Denver has evolved over the past twenty years -- and so has DISH, Westword's annual celebration of the metro Denver dining scene. On Sunday, September 22, DISH will return to the Sculpture Park at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, a stunning outdoor venue on the edge of downtown. And for the first time ever, we're hosting DISH during the day, so that you can take in your surroundings, including great views of the city and some of the best food Denver has to offer. DISH attendees will enjoy samples from more than forty of Cafe Society's favorite restaurants and food trucks. as well as readers' picks from the Best of Denver 2013. There will also be samples of beer, wine and spirits, along with live entertainment to keep you moving throughout the afternoon.
