The restaurant takes over the lower level of a Victorian building that once housed Maison de Fleur, a florist and event-planning business. Owner Bart Jones says he’d originally hoped to open in early December (a desire echoed in the…
Welcome to In the Weeds. Kyle will be right with you — most likely to complain about something. Usually he is pleasant, but this is his place to blow off some steam. Don’t take it personally; he just needs to vent because he’s been doing this for about thirteen years…
Last month, we reported that Gaia Bistro had obtained a liquor license and was working on adding dinner hours to augment its very popular breakfast and lunch. Today, restaurant co-owner Jon Edwards confirms that as soon as his staff is fully trained, the restaurant will be open for evening dining…
Not much is going to change at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey now that the distillery has been purchased by New Jersey’s Proximo Spirits — at least not for a while. “What is interesting is that Stranahan’s is selling so well in Colorado that we are going to focus 99 percent of…
If you’re vegetarian in Denver, then you most likely already know about City, O’ City and its sister restaurant, WaterCourse Foods. There’s a reason that both of these restaurants are so popular: The wine and beer options are fabulous, the food is delicious, and both offer plenty of options for…
Street Kitchen Asian Bistro, the first brick-and-mortar to open in the Vallagio at Inverness (Russo’s Kitchen + Tavern and a second Marco’s Coal-Fired Pizzeria will open in the same development in February), is Mary Nguyen’s second restaurant (her first is Parallel Seventeen in Uptown), but just two days after opening…
Brad Page, a real-estate agent and co-founder of Coopersmith’s Pub & Brewing in Fort Collins, plans to start Denver’s first hard cidery this spring. Cider, which is more popular in England and Ireland than in the United States, is made from fermented apples. Page will buy his apples for now,…
‘Twas the day before Christmas, and all through the room, the tables were stirring with sandwiches to consume. Stacked high and mighty with pig on pig, it was too much for one, even a belly that’s big. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first…

Less than a week after Veggie Girl Amber Taufen waxed rhapsodic about a recent meal at Masalaa, the vegetarian Indian joint at 3140 South Parker Road, the quarters are dark, the only sign of life a typed sign taped to the window citing a “temporary closure” due to “maintenance” issues…
Not surprisingly, Xarchy’s lament about the lack of good ethnic eating in this town inspired many suggestions — and a few excellent insults (read them all here). Still, for efficient put-downs, it’s hard to beat this from Harvey, who took commenter Alanis to task for suggesting that a free brunch…
Cook Street School of Fine Cooking, 1937 Market Street, will present A World of Taste: Thai from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight. A meal and a glass of wine is included in the $79 class, during which you’ll learn how to create such delicacies as chicken with peanut sauce, chicken…
There was a time in my life when I ate ramen once a week, and I’m not talking about that cheap brick of noodles that came with a sodium-loaded packet of flavoring. I’m talking rich broth, thick with animal fat and laden with noodles, pork belly, seaweed, scallions and a…
Say so long to Pho Havana: The Vietnamese restaurant that took over the space at 10400 East Sixth Avenue, which had been home for more than a decade to Chef’s Noodle House, was only open for six months. The phone there is now disconnected; no word yet on what will…
Larkburger, the gourmet burger barn that started in the high country — specifically, Edwards — and spawned siblings in Greenwood Village, Boulder and Fort Collins, is bringing its Black Angus beef to West Washington Park, taking over part of the behemoth square footage that belonged to Blockbuster Video at 340…
2011 isn’t just a new year. You may not be ready to face this just yet, but you’re now on day four of an entirely new decade. Why aim low by setting a beginner’s resolution to drink more wine, when you can truly step up your game for the Twenty…
I’m a sucker for good salsas, and the caddy of four (plus the house salsa) that graces your table at this bustling taqueria is filled with plastic squats of freshly made, intense concoctions that dance across your tongue like ballerinas on a stage. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special…
Boulder, insists Phil Armstrong, the founder of HUSH, and, for a nanosecond, the general manager of Radex Bistro, which closed last October, needs more breakfast joints. Alec Schuler, owner/executive chef of Arugula, a farm-to-table restaurant in Boulder, shares the same sentiment, and when two restaurant minds think alike, things happen…
If you’re like me, you make your New Year’s resolutions easy. For 2011, I vowed to watch both the new and old versions of True Grit. Done and done, and don’t I feel good! But if you want something that takes a little longer, try upgrading your beer-drinking program. Give…
The sommelier title hasn’t always been a glamorous one. In fact, according to Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay’s new book, Secrets of the Sommeliers, it was once a title relegated to restaurant workers who proved themselves unworthy of the kitchen, a lowly crew banished to the wine cellar for life…
Cozy Cottage has grown into a House: On Sunday, the breakfast-and-lunch spot opened in its new location at 4363 Tennyson Street, formerly occupied by House (and Gemelli’s before that). The old Cozy Cottage location, at 2423 South Downing Street, closed at the end of November, but owner Michael Mueller has…
Last week Govinda’s Buffet, a vegetarian mainstay, announced that it would be open Tuesdays through Thursdays for lunch, in addition to regular dinner hours on Friday and Saturday.
