There’s a whole lot of spring “cavorting” going on at Ugly Goat Milk Company’s farm. And that means plenty of milk, butter, cheese and good times for both the animals and humans…
You’ll need to block out a few hours of your afternoon if you want to swell your gut at this Ethiopian restaurant (the service moves in slow motion, as does the kitchen), but the food is definitely worth the wait. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who…
This is part one of my interview with Biker Jim, chef-owner of Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs. Part two of our banter will run in this space tomorrow. Jim Pittenger Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs 2148 Larimer Street 303-550-8231 www.bikerjimsdogs.com “I’m too young to have this much history,” quips the 54-year-old Army…
Denver is a city filled with great neighborhoods — and ardent fans of those neighborhoods, whatever they may be called. We’ve had debates here over the name of the area northwest of Washington Park, whether Boulder can be considered a neighborhood, where LoDo ends and the Ballpark Neighborhood begins, and…
Although there was no Biker Jim’s truck at the Food Truck Renegades event Friday night, Jim Pittenger was there, checking in on some of his favorite mobile vendors — and also accepting accolades from a visitor from Orlando, who’d stopped by his Biker Jim’s restaurant for a vegan dog earlier…
If you’re jonesing for a malt, scratch-made onion rings, fried pickles and an oblong burger that reminds you of the ’60s (as does the decor), then you’ll want to make a beeline for this off-the-eaten path diner. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first…
My Brother’s Bar is known for its burgers (and its history), and nothing about those burgers is known for being vegetarian-friendly: The words “juicy” and “mouthwatering” are generally thrown around. Also, “beef” and “bison.” But the joint’s Boulder Burger is vegan friendly — and a fine option for plant-based eaters…
Several big-name local chefs have coveted the new build-out across the pavement from the Waffle Brothers on Corona Street, just north of Speer Boulevard, but most have skunked off because of their uneasiness in securing a liquor license…
There were plenty of frivolous amusements to keep us occupied over the holiday weekend, but the Big Eat, EatDenver’s annual food orgy at Union Station, was definitely a bash to remember. “It was fantastic, everyone had so much fun, and the chefs really brought their game,” says Elizabeth Woessner, executive…
Atomic Tamale just opened at 1450 Carr Street in Lakewood — and on Sunday, when we stopped by to check out the new digs, we were happy to learn that the joint is still serving its free vegan menudo with a “special” Sunday order of two tamales and three falafel-stuffed…
Subway has not only survived the recent economic downturn, but thrived during it — launching 1,200 new stores this year. According to the New York Times, franchisees are falling all over themselves to find potential locations, and today Subway has close to 37,000 restaurants in a hundred countries. Why has…
Cafe Society dished out five Guess Where? contests last week, ranging from a ceviche tostada from Pinche Taqueria to a vast selection of salsas from a taqueria that still remains a mystery to an omelet and au gratin potatoes from Annie’s Cafe. We also unleashed a beer cocktail from a…
Cafe Society just came across several cards entitling the bearer to receive monthly featured dessert at Chick-Fil-A absolutely free in May, June and July. Sure, May is almost over, but that’s more motivation to act fast for your free desserts — and our amusement…
Just in time for the Memorial Day weekend, Matt and Rosemary Lopez, who’ve owned Taza de Cafe for the six years, finally opened Charlie’s Ice Cream Social right next door in the hot Berkeley neighborhood. Or is it?…
On a snowy February night, I ate one of the best meals I’d had in a long time at Ambria. I’d been excited to try this spot, which Steve Halliday opened last November in the former Ling & Louie’s in the Tabor Center; he’d brought in chef Jeremy Kittelson to…
Panzano Executive Chef Elise Wiggins is in the small town of Panzano, Italy, doing a stagisti with Dario Cecchini, the mad butcher of Panzano and owner of Antica Macelleria Cecchini. Wiggins, who recently won a Colorado Restaurant Association Industry Spot award and also earned Panzano another Best Italian Restaurant award,…
Just in time for a long, sunny weekend, Denver’s about to get another ice cream parlor: Charlie’s Ice Cream Social, a ’30s and ’40s-themed soft-serve spot, will throw open its doors today, offering frozen treats to the Berkeley neighborhood…
If you’re a product of the ’70s, and spent your spare time eating a salisbury steak TV dinner while glued to Lee Majors flexing his bionic implants on the Six Million Dollar Man, then you and that goofball, Johnny Ballen, the tall, lanky bean who owns the Squeaky Bean, have…
First thing’s first: This scallop ceviche tostada is not from T|ACO, which, in addition to a lineup of t|a|c|o|s, does, in fact, serve ceviche. But if you were planning to go in that direction, you’d be mistaken. Rather, the ceviche in the above snap hails from another taco joint that…
Yes, someone just found yet another @#$% finger in his %$#@ food — and this time, it apparently wasn’t planted for the purpose of a lawsuit (but I wouldn’t be shocked if a lawsuit ensues). Michigan teen Ryan Hart was chowing down on a roast beef sandwich at Arby’s when…
Tonight, at 4 p.m., on the corner of Ninth and Bannock, a fleet of food trucks and carts are gathering for the season opener of the Food Truck Renegades, a coalition of mobile vendors that includes Crock Spot, the Steuben’s food truck, NZ Smoking Guns, Mikes2Kitchen, Sweetness, Brava! Pizzeria, Stick…
Atomic Tamale landed on the list of our top ten vegetarian meals of 2011, and the tiny spot on Santa Fe Drive was always packed (especially on Sundays, when free vegan menudo was offered up with entrees), selling tamales by the singles and dozens. But as with Denver Seitan Company,…
