Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
This week, Gretchen Kurtz chatted with chef Max MacKissock, chef/partner at new Italian sensation Bar Dough, who dished on his favorite hidden gems in Denver, including Buchi Cafe Cubano. Across town, Mark Antonation visited another Cuban gem, the Cuba Bakery & Cafe, which has been run by Miami transplant Orlando Colombe since 2013. And speaking of bakeries, we also brought you our list of the eleven best bakeries in Denver.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
