Just this morning, a reader suggested that Fat Sully’s, which opened on South Broadway earlier this year, take over the space next door that had been occupied by Crimson Canary until it closed Saturday night. Now that reader is getting his wish: Drew Shader, owner of Atomic LLC, just announced…
Even as Coors Field was filling up last Friday, fans were learning Ballpark neighborhood mainstay Snooze would no longer support the city’s May 2012 ban on camping because it hasn’t helped the homeless community. Snooze had initially supported that proposal — a stance that inspired Occupy Denver to boycott the…
Eighty years have passed since Prohibition ended — and booze returned — and that’s certainly something to celebrate. On Sunday, the Oriental Theater hosted a Prohibition Party and Brew Fest to do just that, with guests dressed in ’20s costumes sipping from more than 150 Colorado craft beers. Continue reading…
Colorado breweries continue to open at a rapid pace in 2013 — and they’re typically swamped the minute they open by beer fans eager to sample their brews. But breweries-in-planning don’t usually get a chance to put their products in front of customers (paying customers, anyway) ahead of time. That’s…
We’ve written quite a bit about the demise of Denver’s red-sauce joints, the old-school neighborhood restaurants that once formed the nucleus of northwest Denver, or, as some called it, Little Italy. After 66 years as the city’s longest family-owned Italian restaurant, Pagliacci’s shuttered last year; the remodeled Gaetano’s, while still…
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…
The price tag on the burgers at Tom’s Urban 24, which I reviewed last week, resulted in a flurry of comments — a bigger flurry than we’ve seen in the skies today, in fact. Some readers thought the price was too high — “$13 for a friggin cheeseburger?” — while…
I’ll admit that I’ve never been terribly impressed with the restaurant climate in Vail, and let’s face it: In a resort town like this, where a fickle public chews up their restaurants and then spits them out just as fast, you’ve got to be better than good to survive (unlike,…
RiNo’s on Blake, a “contemporary American” restaurant, opened last night at 2401 Blake Street, the original home of the Blake Street Tavern (and a second Brauns after that). While RiNo’s will continue to have a bar vibe, it’s also created a white-tablecloth dining area that focuses on “sustainable made-from-scratch foods.”…
For vegetarians, the southeast metro area hasn’t provided nearly as many options as Federal Boulevard. But now there’s a new noodle house in town: Pho Lee, a sibling restaurant to the insanely popular Pho 95 outposts. And the veggie pho at Pho Lee is just as good as it is…
Business is soaring in the Baker neighborhood — but even so, the Crimson Canary just didn’t fly on Broadway. Saturday was the last night of service at this restaurant that specialized in “Boss Italian,” a sophomore venture from the folks at Interstate Kitchen & Bar. The spot had previously swallowed…
Alamo Drafthouse, 7301 South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, is hosting a five-course Oskar Blues beer dinner that will coincide with a screening of Steve Martin’s The Jerk at 7 p.m. this evening. See also: – Best Movie Theater — Food/Drink 2013 Alamo Drafthouse – Dirty Dancing at Alamo Drafthouse…
Updated: Buffalo Doughboy reopened this morning, and is back to baking.Buffalo Doughboy has faced some challenges since it moved from a tiny spot in Baker to bigger digs at 1298 South Broadway two years ago. For starters, there was the economy. And then there was the endless construction work on…
Stapleton doesn’t have its own neighborhood brewery (yet), but the locals will get a way to try out beers being made by small breweries all over the state beginning this summer, when the Stapleton Tap House opens in The Shops at Northfield. The 1,500-square-foot spot, located near Harkins Theatre in…
The 1500 block of Blake Street has seen lots of restaurants come and go — and now there are new signs of life in the space at 1530 Blake Street that was most recently home to TD’s Dogs. The next tenant? Jimmy’s Urban Bar and Grill. See also: – TD’s…
There are plenty of usual-suspect dishes at this Mexican restaurant, but there’s also a whole section devoted to seafood, much of it excellent, and lurking somewhere between the whole snapper and the enchiladas is the smoking molcajete crowned with every meat imaginable. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus:…
The space at 1294 South Broadway that had been Bistro One, then 3 Monkeys Cantina, is about to be transformed again, this time into Adelitas Cocina y Cantina, which will specialize in traditional Mexican fare from the state of Michoacan. See also: – 3 Monkeys Cantina closes on South Broadway…
There was just a little wistfulness mixed with the jubilation at the first Boulder Farmers’ Market of the year on Saturday; you couldn’t help thinking about the vendors who hadn’t returned. For example, Mao Xiong, who came for decades with an assortment of Asian vegetables, hasn’t been around for a…
The Taste of Vail, a multi-day food and wine festival that uncorks each year in Vail Village and on Vail Mountain, is still — even after 23 years — one of the state’s most fantastic culinary spring flings. Herewith, a few observations and photos from the weekend revelry. See also:…
Cafe Society served up five Guess Where? contests last week, ranging from a classy cocktail from the newly remodeled Jax Fish House, to a flight of several beers from the aptly named World of Beer, to a French toast torta from a diminutive Mexican sandwich shop that also turns out…
Crimson Canary, the “Boss Italian” restaurant in Baker that Interstate Kitchen & Bar owners Andre and Aaron Lobato (they’re also brothers) and Joey Newman opened in the fall of 2011, ceased singing on Saturday night after a final dinner service.

Breakfast might very well be the most important meal of the day, but some people just can’t find the time for breakfast — or don’t feel like eating that early. These light, fluffy muffins are one solution: Packed full of ginger (and with an accompanying bite), you can make them…
