Food & Drink

A new superhero has arrived in Denver. Seen by multitudes, sampled by many, Slyderman has been using a colorful perch at 16th and Stout as a base for punching out hunger with super mini-sliders. The cart, which debuted last week, is owned by Brian and Kimberly Alcorn; Kimberly came up…

Get a piece of the rock — the original Hard Rock Cafe, that is. The town of Empire, which owns the century-old building in which the restaurant is located (and whose offices are right upstairs) is looking for a new party to run the place. The Hard Rock’s last proprietor…

We often see tweets and Facebook posts from celebrities that make us giggle, cringe and, in some cases, even re-tweet and re-post if their words are particularly jaw-dropping. And now we’re seeing some of those bold names recite Yelp reviews as part of “Real Actors Read Yelp Reviews,” a YouTube…

I spent nearly the entirety of the weekend attached to my computer in the same clothes that I slept in, which means I didn’t go out much and had to rely on delivery and takeout to satisfy my hunger pains. And thanks to this Mideast feast, lunch and dinner were…

Sweet Action won an award in the 2011 Best of Denver issue as Best Ice Cream for the Milk-Averse — and for good reason. We can’t think of another spot in Denver that offers ice cream (yes, actual ice cream) for vegans, aside from Cows Gone Coconut. So when we…

After hearing that McDonald’s, America’s favorite — and only — purveyor of Egg McMuffins, is test-marketing a new promotion, “Breakfast After Midnight,” in a few locations including Denver, I cruised into the McDoo’s at 505 East Colfax Avenue at 12:01 a.m. — only to find no breakfast. And, in fact,…

The Hooters at 1390 South Colorado Boulevard — not just the first Hooters in Denver, but the first Hooters this side of the Mississippi — is closing on Friday. The breastaurant moved into this former White Spot (not Village Inn — sorry, Steveville) space in 1989, and now the landlord…

For nearly fifteen years, Sam Taylor, owner and pitmaster of his namesake barbecue joint, occupied a no-frills space at 435 South Cherry Street, but after serving brisket, bones, pork and chicken to a longtime posse of regulars (ironically, Taylor also catered a Pretenders concert back in 2009 for a very-vegan…

Those summer bike rides to the local farmers’ market have apparently paid off. Once again, Colorado ranks lowest on the state-by-state adult obesity rate analysis, conducted by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Maybe it’s because there are so many appealing outdoor activities, or maybe…

Nooch Vegan Market — named after a common shortened name for nutritional yeast flakes, a good source of B12 and a popular ingredient in vegan cooking — opened its doors this afternoon at 3360 Larimer Street. “We’re excited to provide an environment where you don’t have to read labels,” says…

“Six pork, all day! Five crespelle, all day! One beef, mid-rare; one beef, medium! Three frito, on the fly!” On Saturday night, Amerigo Delicatus Restaurant & Market, Iain Chisholm’s new Italian restaurant on Upper Larimer, hosted a friends and family practice dinner, inviting about forty people to taste a shortened…

The Hooters at 1390 South Colorado Boulevard will close after Friday’s dinner service. According to a statement from the busty chain, the brokerage firm that owns the shopping center where this particular restaurant is located plans to redevelop the property and couldn’t come to terms on a new lease with…

The burger — what you see of it in the above snap — was all there was to the gray, crumbled mess that sat between a mammoth-size bun. As some of you would say: epic fail. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct…

Judging from the 140 submissions we received in our Denver Burger Battle contest — a contest that would give one Cafe Society reader (and a guest) two VIP tickets to the near sold-out event on the turf of Sports Authority Field at Mile High on August 22 — you people…
