A reader tipped us off that a sign had recently resurfaced on the property of Brittany Hill, 9350 Grant Street in Thornton, spurring questions over whether the event center was still on track to open in early 2011– or if it was up (again) for sale or lease. JoeAnn Falco,…

Hometown hero Chipotle has made a name for itself with its innovative marketing gimmicks, and now it’s partnering with cheeky British chef-turned-food-crusader Jamie Oliver for a special Halloween treat that could earn you a super-cheap burrito and maybe, just maybe, save the world. What’s the catch? You have to dress…

Japanese Kitchen, a little spot at 2125 South Sheridan Boulevard (and no relation to the original Japanese Kitchen downtown), has closed — but it won’t be empty for long. Mt. Everest Restaurant & Bar, which will serve Indian and Nepalese food, will be opening soon in that space. Is it…

Check out those Syrian sausages in the above pic — a mix of beef, lamb and Mid-East spices rolled into long, lanky ropes and tucked into a housemade pita pocket studded with lettuce and tomatoes and slicked with tahini sauce. That was lunch on Saturday at a Middle Eastern joint…

“This nonsense about us forcing them out is just that: nonsense.” That line was in an e-mail from Joe Vostrejs, COO of Larimer Associates, the group that’s partnering with Brian Sifferman, general manager of Larimer Square’s Corridor 44, to open Madison Street, at 1222 Madison in the Congress Park neighborhood,…

Beginning today, and continuing through the end of the year — weather permitting — up to four local street-food trucks and carts will hustle their grub at Civic Center Park, the site of Civic Center EATS, this summer’s hit food parade that elevated Denver’s meals on wheels movement to superstar…

Were you a pleasingly plump baby? If so, you might have a case against your mother — if she was ingesting trans fat by the gallon while breastfeeding. Alex Anderson, assistant professor at the UGA College of Family and Consumer Sciences, and his team studied 96 women and their babies…

Looks like the old bungalow at 2637 West 26th Street that was the first home of La Loma, then went on to house ventures ranging from Cafe International to Bali Island to La Fabula to the Shooting Star coffeehouse, finally has a new tenant. Coming soon to this spot: Gordo…

Last week, Cafe Society served up six Guess Where contests (not including this unidentified entry from our seasonal green chile category), featuring everything from a scrumptious shrimp appetizer at the bistro at Tony’s Market to spring rolls at Pho-natic to a huge plate of oysters at Elway’s in Cherry Creek…

The Larimer Associates and operating partner Brian Sifferman, of Larimer Square’s Corridor 44, haven’t even opened the doors to Madison Street, their newest project at 1222 Madison Street, and already they’re getting all kinds of flack from the neighbors, many of whom don’t want to see the space, which promises…

Back in June, Michelle and Steve Gelman shuttered their eponymous restaurant at 2911 West 38th Avenue and reopened the space a month later as Boston Fish Shack, a New England-influenced joint that turns out everything from seafood chowder to lobster rolls. And now that restaurant is up for sublease while…

Happy hour is prime time for getting awesome deals on the bar bites doled out where the above pic was flashed. We love the jalapeno poppers wrapped with prosciutto, but the jumbo shrimp, lightly battered and fried and glistening with a sweet and spicy Thai glaze, gratifies our bellies, too…
