After nearly ten years behind the line at Table 6, executive chef Scott Parker is leaving to open a yet-to-be-named restaurant in Platt Park from the crew behind Breckenridge-Wynkoop, who took over the former Izakaya Den space, which recently relocated across the street. Parker, whose last day at Table 6…

The first Modmarket opened in 2009 in Boulder, a town that seemed ideally suited for its seasonal ingredients and farm-to-table philosophy set off by a sleek, fast-casual setting. But in the three years after that, owners Rob McColgan and Anthony Pigliacamto opened three more stores in metro locations that were…
Tiny De Steeg Brewing, which makes beers much bigger than its alley-entryway space near the corner of 44th Avenue and Lowell Street, sold its first keg of beer to an off-premise account this week: Ernie’s Pizza, which is located not far away on 44th and Federal Boulevard, is now serving…

Suffice it to say that I eat out more than the general population, unless, of course, the general population can catalogue more than 450 restaurant meals in a year — which is about the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that I stomached in 2012. Pathetic, isn’t it? But all…
Sizzling meat on a scalding skillet has always fascinated me, which is partially why I’m a fan of fajitas. I love, too, that the flesh always arrives with a harvest of sidekicks like salsa and guacamole, which top my list of favorite foodstuffs. And these fajitas, partnered with black beans…
For this week’s cover story, “Foiled Again!,” Lori Midson interviewed Chipotle founder Steve Ells about the twenty-year legacy of the locally based burrito chain. Over the weekend, Chipotle officially turned twenty — and Chipotle wants a few of its fans to celebrate the anniversary in style. Chipotle introduced catering this…

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…
The first Chipotle Mexican Grill opened on July 13, 1993 at 1644 East Evans.

To mark the twentieth anniversary of…

The Wynkoop Brewing Company is the oldest dog on the block when its comes to craft brewing in Colorado, since it was founded in 1988. But the brewpub, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, has learned plenty of new tricks. Today the Wynkoop reported that sales of its…
For years, much of what was sold as coffee was so light, sweet and flavored, it had little relation to the actual drink. But now the trend is moving in the other direction, with craft baristas letting the inner bean shine through, pouring strong black coffee never to be sullied…
Suffice it to say that I eat out more than the general population, unless, of course, the general population can catalogue more than 450 restaurant meals in a year — which is about the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that I stomached in 2012. Pathetic, isn’t it? But all…
It’s clear when I arrive at the Boulder Farmers’ Market Saturday that summer has finally and emphatically arrived. Fronds of dill have given way to long seed stalks. The peaches are profoundly welcome, but no longer the brilliant surprise they were last week. Not many field tomatoes yet — though…
I’m not much of a day drinker (one and done), but I am a proponent of non-alcoholic drinks that go beyond iced tea and soda, and here, at this uptempo restaurant, the bar program pays just as much attention to its mocktails — this muddled cucumber lemonade, for example –…
Every vegetarian or plant-based eater knows the feeling: your stomach starts rumbling come lunchtime, and your brain starts churning as you wonder, what chain restaurant might satisfy your hunger in a tasty, and economical, way? Which places should be avoided, and which will cater to you? For veggie-lovers, Wahoo’s Fish…
It’s been a hot season for chef moves, but last week’s revelation that John Broening will team up, again, with Robert Thompson at Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar was a stunner. The two worked together at La Brasserie Rouge, a wonderful French bistro that closed almost as soon as…
Coohills, 1400 Wewatta Street, begins its Beats on the Creek summer concert series this evening with a performance by Under the Blood Red Sky. The music will sound off every Tuesday starting at 6 p.m. on the restaurant’s patio — and the adjacent bridge over Cherry Creek — through August…

Bobby Grover’s goal is to change the way the world thinks about coffee — and in late August, he, along with his two partners, Zak Anderson and Jay Junkin, will do their best to make sure they succeed when they open Thump Coffee in Capitol Hill. “We’re trying to educate…
