Smorz Kellogg’s Rating: Three spoons out of four. Cereal description: Corn-flour squares with rounded corners and a color scheme that runs the gamut from tan to light brown; that’s quite a range. They’re supplemented by cylindrical white marshmallows featuring streaks that are supposed to make diners think of chocolate. As…
Damn the economy — full speed ahead! The Vistas at Park Meadows Mall gains another restaurant today when White Chocolate Grill opens at 4 p.m. Although the name seems to promise a fried-ice-cream-like experience, White Chocolate’s menu actually includes a full range of American dishes, from fresh seafood flown in…

Hershey’s Candy Corn Kisses While we generally like candy corn and Hershey’s Kisses separately, we really weren’t too sure what they would taste like combined. Because when you think about it, candy corn is really just flavored like…. sugar? Maybe slightly caramely sugar? Not a flavor that would hold up…
Nine75 is slated to reopen on Friday, October 10, under its new owner, the Jet Entertainment Group. There are lots of questions involved in this deal — for example, will suppliers who’d cut off former owner Jim Sullivan return to Nine75? Will those outstanding bills be paid? How many of…
The original Santa Fe Tequila Company on Santa Fe Drive. Santa Fe Tequila Company has gotten mixed reviews (including mine) since it opened on Santa Fe Drive (technically at 901 West Tenth Avenue) last November, but that hasn’t prevented the concept from expanding to Littleton. A second Santa Fe Tequila…
Sometimes I really crave a good plate of sesame tofu. Crunchy, golden tofu that’s burning hot on the outside and so soft inside that it melts in your mouth. Crisp, steamed veggies; brown rice; sticky, sweet delicious sauce. Yum! The craving hit a couple of days ago when I was…

Steak Diane with truffled garlic mashed potatoes, and a New York strip with white cheddar sweet-potato fries. There was also a quote/unquote Niçoise — a loose chef’s interpretation with Colorado…
Before there was Limón or the Arvada Grill, chef Alex Gurevich had Cafe Bisque. I first wrote about the restaurant not long after it opened, and excoriated the harebrained international floundering of the menu. I was much more effusive about the restaurant in 2005, and even welcomed Cafe Bisque back…
Jay Chadrom hasn’t been able to settle a dispute with his landlord at the Beauvallon — but he did managed to settle something else: He just closed Aqua, his raw bar and kitchen-free restaurant at 925 Lincoln, and reports that he’s “very busy removing everything.” But some of the things…

Table for twelve, please. Here’s a hilarious joke for you: Q: What’s the difference between a rugby team and a party of bears waiting for a table at Steuben’s? A: I don’t know. No, really, I don’t. I’m referring, of course, to the gay subculture of men known for their…

Venison carpaccio with Humboldt Fog blue cheese, organic olive oil and black pepper. Chicken fingers (for lack of a better term), smoked and fried and served with summer sweet corn and blue crab…
It’s quickly becoming the story that never ends. After the surprise announcement on September 29 that Jim Sullivan was closing both Nine75 (975 Lincoln Street) and Ocean (201 Columbine Street) — the last two properties remaining in the Sullivan Restaurant Group—and all the fallout that came from staff suddenly left…
There have been lots of problems at the Landmark project in Greenwood Village — prices up, tenants out. (At one point, Sparrow was going to not only open a second restaurant in the development, but a market — but then the restaurant on Seventh Avenue closed, and Sparrow Market Cafe…
Photos by Nancy Levine. See more after the jump. I am a creature of habit, and there are a few events I look forward to every fall. I’ve attended Oktoberfest since I was old enough to drive, although I’m still confused as to why it’s in September. And no sooner…
We’ve learned a lot about fainting goats — also known as stiff-legged goats and nervous goats, goats whose propensity for falling down have earned them their own international society — since we heard that an outfit called The Fainting Goat has applied for a liquor license at 846 Broadway, just…

The Landmark project in Greenwood Village will get a big boost this week, when Comedy Works South finally opens. But what was supposed to be one of the development’s big tenants was grounded long ago: Sparrow was once going to open not just a second restaurant that played off the…
