Luciano’s Pizza and Wings, a Buffalo-style joint that has attracted numerous fans over the years (including upstate New York native Jason Sheehan) and sparked some discussion after our recent “Denver’s five best wings” list, is closed — at least for now. The “open” sign is off, and there’s a lockout…
Six years ago, Cafe Berlin gave up its longstanding Seventeenth Avenue address to move downtown, picking up the lease on a vast, bright space on Tremont and Fourteenth Streets. But the spot served its last meal in those digs on April 23, in anticipation of a new move just a…
Blink — and you’ll miss it. Not that Frankie Gallegos is worried about anyone actually doing anything of the sort, despite the fact that Frankie’s Cheesesteaks and More, his new cheesesteak joint, which opened promptly at 3:30 p.m. last Friday, is about the size of a button mushroom…
Tonight, chefs and restaurateurs from around the country will claim medals — shiny tokens that dub them the best in the country at their craft — at the James Beard Awards ceremony in New York City. In anticipation of the event, Andrew Knowlton, restaurant and drinks editor at Bon Appetit,…
There are all sorts of new additions to this old restaurant, but the board, entrenched in Americanism, has largely remained the same, holding true to its canvas of steaks, chops and side dishes like creamed spinach. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct…
Dave Query, the man behind the Big Red F restaurant group — including the Jax Fish House outposts in Denver and Boulder (and, soon, Fort Collins), Lola, West End Tavern, Centro and, most relevant right now, Happy — is happy. At least, he sure looked that way Sunday, shown fly-fishing…
Cafe Society served up five Guess Where contests last week, featuring everything from Russo’s Kitchen + Tavern, which pours Nora beer, to a platter of In-N-Out burgers (which means Lori Midson definitely wasn’t eating in Denver) to this plate of African cuisine, including goat meat. For correctly guessing that it…
The discussion of our Denver’s five best wings list has really taken off, with readers pushing everything from Highland Tap and Burger to Moe’s Original Bar-B-Que to Marco’s Coal-Fired Pizzeria. From Toddicus: I’ve eaten wings at most of the places listed and still have yet to find wings as good…
We’re just about ready to take off to join the trucks taking part in the Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race, which is happening all around Denver, right this very minute, but before we venture out, we wanted to give you the very latest round of truck location updates:…
The Roslyn Grill was always one of Denver’s most colorful dives, both in its original location on 14th Street and then when it relocated two decades ago to 504 East Colfax Avenue. The Roslyn closed for good early this year, but the space will soon be resurrected as Prohibition…
No. 63: Bouillabaisse from Deluxe…
Just got off the phone with someone very closely connected to the Lime Truck, the Irvine restaurant on wheels that’s barreled into Denver this weekend to strut its stuff during the The Great Food Truck Race — and we’ve got a few updates to pass along…
Armed with a portable oven and mobile sous vide license, Kelly Whitaker has been putting the finishing touches on Mobile Basta, the traveling extension of Pizzeria Basta that’s capable of reproducing the entire menu of the Boulder restaurant on the street. He’ll debut the fruits of his labor today: Mobile…
The Colorado House gave light beer lovers a Cinco de Mayo present yesterday, passing Senate Bill 60 — which would allow bars and restaurants to sell any beer, no matter how light — on a second reading. And now word has come in that SB 60 just passed the full…
We’ve got all the ongoing coverage and scoop of the Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race in Denver this weekend, but just a very quick update to yesterday’s post about truck locations: The Korilla BBQ Truck, hailing from New York, will be parked in front of Steuben’s on Saturday…
After giving up on having a late lunch in the dining room, thanks to a cranky server with no concept whatsoever of service, we still managed to enjoy a bowl of gumbo and a few beers at the bar, overseen by an affable tender that bought our first round. Can…
The gourmet food trucks competing in the Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race, which, as you already know, is all the buzz in Denver right now, are finally in the Mile High City, cruising the asphalt, frantically running around getting product, taking over commissary kitchens — The inventing Room’s…
Denver has a lot of great burger joints (see our Five Best Burgers list here), but one iconic chain remains elusive. And just a photo of its burgers was enough to get readers salivating — and Steveo65 fuming: There should be a law against posting pictures of In-N-Out when the…
You can tell summer is approaching not just because the air is warmer, but menus around town are heating up, introducing lighter dishes that feature seasonal produce. Some of those board changes look particularly delicious. Here are five that caught our eye:…
After I ate at Silla for this week’s review — and before I discovered the bibim naeng myun at Sae Jong Kwan — I decided to try Grandma’s Korean BBQ, a popular spot that had relocated from Sixth Avenue to 11650 Montview Boulevard in Aurora after Song Park, the woman…
Inspired by how the nearby Atomic Cowboy added Fat Sully’s and Denver Biscuit Company to its amenities, David Senger decided to put an authentic taco shop inside his bar, 3014. And Odelay Tacos will make its debut at 4 p.m. today, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. The menu…
Because, you know, we don’t already have enough eatertainment in Denver this weekend to satiate our hunger pains, what with The Great Food Truck Race motoring into the Mile High metropolis and gazillions of Cinco de Mayo celebrations, now comes word that past contestants from Bravo’s Top Chef are making…
