Denver is one of the best beer cities in the nation, and Colorado is perhaps the finest of the fifty states when it comes to craft breweries. So why, wondered the two guys behind Offie Bottle Shop, don’t we have a dedicated craft beer store? The answer is because Colorado…
Jamawn Woods isn’t the only one blaming Denver-based Chipotle for the spectacular failure of his three Soul Daddy restaurants, which closed just weeks after the Detroit resident landed the grand prize on reality-TV show America’s Next Great Restaurant. Steve Ells’s fellow panelist and investor, Bobby Flay, is also pointing the…

The Jai Ho menu features some of the most useless — and hilarious — dish descriptions I’ve ever seen. “One of our signature dishes — many different stories for how the name came about, but who cares, we just eat it!!” sums up Chicken 65. JaiHo Spl Karaikudi Mutton is…
