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. “We have a…
If you want to get to the meat of the matter, you’ll need to battle a barrage of lettuce first. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Where am I drinking/eating posts is entered into a pool — and…

Siu mei, Hong Kong-style roasted meats, are the main attraction at Hong Kong Barbecue, the restaurant tucked into a Federal Boulevard strip mall that I review this week. Not only are there whole roasted ducks hanging in a case in a prominent spot in the dining room, but you can…

Every taqueria does its gorditas differently, and while I love the puff of masa, these flat gorditas, turned out at a taqueria that also pimps some of the best al pastor tacos in the city, are every bit as delicious as their counterparts. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special…
Mandy Stevens has been a freelancer in the marketing and advertising sphere for years, so she knows what it’s like trying to find a comfortable place to work. “Every space I went to, the space isn’t quite right,” she explains. And that included both coffeeshops and co-working spots, where people…

There’s not much to look at in the dining room of Hong Kong Barbecue, a modestly decorated spot in the middle of a South Federal Boulevard strip mall. So while you wait for your food, your eyes inevitably fix on the glowing case of glistening roasted ducks spotlighted in one…
