This week Gretchen Kurtz reviewed Old Major, where chef/owner Justin Brunson is on a mission to introduce items like foie gras, truffles and caviar to people who aren't familiar with fancier food. Mark Antonation continued his trip up Federal Boulevard with a stop atPho 79, and Lori Midson chatted with Kelly Whitaker of Pizzeria Basta about his philosophy in the kitchen and his plans for a Denver restaurant.

And in the meantime, six more restaurants opened in the metro area this week alone, three of them in Glendale's City Set complex.

Opening this week:

Big Smoke Burger, 650 South Colorado Boulevard Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria, 650 South Colorado Boulevard Harman's Eat & Drink, 2900 East Second Avenue Illegal Pete's, 270 South Broadway Mellow Mushroom, 9721 Park Meadows Drive, Lone Tree Udi's Cafe & Pizza Bar, 650 South Colorado Boulevard
