Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
This week Gretchen Kurtz reviewed twelve,Jeff Osaka's restaurant that will celebrate its fifth anniversary with a big bash Monday. For Chef and Tell, Lori Midson talked to Jesper Jonsson of Randolph's about his long culinary trip to the Warwick Hotel. And Mark Antonation reached New China Kitchen in his Federal Case series.
We also discovered that some trouble has been brewing in the micro-brewery world, with Former Future Brewing hit with a cease-and-desist letter even before it opened its doors. And we learned that the first three Trader Joe's stores in Colorado will open on February 14, 2014.
