If Denver were lucky enough to get a nor’easter — one of those storms that dumps rain for so many hours, you’re sure the sky has never been anything other than dishwater gray — I know just what I’d do. Not stay inside, though I gave away my long raincoat…

Rosa Linda’s reopened today after electrical problems caused the restaurant to close last Friday. Here’s the word from Oscar Aquirre on Facebook: Wooohhoo! We are open! The city of Denver and Xcel energy, as well as our contractor came together and got us open! Contrary to any rumors, Rosa Linda’s…
Crazy Mountain Brewing isn’t leaving its home in Eagle County, but the rapidly-expanding beer-maker is looking for a spot in the Denver area to open a second brewery by the end of next year. “We are certainly eyeballing that possibility, and all options are on the table,” says Crazy Mountain…
Considering what lay ahead, Bertrand Bouquin, the executive chef of the Broadmoor, was incredibly relaxed. It was just hours before the swanky Colorado Springs resort and hotel pulled off — with grace and ease — the eleventh annual Salute to Escoffier, a monumental feast that trumpeted more than 100 dishes…
As we reported last week, Izakaya Den plans to move into its new home at 1477 South Pearl, right next to Sushi Den, by the end of May. That will finally free up the current home of Izakaya Den, at 1518 South Pearl, which the Breckenridge-Wynkoop group acquired last year…

Judging from the sentiments posted on the Denver Bacon Company’s Facebook page — emotions like the accolades below — chef Justin Brunson’s maple slabs of hog should have brought home the blue ribbon at last week’s Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, which took place in Iowa’s capital city. See also: -…
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…
When it opens in Littleton’s Aspen Grove Shopping Center on March 25, the 900-seat, state-of-the-art Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will bring Hollywood to Colorado via Texas (where the quirky, irreverent company is based). But anyone who orders a beer in the Glass Half Full bar inside the building will definitely know…

Despite what we learned as kids, meatballs don’t always come on top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese. Sometimes they come with greens and hot chicken stock in Italian wedding soup, or slathered with gravy alongside lingonberry jam in Swedish meatballs. They can be dropped in beef stock, along with…
And now there are three: Tony Pasquini, who opened the first Pasquini’s Pizzeria on South Broadway in 1986, when he was barely old enough to have a liquor license but did have the help of his mom, Judy, now has a trio of spots called Tony P’s. And he no…
Three weeks ago, Food Network personality Guy Fieri was romping around Denver, shooting footage for an upcoming episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and one of the joints where he made an appearance was the Denver Biscuit Company and Fat Sully’s, a pizzeria that’s located inside the Atomic Cowboy on…
Denver’s craft beer scene grew so fast in 2012 that it’s hard to believe that River North Brewery, which will host a big bash this Saturday, opened its doors only one year ago. In just twelve months, the brewery has built a bustling customer base in its taproom and around…
There’s good news for residents of Fort Collins, which will soon have a piece of the Breckenidge-Wynkoop empire in their own town. On February 8, the company closed on a two-story property in Old Town Fort Collins that was previously home to Beach House Grill. See also: – Breckenridge Brewery…
Walked into one of my favorite pizza joints, only to find the staff sitting at the bar stuffing their gullets with sushi — sushi that was brought in from another restaurant. Odd mix…sushi followed by pizza. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct…
You can’t expect every restaurant to cater to your specific dietary needs, which is why we’re always looking for crossover venues that have hidden gems on the menu. Zest Cafe in Lakewood is one such spot. Although it’s labeled a “vegan/vegetarian” restaurant on Foursquare, the menu lists only a handful…
