Leave it to the crew of Euclid Hall to take bone marrow, a Manhattan and a kneel on the knee and turn it into T-boning!…

I have an unwavering affinity for the the bar where the above tacos are turned out, but those tacos — at least last night — tasted old and cold, and the tampiquena, which the kitchen graciously remade, originally suffered from the same chill. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special…

Just under a year ago, Sabor Latino underwent a major cosmetic makeover after more than a decade at its second North Denver location on 35th and Tennyson (it originally opened in 1990 on 32nd Avenue), where it plied Denverites with paella, ceviche and sangria. But the venerable homage to South…

As we’ve mentioned more times than probably necessary, the Mile High City was graced with nearly 300 new restaurants in 2011, but on day six of the new year, we’re already beginning to lose count of the vast number of restaurants that have gone dark. The latest joint to lock…

As an end-of-the-year public service to those who were going to need hot, hot green chile to cure their hangovers on January 1, Lori Midson offered her list of “Denver’s ten best green chiles.” Any discussion of green chile always stirs the pot. Fans of those that didn’t make the…

Of all the restaurant/bar closings that have been announced recently, none have caused the outpouring of comments that followed the relevation that Gabor’s, a Capitol Hill institution, will be closing sometime this month. Fans are lamenting the end of an old-time joint with one of the greatest jukeboxes in town…

Paul Handley was so inspired by the success of Jim Pittenger — and by his Biker Jim’s dogs — that he wrote a poem, “which I sent him and was published in Puffin Circus, as was an abbreviated version on-line in Every Day Poets,” Handley reports. “Jim was good enough…

That tiny hut, tucked into a courtyard on Vine Street at the Streets at SouthGlenn, is the future home of Yo’Cheese, a takeaway stand “making grilled cheese the way you wished your Yo’Mom made,” its Facebook page promises…

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. During the month…

The best Ethiopian food I’ve had in the state comes from this kaleidoscopic storefront that’s not in Denver, but in a town that’s easily within reach. 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…

For last week’s “Year in Review,” we recapped what the subjects of the 2011 Chef and Tell interviews would like to see less of in Denver. This time, we’re serving up their wish lists of what they’d hope to find on Denver’s plate in the new year – everything from…

Everyone’s favorite pho parlor — Pho 95, which has locations on South Federal Boulevard and Streets at SouthGlenn — has a new sibling. The space at 2990 West Mississippi, which was the original Chopsticks China Bistro (and, after that, one of those sub-par $1.25-a-scoop Chinese travesties), is now Pho 96…

The news broke yesterday that Gabor’s, the beloved joint on East Thirteenth, will close a few months from now to make way for the Marion Street Tavern, a new bar by Sam Roots, who owns the Providence Tavern in Edgewater. “I don’t want to give too much away right now,”…
