New Belgium Brewing is rolling out its new look on a wide scale this month, after having introduced bits and pieces of it last year. The “portfolio-wide packaging refresh…reimagines New Belgium’s iconic and playful watercolor imagery from the past 22 years through a modern lens,” the Fort Collins company says…
The menu at this longstanding Middle Eastern joint hasn’t changed since, well, ever, and my favorite dish from there hasn’t changed either: It’s still the shish taouk with cubed chicken, rice and vegetables. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to a…
UPDATE: Udi’s has chosen not one, but three names — Etai’s, Izzio, and Silvi’s — which is will split between its bakery, restaurant, and catering businesses. “The support for all three finalists prompted us to alter our plans to take one new company name,” explains Etai, CEO of the Baron…
Pete Marczyk and Barbara Macfarlane do not leave their work behind when they leave Marczyk Fine Foods and head for their great old Denver house with a spacious kitchen. They often bring some of their market’s best ingredients home with them and cook up a feast, and when they’re not…
In A Federal Case, I’ll be eating my way up Federal Boulevard — south to north — within Denver city limits. I’ll be skipping the national chains and per-scoop Chinese joints, but otherwise I’ll report from every vinyl booth, walk-up window and bar stool where food is served. Here’s the…
Lori Midson has been writing about food longer than a certain decades-old deli has been serving, so when she stopped by this former Best of Denver award-winner for lunch and was presented with a sandwich featuring bread straight from the freezer (see above), it left her cold…and she shared her…

Back in December 2012, we broke the news that Dave Query, the mastermind behind Big Red F, the Boulder-based restaurant group that operates numerous restaurants throughout the state, including Lola, Jax and Zolo Grill, was opening a brewery and chicken joint in Lafayette.

Since beer is made from grain and hops, it makes sense that Christine Wares picked Kokopelli, the Hopi god of agriculture and fertility, for the name and logo of her new brewery. But Wares, who will run Kokopelli Beer Company, 8931 Harlan Street, with brewers Todd Williamson and Rick Holt,…
The stretch of Littleton Boulevard where Pho 007 opened last year — just east of downtown Littleton — boasts a handful of restaurants that all attract a decent amount of business. That isn’t surprising, given the lack of dining options to draw in passersby. But what is surprising is the…
Any deli worth its crust knows better than to serve a sandwich on bread that’s just been pulled from the freezer, but that’s exactly what I got at this decades-old deli that added insult to injury when the plate also came lobbed with a macaroni salad pelted with globs of…
The latest Dunkin’ Donuts to debut in the metro area, at 2001 Sheridan Boulevard in Edgewater, did a real public service by getting its doors open before January 1 — when people eager to buy pot started lining up outside Northern Lights just up the street. The shop did a…
Regulate marijuana like alcohol? Why not celebrate it with alcohol? That’s what West Flanders Brewing in Boulder did last week, changing the name of one of its beers from Woodshed Smoked Porter to Recreational Smoke to celebrate the end of pot prohibition — and help bring competing bud/beer factions together…

Cafe Society served up eleven Guess Where? contests during the holidays, which spread over two weeks — and that means that we’re giving away two of the brand-new 2014 EatDenver dining decks, a fat pack of terrific deals that entitles the holders of those cards to receive $10 off a…
While Table to Tavern, a new restaurant group that’s a partnership between the owners of Pour Kids (Boone’s Tavern and HandleBar Tavern) and Paradigm Restaurants, the crew that owns Table 6, continues to put the finishing touches on Atticus — their first joint restaurant concept that will open in February…
When the weather outside is frightful, there’s usually nothing more delightful than a bowl of homemade soup. This easy offering is packed full of goodness — spinach, purple potatoes, chickpeas and more — and coconut cream and spices give it a gorgeous finish. And the recipe is also both vegan…
