It’s been months since Bocadillo, one of Denver’s best new restaurants of 2012, closed, leaving those of us enamored with chef-owner Derek Dietz’s Spanish-influenced sandwiches and tapas wondering if he and his staff would ever reopen the Sunnyside space that trumpeted some really incredible food.

Tom Hail loves beer. He loves lagers especially, which is why he stays very late on a lot of nights to work on his passion projects. One of these is a traditional German-style marzen — a recipe that he’s been tinkering with on and off for eighteen years. It’s a…
Construction is going quickly on the project to transform the former home of Thai Mango at 609 Grant Street into Moontower Tacos. Owner Brent Thrash, a native of Austin who went to the University of Colorado, is predicting his place will open in a couple of weeks. See also: -…

Fat Jack’s Supersubs opened its fourth metro location this week, at 3535 Quebec Street in the Shops at Stapleton. The latest link in the growing local sandwich chain, which uses local artists to help create its decor, will host a grand-opening event in March. In the meantime, we sent photographer…
Brothers Hanzel and Eder Yáñez won fans quickly with the authentic Pueblan fare they served at Chili Verde, the restaurant they opened in LoHi in the summer of 2009. But running the place turned out to be bumpier than importing their mother’s recipes to Denver. In December 2011, a kitchen…

Fate Brewing Company opened its doors at 1600 38th Street in Boulder this week.

Olav Peterson is introducing a new deal at Bittersweet tonight: a three-course, prix-fixe dinner, paired with wines, for $40 — and only available on non-holiday Thursdays. “As our way of thanking our supporters, we want to focus on giving back to our guests, and one way to do that is…

Tofu isn’t as esoteric as it once was. Even if you’re not vegetarian or vegan, you’ve probably had it a few times — perhaps with berries in a protein smoothie or cubed and fried in lettuce wraps. But even card-carrying bean-curd fans might overlook the chilled tofu at Uncle, Tommy…

Colorado is thirsty, and Mobile Canning, which has made it possible for more than a dozen smaller Colorado breweries to package and sell beer to liquor stores over the past year, is planning to help quench that thirst this spring when it doubles in size. The Longmont company, which takes…
It was one of the biggest deals of 2012: Thirteen months ago, Toshi Kizaki announced that he and his brother had entered into a deal with BW Holdings, the company that controls the Wynkoop/Breckenridge group of breweries and restaurants, agreeing to swap Izakaya Den’s current location — a stand-alone building…
Stout Month is in full effect right now at the Vine Street Pub in Denver, as well as the Mountain Sun and Southern Sun pubs in Boulder. The twentieth annual version of this awesome display of the dark arts features many of the stouts that Mountain Sun has become famous…
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 menu at this eccentric joint is all over the place, but weirdly, it all works, and the pupusas — a word I like to say over and over again — are one of my favorite dishes from that strange menu. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone…
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 the big, new kitchen. They often bring some of their market’s choicest ingredients home with them and cook up a feast. Pete and Barb…
