You don’t need to brave the lines outside of a 28-foot-high milk can to enjoy Little Man Ice Cream. The four-year-old venture has expanded its reach to provide ice cream for local restaurants, as well as at events and private parties…
On the run, in a hurry and not picky about where I ended up, I pulled into the parking lot of this bustling pit stop, and aside from a caravan of crying babies, the mothers of whom were oblivious to the tantrums, I wasn’t as lackadaisical about the food as…
Even on off-hours on most weekdays, the patio is half-full and there are several occupied tables inside the tiny restaurant — which indicates that Jerusalem is either near a university or is really tasty. Or, in this case, both…
Award-winning brewers at the Great American Beer Festival will bring home something in addition to their medals this year: a bottle of a special beer made collaboratively just for the occasion by members of the Colorado Brewers Guild. The 22-ounce bottle of Porter’s Pride, an imperial porter brewed with 200…
Nanny state or manny state? It looks like Elevation Beer Company in Poncha Springs might be able to go with its first-choice name for the smoked dopplebock it’s making this fall for Pints for Prostates, a non-profit organization that raises money to help fight prostate cancer, after all. The name?…
LoDo Bites — a culinary walking tour of lower downtown restaurants — takes place from 5 to 9 p.m. this evening. While you’re sample small bites from dozens of downtown restaurants and enjoying drink specials and desserts at select locations, don’t forget to take a few minutes to enjoy the…
I’ve lived in Washington Park for about sixteen years — long before it became trendy, and long after the corner markets on South Gaylord had disappeared into the abyss, making way for (mostly) lackluster bars and restaurants, uppity boutiques and wine bottle shops (that part, I like). But corner markets…
Today is National Lemonade Day, and it’s not just for kids. For the past few days, local restaurants have been taking a stand on this holiday, raising funds to combat childhood cancer. In 2000, four-year-old cancer patient Alexandra Scott decided to set up a lemonade stand in front of her…
Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar was just a few months old last September, but owner Robert Thompson somehow found the time and energy to be a part of Dish 2011 — our first outside dining event (after seventeen years inside!), and also the first one for which Cafe Society…
Is Bobby Stuckey, co-owner of Frasca Food and Wine, Wine Enthusiast’s Sommelier of the year? He just might be. But even if he isn’t, one thing is for certain: Bobby Stuckey is a rock star…
The results are in on Honest Tea’s experiment in honesty, and Boulder ranks as the third most honest city in the country, following closely behind Oakland and Salt Lake City. Over the last few weeks, Honest Tea set up kiosks in fifty locations in thirty cities across the country, stocking…
Pagliacci’s has been dishing up classic Italian food — and ambience — since 1946. “It’s been an awesome experience,” says Mark Langston, whose mother bought the place from other relatives in 1977. “It’s just time to move on.” A developer has bought the property, and plans to tear down Pagalicci’s…
It might be strange to think of Hooters as an institution, but that’s what the one on South Colorado became. Not only was this breastaurant the first link in the chain in Colorado, it was the first Hooters west of the Mississippi. But after 23 years, the shirt-bursting establishment shuttered…
Not exactly your typical gumbo — and that’s just fine, since the flavors were spot-on, plenty of seafood gave it the required oceanic splash and the rice was textbook-perfect. Only thing missing? A squeeze of lemon. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct…
The film Forks Over Knives has been called “vegan propaganda” by some and lauded as a truth-filled wake-up call by others. I haven’t seen it, but that didn’t stop me from picking up the official Forks Over Knives Cookbook as soon as it was available. This is an adaptation on…
Cafe Society dished out five Guess Where? contests last week, ranging from a wedge salad dressed with blue cheese and bacon from Park Burger to a king-sized Mideast feast from Jerusalem to a scoop of seasonal Palisade peach ice cream from Fired Up. And then there was the burger…a crumbly…
Are Denver diners — including Jenn Wohletz — hicks to eat cream-cheese and crab wontons? That’s what VonBlancoLA suggested when he agreed with Denver Doughboy. And at this point, the discussion has gone far beyond wontons….Here’s VonBlancoLA’s take: I’m a Californian Refugee and I must admit, after four years here…
It’s a quintessential Colorado week on the culinary calendar, with lots of local beer and wine, plenty of excuses to chill outside — and a bike race. Here’s a taste of what’s on the event menu:…
Last Sunday, Lance Barto and his kitchen crew rolled out Central Bistro and Bar’s first brunch menu, and earlier this week, we posted a contest, giving one Cafe Society reader, along with three guests of their choice, the chance to check it out for free this Sunday (morning libations and…
This past Sunday, Central Bistro and Bar, Lance Barto’s hot, hip and happening contemporary American hangout in Highland, rolled out its new brunch menu (Nutella waffles!), and in honor of the occasion, we’re giving one Cafe Society reader (and three guests) the chance to stuff their bellies for zero dollars…
“The Pen-Is Mightier.” That was my suggestion for what Elevation Beer Company in Poncha Springs should have renamed the smoked dopplebock it’s making this fall for Pints for Prostates, a nonprofit organization that raises money with beer to help fight prostate cancer, after the federal government rejected the brewery’s first…
When Zinger’s, a mishmash of chicken wings, chicken nuggets, chicken sandwiches and green chile that wasn’t long for this world, shuttered a few months ago at 2075 South University, the corner strip mall space, which was also a Quizno’s at one point, opened itself up to another plea for food…
