For the past fifteen years, the original Jax Fish House, at 928 Pearl Street in Boulder, has been feeding fish heads to the finicky (and spawning a Top Chef victor, but you already know all about that), a feat that’s being marked through the week as part of a fifteenth…

What you might have missed this week on Cafe Society while you were counting the minutes to Zolo Southwestern Grill’s 105 days of tequila. While we locals aren’t pleased that the Rockies blew another season of baseball, we understand that not everyone is a fan of the purple and black…

Denver has a titillating new charcuterie contender in town. And for better or worse, it comes with a side of fleshy skin. You can double the pleasure, double the fun if you know where to go.Well?…
Chris Long, ex sous chef of Boulder’s Black Cat (and a former line cook at Charlie Trotter’s) and Cyrus Stroker, a former manager of The Kitchen, also in Boulder, have given up the restaurant business to further their careers in trucking. Sort of. Seems the two have teamed up to…

Perfect apple desserts are a rarity. Too often, high expectations are met with watery fruit, a flavorless crust or cloying sweetness. Perfection, however, is attainable, and if that’s what you’re seeking in an apple tart, look no further than the torta di ricotta at Venue, 3609 West 32nd Avenue. …

It’s billed as a Bloody Mary on the libations roster, but with the accompaniments of shrimp, blue cheese-stuffed olives, peperoncinis and a kick-ass, kick start mound of spices, it’s more like a snack before breakfast. Or a prelude to a long afternoon of snowbound restlessness. I’m on my way to…
Last week, my buddy Dave Herrera over at Backbeat debuted a new bloggity thingamajig called Recast, in which he and his guys redo the soundtracks of existing movies. First one? Blade Runner — one of the greatest movies of all time, and one with a soundtrack that already kicks some…
