Amos Watts Jax Fish House Denver 1539 17th Street 303-292-5767 www.jaxfishhousedenver.com The French Laundry, Thomas Keller’s culinary temple in Napa, gets plenty of accolades, but Cyrus, a petite restaurant in the artsy Sonoma town of Healdsburg, is even better, insists its legion of junkies. And before he was crowned executive…
The traditional food-and-profession pairing is as follows: Stoners are to pizza as cops are to donuts. But the guys at Sexy Pizza on Capitol Hill are trying to change up that combo, by designating a pizza that benefits Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a group of current and former cops and…
Will Wild Catch reopen this week, as remaining owner Daniel Kuhlman has promised? Does Lou’s Food Bar need a kick in the pants? And what qualifies as a chain restaurant in Boulder, anyway? SALT? Any of Dave Query’s spots? These are all hotly debated issues on Cafe Society…
The aptly named Nothing Bundt Cakes, at 10449 Town Center Drive in Westminster, sells nothing but bundt cakes — surprise! And when the store hosts its grand opening celebration today, complete with a ribbon-cutting, bundt cakes will be on the menu. For more information, go to www.nothingbundtcakes.com. For information on…
For six years, Utumporn Killoran has been peddling Thai curries from a cart on the 16th Street Mall. And her recipes, culled from her native Isaan Province in Thailand, have gained her such committed fans that they’re willing to wait in line for an hour just to wolf down her…
I was catching up with a very close friend the other day and we got to talking about cheese. I should mention that he happens to be a former maker of it at Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy, and is currently managing St. James Cheese Co. in New Orleans, one of…
When we saw that Robin Bar-on of Udi’s — who cooks up a pretty fine vegan spread herself — thought Sushi Sasa’s chef, Wayne Conwell, is a culinary genius, we knew we had to check out the veggie rolls. So we stopped by the Highland eatery on a recent Monday…
Since it motored into Denver earlier this month, Biker Jim’s fancy new food truck, which he plans to take national, has been sequestered in a secret location somewhere in the city, but on Sunday, he’ll introduce it to Denverites for the first time in conjunction with his latest appearance on…

It’s no secret that I’m a charcuterie slut, and this plate, a relatively new addition to the menu, has become one of my favorites for pigging out. 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…
Lawrence Dai watched Julie & Julia for the first time one year ago today. Then he watched it again every single day for a year. And, of course, in Life 2.0 fashion, he decided to blog about it. Since November 29, 2010, Dai has racked up over 1,000 followers on…
For obvious reasons, the Denver Broncos are unexpectedly fun to watch this year — but unfortunately, the beers available at Sports Authority Field are decidedly less so to drink. We may live in the Napa Valley of beer, but the Mile High Stadium crew definitely fumbled the brews available there…
If you’re ready to handle a multi-course feast after last week’s Thanksgiving dinner, then get yourself to Amaro Drinkery Italia, 2785 Iris Avenue in Boulder. At 6:30 p.m. tonight, it’s hosting the Marchesi di Gresy Wine Dinner, featuring a five-course menu paired with wine. Reservations are $79; call 303-443-5100 or…
I’d been following the group of six recent college grads since they’d first walked into Thai Street Food Restaurant, talking about how they wanted to fuel up for a night of drinking. I’d tried to distract myself by studying the watercolor paintings crammed onto one wall and the gilded tapestry…
When Deluxe Burger, Dylan Moore’s shrine to beef in a bun, shuttered a few months ago, several local chefs and restaurateurs eyed the East Colfax quarters, located directly next door to Mod Livin’, the retro furniture store owned by Jill Warner, who’s also the landlord of the restaurant space. But…
There are quite a few wine events on the calendar this week — but there’s also a Bubbles Dinner and the Parade of Darks if wine’s not quite your thing. Here’s a taste of what else is on the menu:…
I had a perfectly lovely Thanksgiving with my dysfunctional family, but it was nothing like the pre-Thanksgiving feast that Jorel Pierce, the executive chef of Euclid Hall, and his sous, Josh Prater, prepared last Wednesday for a 9News segment. Pierce, along with 9News meteorologist Becky Ditchfield and Sky 9 reporter…
All season, gangs of predominantly twentysomethings have been invading local farms each month, expanding vegetable beds, weeding and planting orchards. “It’s like a flashmob, but for gardening,” says Laurie Schneyer, organizer of Denver Crop Mob and a volunteer with Slow Food Denver. The seeds for the project were planted when…
Sean Kenyon’s Ask the Bartender has been on a break, but Kenyon hasn’t been taking it easy: Over the past five weeks, he’s been traveling (Germany, France and New York City twice), working at Euclid Hall at night and opening Williams & Graham during the day. Now he’s back, plenty…
On Sunday, while Tim Tebow fans prayed that God would grant the Broncos a victory over the San Diego Chargers, we prayed that the generous pours of vodka in our Bloody Marys wouldn’t make us tumble off our bar stools. Can you guess where I’m drinking? Special bonus: Anyone who…
No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as incentive to join the growing movement, every week we’re offering an animal-free recipe. Green bean casserole is a holiday favorite, but cream-of-mushroom soup is not a vegan-friendly ingredient. This recipe includes a flavorful sauce that’s…
Cafe Society served up four Guess where contests last week, ranging from a dogcentric beer at Denver Beer Co. to a plate of gruisidos at Los Dos Potrillos to this rabbit cassoulet. For correctly identifying it as coming from Cheeky Monk, Ashley H wins an EatDenver deck…
