A new Asian restaurant will soon replace an old Asian restaurant at 10440 East Arapahoe Road in Greenwood Village. Volcano, which is going into the space formerly occupied by Carlos Miguel’s and the wanly-named Sushi Club, will feature a sushi bar, hibachi and “modern Chinese food,” as well as a…
For more than two decades, the National Pork Board’s slogan, “Pork: The Other White Meat,” has attempted to convince us that swine, which, of course, is best known for BACON, is just as healthy — bawk! — as chicken. But pork consumption has hit a rump patch, while chicken parts…
The idea sounded so good: In “Meat with Meaning at Whole Foods,” his May 2009 post, Tyler Nemkov described how Whole Foods had contracted with California-based Panorama Meats to buy organic, grass-fed beef from a ranch owned by the Northern Arapaho tribe on the Wind River reservation. “If I’m going…
One of the best things about this time of year — culinarily speaking — is the abundance of fresh herbs you can pop in your pot while you’re dishing up something tasty. Maybe you don’t have your own garden, but the Denver Botanic Gardens does, and a harvest of fresh…
For all of you finicky fish heads lamenting the lack of fresh seafood in our fine city, meet the Yabby Hut, a new fish joint that opened three weeks ago at 3355 South Yarrow Street, in the former Giovanni’s Italian Cafe space. According to manager Linh Nguyen, the Yabby Hut…

Since the mid-1980s, crowds of hipsters have populated the dark rooms at Paris on the Platte, 1553 Platte Street, sipping espresso and smoking cigarettes (until December of last year, when the joint finally went non-smoking) in one of Denver’s favorite alternative coffeehouses. Now, the crew at Paris is taking its…

Here’s a taste of what’s ahead: Monday, July 12: The City of Aurora offers a kids’ cooking class, American Pie,…
When I got the hostess on the horn earlier today, she hung up on me. An immediate call-back was a short, pointed, one-sided conversation that went something like this: “We’re crazy, crazy busy; please call back later.” Click. Apparently Mellow Mushroom, which opened today at 1201 16th Street in the…
The Arabian deserts have brought us riches like oil — and, well, that’s about it. But all that will change when Dubai starts exporting one of its most valued treasures: camel milk. Camels are renowned for their nasty tempers and foul breath. Plus, they have a habit of spitting, just…
It’s been less than two months since Andrew’s on Lincoln closed its doors, but a new bar and grill is gearing up to fill its shoes in the next few weeks at 1111 Lincoln Street. Stoney’s Bar and Grill is slated to open the first week of August, says owner…
Back in November, acerbic mouthpiece Anthony Bourdain spent a few days in Denver, where he took down Sandra Lee and Rachael Ray (among others) from the stage at the Buell and stomached nearly a half dozen hot dogs from Biker Jim’s wiener cart at 16th and Arapahoe, an apparent epiphany…

As important as food is to the real world, there aren’t all that many foods unique to the fictional world…which might be a very good thing, considering the inherent dangers in these following fake-foods and drinks.

Cafe Society served up three Guess Where I’m Eating/Drinking contests last week, ranging from these still-unidentified spring rolls to an as-yet unknown neighborhood joint’s steak dinner to these perogies soaking in butter. For correctly identifying Kinga’s as the culprit behind that dish, Jenny wins a DINR deck…
There aren’t enough pats-on-the-back being handed out for local efforts to go green — like biking to work, for example. But Maggiano’s, 500 16th Street, is changing that: Bring your bike helmet to the carry-out counter on any Monday in July and August, and you’ll receive a free to-go container…

Troy Guard, chef/owner of TAG, sometimes, somehow, manages to get out of the kitchen of his restaurant at 1441 Larimer Street — only to land in another kitchen, helping out at fundraisers like the recent Denver Health slider contest (where his team emerged triumphant). But he does good at TAG,…
There’s not much that satisfies on a sweltering summer day like a 7-Eleven Slurpee. And on Sunday, July 11 (a.k.a. 7/11), from 8 a.m. (not 7 a.m., unfortunately) to 11 p.m. you can score a free, 7.11-ounce mini-Slurpee at participating stores throughout the metro area. The date also marks the…
