A week ago, three young entrepreneurs launched a new concept: Sabi Sushi, a restaurant without a restaurant that takes orders online, fills them at a local kitchen, then delivers the goods to a predetermined downtown drop zone. “First there were traditional restaurants,” co-owner Shaan Puri told Laura Shunk. “Then fast-casual,…

I’ve been scouring Denver’s Mexican joints for the best molcajete in the city, and a local chef turned me on to this one, which was good, but definitely not good enough to make me stop searching for one that’s better. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who…

Was Stranahan’s the punk rock of whiskey? That was the question posed by Sean Kenyon yesterday, in the first of his several-part series on the sale of Stranahan’s late last year — and the recent departure of head distiller Jake Norris from the company. That news inspired this response from…

Turkey legs. Everyone was eating them over the weekend at A Taste of Colorado at Civic Center Park, where the meaty beasts are downright ubiquitous.
