Lucky Pie Pizza & Tap House

Like skinny jeans and narrow ties, food is trendy. What was fashionable last year — burgers, say, or tacos — might be as out tomorrow as the boot cut. What’s a chef to do? If you’re Joe Troupe, executive chef of Lucky Pie Pizza & Taphouse, which opened under his direction in Louisville in 2010 […]

Lucky Strike Lanes

Located on the third floor of the Denver Pavilions, Lucky Strike is part bowling alley, part retro restaurant, part nighttime hangout. The hip venue delivers full-scale fun as ’50s kitsch meets 21st-century technology, with the kitchen serving up respectable bar chow like poutine, mini-corn dogs, and bacon-and-egg burgers. Rounding things out are sandwich cookies with […]

Lucy’s Burger Bar

This small burger joint serves up molten cheese-stuffed burgers for the masses. The spot’s founders hail from Minnesota – the birthplace of the OG Juicy Lucy – and brought their hometown’s creation to the Mile High City in 2021. It also serves up standard single and double burgers (with or without cheese), a chicken sandwich […]

Luigi’s Bent Noodle

The menu at Luigi’s Bent Noodle issues a challenge: “If this isn’t the best minestrone recipe you’ve ever tasted, we want your recipe.” We doubt anyone this side of Italy has anything to beat this minestrone; the bewitching brew has an appropriately rough-edged flavor and is available by the cup, the bowl and the really […]

Luigi’s Italian Restaurant

The Littleton location of the Luigi’s brotherhood (the other restaurant is in Aurora) features photos of celebs such as Marlon Brando with fake testimonials (“Your lasagne is to die for,” Don Corleone wrote), and shelves on the painted exposed-brick walls that overflow with old clocks, plastic flowers and Chianti baskets. During the day, this Luigi’s […]

M Uptown

M Uptown was formerly Hamburger Mary’s, but split from the California-based chain in late 2015. Other than the name change and rebranding, though, little has changed about the spot. Drag-queen revues and bingo, improv troupes and karaoke are regular occurrences on M’s cabaret stage, and the food and cocktails still boast campy and colorful names […]

M.C.’s Brooklyn Pizzeria

This place hits all the requisite marks, setting itself up as one of those straight-outta-the-boroughs New York pizza joints the minute you walk through the door. And even before that, the minute you hear the name: M.C.’s Brooklyn Pizzeria. But the food lives up to that name: a solid and serious board of New York […]

M&D’s Cafe

One million dollars — that’s what it cost to bring the new-and-improved M’s Cafe to life. And it was worth every penny. M&D’s barbecue flavor is particular and strong, layered with all those elements that make up the smell of the place on a good night. A naked piece of pork rib, sans sauce, is […]

Mac Nation Cafe

Mac Nation Cafe features a long, long list of mac and cheese dishes – upwards of twenty versions of the iconic dish. All are tasty, filling, and loaded with add-ons. It also turns out typical cafe fare: coffee, pastries and breakfast and deli sandwiches.

Machete – Union Station

Machete Tequila and Tacos was created and established in Denver in 2011. Our customers defined our vibe and our mission. They sought after the finest margaritas in the land and food that was created from the heart of Mexico City, DF. Machete is not bashful and loves to provide a place where everyone is welcome […]
