Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
This week in Cafe Society, Gretchen Kurtz visited Namaste India, run by two young men from Nepal, that serves good -- if Americanized -- Indian fare, for her weekly review. Mark Antonation, continuing his trek up Federal Boulevard, grabbed a taste of summer at the surf-themed El Camaron Loco. For this week's Chef and Tell, Lori Midson talked to Amy Sayles, pastry chef of Panzano, who's working to make sure every dessert "is the best I can make it."
