This is part one of my interview with Trinity Grille’s Patrick Canfield. Check back here tomorrow to read part two. Patrick Canfield Trinity Grille 1801 Broadway 303-293-2288 www.trinitygrille.com Most of us have scrubbed a few pots and scraped a few plates, but if you eat dinner every night at home,…

Denver Restaurant Week is only five days old, but thousands of meals have already been consumed (and that was in the first hour at Elway’s Cherry Creek alone!), and as many nerves worn thin. Those of this stay-at-home diner, for example:…

Denver Restaurant Half Month, not surprisingly, is bringing out the glutton in all of us, and while rezzies are filling up fast, it’s not too late to stamp your name on a seat at one of the 340 feedlots offering multi-course feasts between now and March 9, when the culinary…

Late last year, we learned that changes were in the works for a slot in Boulder’s Twenty Ninth Street development most recently home to Ruby’s Diner: Flatirons restaurateur Chris Dailey had picked up the space and was planning to build out StarLite Diner & Lounge…

In pondering the purchase of some local eggs recently, I recalled an article I’d read about the terminology of egg labels and how misleading they can be. So I was hesitant to buy “free-range” eggs, but I really wanted to make crepes and decided to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, I…

I had no desire to spend my Sunday evening at a Denver Restaurant Week table, but when a friend snagged a prime-time reservation at a restaurant that rarely, if ever, has prime-time reservations available, I fell back on my promise. And I’m glad I did, because the service, despite butt-to-butt…

Thai Bistro, 5924 South Kipling Street in Littleton, has been lauded with several Best of Denver awards for Best Thai Restaurant, and it measures up just as strongly when it comes to its vegetarian dishes. The tofu, in particular, stands out: If you like nothing better than perfectly fried, crispy-on-the-outside,…

He’s been called a “hero of sustainability,” his name appears on Time Magazine’s 2010 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, and his best-selling books, including The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, have made him one of the high priests of practicing — and…

“It all began in 2007,” begins the conversation with John Davidson, “when the landlord violated my non-compete clause four months after we opened — and Pajama Baking Company opened just a few doors down from me. We had to split business, which isn’t what I’d signed up for.”…

J. Wilson, who was named Beerdrinker of the Year this past weekend at the Wynkoop Brewing Company, has gone through trials before. Last spring, for example, he lived for 46 days on nothing but water and dopplebock (a German style of beer) that a local brewery in Iowa, where he…

I fell in love with Greece while sitting at a rickety wooden table at a cafe in Corinth, picking at a brick of feta. My infatuation was initially superficial, of course; the country is beautiful viewed from the deck of a boat navigating around white islands on the royal-blue sea,…

As beer pairings go, few are more classic than the briny oyster and the heady stout; the two have been matched since the eighteenth century, when the beer was first made. Sometime in the early twentieth century, beermakers began crafting their stouts to pair with oysters — or using oysters…

When Louisville’s Viceroy of India changed over to Delhi Darbar, not much changed — the Indian restaurant served up the same menu as its predecessor, albeit under a different name. But even with a fresh moniker, the owners couldn’t make Indian food work in that location, and Delhi Darbar closed…
