Mad Greens

Mad Greens was planted in 2004 in the south Denver suburbs, and has since sprouted into eleven locations along the Front Range, each of them ready to serve up some leafy greens as a respite from all those burgers, fries and burritos. Mad Greens’ concept is simple: Quick-fast-in-a-hurry healthy meals offered in a clean but […]

Maddie’s

Gayor Geller opened the first Maddie’s in 2013, naming the tiny breakfast eatery after his daughter. Maddie was just a toddler at the time, but both she and her namesake restaurant have grown up. In November 2016, Geller unveiled a brand-new version of Maddie’s – right next door to the original – that seats more […]

Maggiano’s Little Italy

This branch of Brinker International, which also owns Chili’s, is fancier than its corporate sibling — and it’s definitely several steps above Olive Garden in the Italian chain-food world, with items priced accordingly. The extensive lunch and dinner menus offer traditional and specialty pastas, chef’s favorite plates, and various preparations of shrimp, chicken, beef, pork […]

Maggie & Molly’s Sweet Life

Founded in 2005, Maggie & Molly’s operated as an online business until it finally opened a bricks-and-mortar store on Sixth Avenue in May 2010. But whether you order the goods online for delivery or pick them up in person, every item is made from scratch. The offerings include cakes, pies, pastries, breakfast items, cookies and […]

Magness Arena

Magness Arena — the 7,200-seat, multi-purpose sports arena at the University of Denver — hosts DU’s teams, first and foremost, but the Pioneers basketball and ice-hockey players are far from the only people to grace the floors of this venue. Completed in 1999 as part of the university’s new Ritchie Center sports complex, the arena […]

Major Tom

Call, which debuted in 2017, got a lot of buzz when it landed on Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants list, but that concept didn’t survive the pandemic. Chef-owner Duncan Holmes and crew didn’t slow down, though. In 2023, the team earned a Michelin star for Beckon, its upscale tasting-menu concept; it also debuted the à […]

Makan Malaysian Cafe

Before she opened Makan Malaysian Cafe in the summer of 2012, Karen Wee Lin Tan Beckman, a native of Malaysia, gained many fans at the Old South Pearl Street farmers’ market, where she had a stand for four years, stocked with many of the dishes that are now favorites at her restaurant on the same […]

MAKfam

Chef Kenneth Wan grew up as a restaurant kid – his parents are from Hong Kong and opened a Chinese American joint after immigrating to the U.S. He and his wife, Doris Yuen, started slinging Hong Kong-style French toast in NYC before moving to Colorado and opening Meta Asian Kitchen inside Avanti in 2019. In […]

Mali Thai Cuisine

Some may like it hot, but that’s not what the people behind Mali Thai Cuisine, which opened in late 2012 in south Denver, believe. “American people, some never eat Thai food,” says general manager Alex Tongbua, a native of Thailand. “We tend to give things mild.” And that’s a shame, especially if you’re trying to […]

Mama Jo’s Biscuits and BBQ

A lot can happen in four years: Just ask husband-and-wife duo Ben and Jodi Polson, who launched their food truck, Mama Jo’s, in 2021. Recently, they took their business to the next level by opening a brick-and-mortar location in the former home of Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs on Colfax. The inspiration for the original food truck […]

Manna From Heaven Gourmet Food Truck

Most restaurateurs would be wary of comparing their food with manna from heaven — and a food truck that does so would seem to have an extra bar of credibility to clear. Nonetheless, the connection between the name of the Manna From Heaven van and the food that comes out of this tiny, family-run mobile […]
