So naturally, we contacted Nelson Perkins, the executive chef/owner of Colt & Gray, who called bullshit.
"Thank you for fact checking, because nothing could be further from the truth," insists Perkins, setting the record straight. In fact, he adds, "we're hoping to expand this year -- not go away." The confusion, it seems, stems from the fact that, as of February 1, Colt & Gray will close on Mondays -- and only on Mondays -- although it will be open on Valentine's Day (a Monday) and both Mondays during Denver Restaurant Week. In addition, notes Perkins, "we'll most likely also be open on both Labor Day and Memorial Day for some sort of special event or party."
And, as a cautionary note to tweeters and gossipers, Perkins has this to say: "I hope all the industry busybodies will some day learn to get their facts right."
We'll eat and drink to that.
