When Trios Enoteca, the nearly 15-year-old wine bar, shut its doors a month ago, it left a prime piece of LoDo real estate up for grabs. So predictably, it didn’t take long for someone to snatch up the space and move in…
After hosting a charity dinner on Saturday night, Charcoal, a new 5,200-square-foot restaurant from Patrik Landberg, the former chef of Satchel’s in Park Hill (now Pary’s on 28th), opened to the public on Sunday, turning out contemporary European cuisine in an artfully choreographed setting…
For anyone who believes that Sushi Den and Sushi Sasa are the only two players when it comes to slicing and dicing the raw stuff, you’re wrong: Here, at this unheralded shrine to the ocean, ambitions run as high as the waves in a wrathful sea, and the sushi and…
Cafe Society served up five Guess where? contests last week, including one focusing on a salad-studded breakfast at Snooze to another breakfast that was really something to crow about. For correctly identifying the above plate as coming from Red Rooster, Juliannemichelle77 wins an EatDenver deck…
No one’s saying you have to go meatless just because it’s Monday — but as an incentive to join the growing Meatless Monday movement, we’re featuring an animal-free recipe each week. Fall is in the air, which puts us in the mood for some thick, hearty soup. This black bean-based…
Denver is awash in beer — and in opinions about beer, about Jonathan Shikes’s suggestion of five ways to freshen up the Great American Beer Festival, and about Laura Shunk’s list of the area’s five best tap rooms. No Liquids and Solids? No Amato’s Ale House? And what’s Denver Beer…
When six Denver chefs, one bartender and, for good measure, a muscled and tatted sausage emperor all trotted out of the kitchen, following a sensational multi-course, Colorado-inspired dinner prepared in a Manhattan brownstone, a woman seated at the table just adjacent to the burners stood up, applauded and declared that…
We’ll always have Paris. Paris on the Platte will be celebrating its 25th anniversary all weekend, with two days of music and memories starting at 8:30 p.m. tonight, and continuing tomorrow. In anticipation of the celebration, DT has already shared his memory of learning to smoke at Paris, right before…
It was just before 5 p.m. on Wednesday when the car dropped me off at the James Beard House, the unassuming West Village brownstone that’s the former home of the legendary late American chef and cookbook author, deemed the “dean of American cookery” by the New York Times, whose quarters…
Late last year, Pete Kallas, the owner of Steakhouse 10, the Athenian, Undici Ristorante and Greeks Gone Wild, a fast-casual joint in the DU ‘hood, snapped up the digs of a former Fuhgidabowdit Pizzeria outpost — directly next door to the Greek den — which has sat dark for the…
The person I was having a late breakfast with wasn’t crazy about the “salad” on his eggs Benedict, but the hash browns are always a hit, as is the lemon-misted hollandaise sauce. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s…
Denver is blessed with many great restaurants — some modest, some considerably more ambitious — and yesterday, Kendra Anderson served up six moderately-priced restaurants that happen to have very impressive wine lists. Their wine lists night be “super cool,” but the rest of the post’s headline was not…
The tables are tall, the Wrangler-wearing drinkers taller, and the tales taller still at this classic dive. Can you guess where I’m drinking? 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 every Monday, we…
The Qdoba at Sixth and Grant has housed Coca-Cola’s 100-flavor freestyle soda fountain for three weeks now, but the Terminator of the carbonated world is still creating lines all the way to the door. I stopped by this morning to watch the drink behemoth in action and came away as…
The long-awaited and often-rescheduled opening of Charcoal is finally happening on Monday. The high-ceiling, sharp-lined space has been transformed from the old Apple Spice Junction. The decor is defined by dark tile and rock pieces, and the open kitchen is the centerpiece: big, beautiful and full of potential…
As it turns out, the Shops at Northfield Stapleton were not the perfect spot for Guy Harvey, the famous artist and conservationist. Earlier this month, Guy Harvey’s Perfect Spot, a bar/restaurant/retail store decked out in fishing decor, closed less than a year after it opened in the outdoor mall…
When it opened three years ago under chef Olav Peterson, Bistro One had more highbrow aspirations — but under chef-owner Alex Waters and his wife, Diane, it’s evolved into a neighborhood joint with a menu of French comfort food and a crowd of regulars who like to spend lazy evenings…
The stretch of Platte Street that heads up from 15th Street is one of the hottest restaurant areas in town, with Sushi Sasa swimming in business since it opened six years ago, Colt & Gray packing in the crowds since it joined the scene in August 2009 and Denver Beer…
Simon Purvis EDGE at the Four Seasons 1111 14th Street 303-389-3000 www.fourseasons.com/denver/dining Favorite restaurant in America: I had an exceptional meal in L.A. at José Andrés’s restaurant, Bazaar. It was packed, so the ambience was electric, I bumped into a former colleague, the food was good, the decor was stylish,…
Pity the poor Rocky Ford cantaloupe, vilified across the country even though the listeria-inducing culprit actually came from Jensen Farms, a third-generation family operation in Holly, almost a hundred miles away from Rocky Ford. But those farmers of southeastern Colorado have little recourse. Even though Colorado is the only state…
The gang’s all beer, now that the town is filling up with hops-heavy events in honor of the Great American Beer Festival, just a week away. But while the GABF is popular, does it need a makeover? That’s what Jonathan Shikes suggests in “Five ways to freshen up the Great…
When I dropped out of college for the first, but not last time (which I’m certain my parents are still upset about, and that my dad would be genuinely hurt if I didn’t mention geaux Tigers here), I reluctantly moved in with my older sister and her then husband. I…
