I spent nearly the entirety of the weekend attached to my computer in the same clothes that I slept in, which means I didn’t go out much and had to rely on delivery and takeout to satisfy my hunger pains. And thanks to this Mideast feast, lunch and dinner were…
Sweet Action won an award in the 2011 Best of Denver issue as Best Ice Cream for the Milk-Averse — and for good reason. We can’t think of another spot in Denver that offers ice cream (yes, actual ice cream) for vegans, aside from Cows Gone Coconut. So when we…
After hearing that McDonald’s, America’s favorite — and only — purveyor of Egg McMuffins, is test-marketing a new promotion, “Breakfast After Midnight,” in a few locations including Denver, I cruised into the McDoo’s at 505 East Colfax Avenue at 12:01 a.m. — only to find no breakfast. And, in fact,…
The Hooters at 1390 South Colorado Boulevard — not just the first Hooters in Denver, but the first Hooters this side of the Mississippi — is closing on Friday. The breastaurant moved into this former White Spot (not Village Inn — sorry, Steveville) space in 1989, and now the landlord…
For nearly fifteen years, Sam Taylor, owner and pitmaster of his namesake barbecue joint, occupied a no-frills space at 435 South Cherry Street, but after serving brisket, bones, pork and chicken to a longtime posse of regulars (ironically, Taylor also catered a Pretenders concert back in 2009 for a very-vegan…
Those summer bike rides to the local farmers’ market have apparently paid off. Once again, Colorado ranks lowest on the state-by-state adult obesity rate analysis, conducted by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Maybe it’s because there are so many appealing outdoor activities, or maybe…
Nooch Vegan Market — named after a common shortened name for nutritional yeast flakes, a good source of B12 and a popular ingredient in vegan cooking — opened its doors this afternoon at 3360 Larimer Street. “We’re excited to provide an environment where you don’t have to read labels,” says…
“Six pork, all day! Five crespelle, all day! One beef, mid-rare; one beef, medium! Three frito, on the fly!” On Saturday night, Amerigo Delicatus Restaurant & Market, Iain Chisholm’s new Italian restaurant on Upper Larimer, hosted a friends and family practice dinner, inviting about forty people to taste a shortened…
The Hooters at 1390 South Colorado Boulevard will close after Friday’s dinner service. According to a statement from the busty chain, the brokerage firm that owns the shopping center where this particular restaurant is located plans to redevelop the property and couldn’t come to terms on a new lease with…
The burger — what you see of it in the above snap — was all there was to the gray, crumbled mess that sat between a mammoth-size bun. As some of you would say: epic fail. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct…
Judging from the 140 submissions we received in our Denver Burger Battle contest — a contest that would give one Cafe Society reader (and a guest) two VIP tickets to the near sold-out event on the turf of Sports Authority Field at Mile High on August 22 — you people…
Yes, an eggless quiche is possible — and quite delicious — if you’re daring enough to try to make one. This easy recipe features a pressed quinoa crust for extra protein — and make sure you’re using organic tofu so you don’t get any GMO nastiness. See also: – Falafel…
Jenn Wohletz recently served up her list of “Five restaurant leftovers you should not eat the next day.” No one would quibble with her inclusion of sushi — but her name-check of Chinese food left readers hungry for an explanation…
Last year, the Scarlet Ranch swingers club moved from its space at 424 Broadway to a place in the southern ‘burbs known for an altogether different kind of meat: the former Northwoods Inn. Owner Kendall Seifert has now rechristened this location the Squirrel Creek Lodge, and has branched out beyond…
For the past three years, chef and restaurateur Richard Sandoval, who owns 35 restaurants around the world, including five in Denver and two in the mountains — the most he’s opened in any state — has been methodically planning one of his newest concepts: Al Lado, a Latin wine and…
In less than three weeks, there’s going to be a war in the Mile High City, but instead of weapons, this brawl is all about the beef, the bun, condiments, grease, blood and char. Twelve superpower burger houses and restaurants — Larkburger, Citygrille, Crave Real Burgers, Mateo, TAG, Highland Tap…
Did I finish it? No, of course not. Did I even come close? Not by a long shot. But I’m sure that some of you with bigger appetites (and, sadly, much small waistlines than I), definitely could. Go for it. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who…
So you were at a restaurant and you ordered way too much food — or just the right amount if you wanted a “fat human” box or two to take home. But in the cold gray light of dawn, last night’s chicken à la awesome could turn into today’s irritable…
We named Pinche Taqueria the Best New Restaurant in the Best of Denver 2012, and Bon Appetit agrees; in his list of the country’s fifty best new restaurants, restaurant editor Andrew Knowlton names Pinche, as well as Linger and Pizzeria Locale (even though the latter is not so new)…..
The new patio at City, O’ City, 206 East 13th Avenue, finally opened this week — almost a year after it was envisioned as part of an expansion of the dining area and kitchen. Here’s a look:…
Honest Tea produces organic tea flavored with core values of honesty and transparency, and has kept its promise of creating healthy tea from real tea leaves even after Coca-Cola bought 40 percent of its stock. But how do we, the consumers, prove we’re deserving? For the past two years, Honest…
After eleven years at 1445 Larimer Street, Pam Savage-Sims and Curt Sims closed Lime last month. But their history in the neighborhood stretches much further back than that. It’s been 27 years for Pam, who started out singing five nights a week in clubs in the Square, and 29 for…
