Brunch is the best time to eat at Satchel’s Market, but don’t try it this weekend. The restaurant is dark right now, with a note on the menu posted on the door at 5021 East 28th Avenue noting that Satchel’s is on summer vacation until early August. When the spot…
“We want people to understand the quality of produce that we use here at the restaurant,” says Max Mackissock, exec chef of the Squeaky Bean, the seasonally-driven, New American restaurant with an alter to the late Farrah Fawcett and a thimble-size kitchen that’s rolling out its summer farm stand today…
If you’re lunching at the Steuben’s Food Truck in Civic Center Park today, you could win a free slice of coconut cake if you’re one of the first two people to tell the crew where Steuben’s found its truck, which has since named Pearl. We’ll give you a hint: The…

It’s Sunday night at Yak and Yeti, and most of the tables in the upstairs alcove are full. I find myself whispering over our feast, desperately trying to keep my table’s conversation private. “WHAT?” my father yells. “WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU WHEN YOU MUMBLE.” I feel so self-conscious that…
After 22 years, 14th Street Bar and Grill, the Boulder restaurant that’s been slinging California cuisine from its address at 1400 Pearl Street since 1988, is calling it quits. One of Boulder’s first restaurants to instill a real wood-burning oven, which produced some killer pizzas and smoky burgers, the popular…
The hot chicks at Hot Chick-a-Latte are decked out in their 911 Emergency gear today (the bikini barista coffee shop at 4736 East Colfax Avenue, has a different theme every day), but its the now-closed Perky Cups, which operated a similar business in Aurora until last month, that may need…
When news came down that an empanada vendor had set up a cart on the 16th Street Mall, I leapt from my desk chair and barreled toward the door. Lay off me, I’m starving. Starving, at least, for empanadas, which are magical little pockets of golden dough filled with meats…
PETA may be blocked– at least for now — from erecting a chicken statue in the middle of the 16th Street Mall here in Denver, but the group managed to pull off a pretty gruesome stunt yesterday in New York City. Around noon, nearly naked protesters covered themselves with fake…
That monstrosity of a dessert, heaped with whipped cream and wreathed in fresh berries, gives the Dairy Queen sundae a run for its calories. 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 is entered into…

The plush digs at Restaurant Kevin Taylor in the Hotel Teatro reflect the decade in which it was built, channeling the boom of the 1990s with lavish gold touches and opulent furniture. We’ve come a long way since then — two recessions to be exact — and now, the gold’s…
What do you get when you mix food from Burger King and a trip to the bathroom? An extended stay in the stall. An unidentified man was found dead in the men’s room at a Burger King in Beaumont, Utah. According to Jeff Curl of the Beaumont police, there was…
Apparently lagniappe wasn’t enough to sustain Saucy, the Southern-style barbecue joint that opened in late January at 2200 Market Street, a tough space that swallowed Otto’s Grill and Brix before spitting out Saucy earlier this week. Nearly everything in the restaurant is up for auction, including six flat-screen TVs, conference…
How do you feel about eating in public? How about eating in public with a bunch of strangers while onlookers examine your personal eating habits? That’s what artist Tsehai Johnson is asking people to do at tonight’s performance piece in Riverfront park, where adventurous diners will gather at 6:30 p.m.,…
In 2003, Leigh Sullivan was questioning what a lot of us in Denver ponder when discussing the Denver dining climate. Why, she wondered, is everyone focusing on the restaurants and chefs in San Francisco, Chicago and New York, when, in fact, Denver has its own vibrant culinary landscape? A landscape,…
There’s bad food, and then there’s airline food, barely edible foil-wrapped meals that command a category of terrible taste all to themselves. Unsurprisingly, a couple of airlines out there are realizing that if they improve the quality of their meals a bit, especially in first class, they’ll have a competitive…
A month after closing Gelman’s at 2911 West 38th Avenue, owner Michelle Gelman just reopened the space as Boston Fish Shack, a New England-inspired grubbery that’s doling out classic seafood shack plates like fish and chips, cioppino, Maryland crab cakes, lobster rolls and New England seafood chowder. “With the progression…
As usual, I’m lovin’ the pig, and the pork on the above plate, served with watercress, pecans and something mustardy, which I won’t reveal, because, then, it would make this little guessing game far too easy, more than satisfied my enslavement to swine. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special…
When this week’s edition of Civic Center Eats kicks off in a couple of hours, it should be one big, happy family of vendors. That’s because Colorado Fresh Markets, which runs three of the town’s biggest markets and has its vendors sign a non-compete agreement that technically prohibits them from…
Thai Patton is serious about espresso. He’s a smooth operator behind the bar at The Cup Espresso Café, 1521 Pearl Street in Boulder, pulling shots using a rhythmic routine, creating perfect foam, shouting out morning orders over the din of an ever-present crowd. There’s more to making a latte than…
Michael Long had news, but he wasn’t going to share it with me over the phone. “Let’s meet for lunch,” he insisted, “and I’ll tell you all about it.” Over xiao long bao, seaweed salad and beef noodle soup at Lao Wang Noodle House, Long detailed the plans for a…
