This week in Cafe Society, Gretchen Kurtz visited Adelita's Cocina Y Cantina to find out why the Tuesday special is the taco the town. The Denver Cat Company, only the third cat cafe in the U.S., opened its door today -- but only a little, since the owner didn't want to let the cats out. And Mark Antonation continued his quest for Colorado's unique version of green chile -- the kind that's decidedly more orange -- with a stop at Tacos Jalisco.

For the second year running, Denver International Airport has been named one of the top ten airports in the country for healthy food options. (The people keeping score must not have tried the $17 chicken-fried steak burrito at Elway's.) And with locations at DIA and LoHi, Root Down is a great bet for finding one of the ten best eggs Benedicts in Denver. In other news:
