Sunnyside’s new all-day eatery, Bacon Social House, opened this morning at the corner of 44th Avenue and Alcott Street. Standing on the street, you would find it hard to guess that an architecturally impressive, two-story restaurant is now part of the neighborhood landscape. But a peek inside the Cobbler’s Corner…
Like a sculptor prepping an exquisite block of marble to reveal the statue concealed within, Dale Woerner hesitates for a moment, his just-sharpened ten-inch breaking knife poised for the first crucial cut. This well-marbled specimen isn’t a slab of metamorphic rock, though, but a nearly 25-pound chuck roll isolated from…
Denver loves pho. That much is obvious when you drive down Federal Boulevard or Havana Street and see that certain Vietnamese noodle houses are packed every night of the week; further afield, pho houses keep popping up in shopping centers in Longmont, Castle Rock and everywhere between. Part of the…
The Westin Hotel at Denver International Airport opened on Friday, featuring several new food and beverage options, plus plenty of great views from restaurants, lounges, guest rooms and special-events space. The Westin brings its Grill & Vine concept to the new hotel, the third overall, with two others in San…
No. 5: Baguettes from Babettes Artisan Breads Baker Steve Scott opened Babettes in the Source two years ago, adding a traditional French boulangerie to the mix of other specialty and artisan food producers in the factory-turned-marketplace. A peek behind the burgeoning bread counter reveals an array of flaky croissants, sugar-dusted…
This is a short work week, but you’re going to need plenty of coffee to get through to Thursday. Fortunately, there are shops all over town pouring the stuff right now, including the Allegro Coffee Roasters that just opened at 4040 Tennyson Street. The first full-service Allegro shop (there’s another…
The new Westin Hotel at Denver International Airport opened on Friday, bringing several food and drink options. The “Flying Mustache,” as many have dubbed it, sports a futuristic bar in the arch-ceilinged main lobby; a grab-and-go coffee and snack room with a stunning walkout patio facing the incoming light rail…
The very existence of Rebel Restaurant in industrial north Denver, with its roasted animal heads and whole octopus artistically plated on grandma’s china, is proof that Denver’s dining scene has arrived, according to Gretchen Kurtz’s review of the brave little eatery stashed inside a nondescript former dive bar. Upscale comfort…
This weekend is your last chance to taste chef Matt Selby’s work at Central Bistro & Bar. The veteran chef came to Isiah Salazar’s place on the edge of Highland in early 2014, a few months after leaving the now-closed Corner House in Jefferson Park. Selby not only revamped the…
Rhein Haus opened at 1415 Market Street in LoDo last night, bringing German beer-hall cheer by way of Seattle, where the original Rhein Haus is located. The shrine to sausage took over the space vacated by Old Chicago in March 2014, adding second floor space that was last used as…
The location definitely rebels against the norm, and the exterior doesn’t hint that inside is one of Denver’s most exciting new restaurants. But this Rebel definitely has a cause: good food. Gretchen Kurtz raves about the place in her review of Rebel Restaurant, and readers agree with her assessment. Says…
When they bought the four-decade-old White Fence Farm last year, Craig Caldwell and Tom Piercy definitely appreciated what founder Charlie Wilson had created in Lakewood, but they also thought the White Fence Farm concept had potential to field a farm team of fried-chicken outlets, where fans could grab a meal…
Impatient potheads frequently gripe about the delayed effect of edibles, but a new product line claims that you won’t have to wait any longer to get high. Quigley’s Fast-Acting Cannabis Shot, a marijuana-infused beverage that says it “typically can be felt within seconds, building within a few minutes,” will be…
When MOD Pizza came to town from Seattle just over a year ago, I wondered about the similarity between the name of the rapidly expanding pizza chain and Modmarket, Denver’s own fast-casual pizza, salad and sandwich empire. So I checked with Modmarket co-founder Anthony Pigliacampo, who told me, “We believe…
The third Dae Gee will open soon at 460 Broadway — but it can’t be soon enough for fans of Korean food. And especially for fans of all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue. Lauren Monitz recently checked out that deal at the second Dae Gee, at 827 Colorado Boulevard, and while she was…
Rod Tafoya and his Denver-based Mission Yogurt, Inc. have completed the purchase of the building at 1518 South Pearl Street that formerly housed the ambitious, if ill-conceived Session Kitchen created by the Breckenridge-Wynkoop group — and, before that, the original Izakaya Den. But don’t expect this stunning space to become the world’s…
Cobbler’s Corner, a historic building at the corner of 44th Avenue and Alcott Street in Sunnyside, has been getting a major makeover this year thanks to co-owner Jack Pottle and restaurant and real-estate developer Paul Tamburello. The building, which originally housed a shoe shop operated by Pottle’s grandparents in the…
No. 6: Chicken and Waffles at Revelry Kitchen We’re not one to jump on food trend bandwagons just for the sake of it. Chicken and waffles, a dish that made its way from regional act to national headliner a few years ago, just seemed like two completely different food substances…
Tom’s Home Cookin’ has listed its building in Five Points — where it has served weekday lunch, and lunch only, to fans for two decades. Cook/owners Tom Unterwagner and Steve Janousky say they’re just kicking the tires, to find out how much the property might go for; they bought it…
When I left New York more than a decade ago, foodies (as they were known then) felt a little sorry for me. What was a food writer to do in a town known for steakhouses and omelets? But who’s sorry now? Today this Colorado cowtown is on the national food…
When we think of food and Albuquerque, we tend to think of chile — red or green — and not much else, especially when it comes to exporting the culinary offerings of New Mexico beyond the state’s dusty borders. But a couple of ABQ restaurateurs are out to prove that…
The Berkeley neighborhood’s newest coffeehouse, Allegro Coffee Roasters, opens tomorrow at 8 a.m. on the corner of Tennyson Street and 41st Avenue, featuring nineteen different micro-lot coffees roasted in-house. This is Allegro’s first free-standing coffeehouse and the third Allegro Coffee Roasters (or ACR) in the country, with the other two…
