program through at least March. Each Tuesday (except for the two during Restaurant Week on…
Romance, shmomance. We’ve had it up to here with all the laughably predictable recommendations and ill-advised wine pairings that show up like clockwork every year at this time. We’re not hatin’ on love or anything — but since when is the notion of celebrating that special someone with a bottle…
I recently visited family and friends in New Orleans, and needless to say, we ate very, very well. Not to sound like a homer, but the food scene in that town truly is like no other. Flavor, for lack of a better descriptor, is intoxicatingly ubiquitous and engulfs you much…
As difficult as it is to find vegan options at breakfast joints (read: nearly impossible), it’s also not always easy to find plain old meat-free entrees. And the farther from central Denver you travel, the more difficult that task becomes. So we were thrilled to discover the French Press, 85…

What’s Denver’s most lovely spot for a Valentine’s Day dinner? Just in time for February 14 (2013, perhaps, since these places book up early), Lori Midson tied a bow around her list of the top ten most romantic restaurants in Denver. But for one reader, that list holds more sour…
Couples looking for an off-the-wall activity tonight — those hungry for more than love — should check out Mezcal’s Couples Taco-Eating Contest, in which the competing couple that eats the most tacos (filled with either chicken or mixed veggies) wins a $150 gift card and a trophy. Although the roster…
Go back to the bathroom,” Rob whispered as he returned to his seat. “Trust me.” I’d just finished paying the check for our feast at Hong Kong Barbecue, and a trip to the restroom didn’t have much appeal. Given the restaurant’s spare decor — just a few wall hangings featuring…
Last summer, three freshly minted Duke grads opened Sabi Sushi in Denver, the first restaurant without a restaurant, with money won from a start-up contest at their university. “First there were traditional restaurants,” owner Shaan Puri told us at the time. “Then fast-casual, then food trucks, which are traditional restaurants…

Nothings says “I love you” like home-baked goods, so if you’re looking for something fairly idiot-proof which with to impress your Valentine,…
