This week in Cafe Society, Gretchen Kurtz reviewed a restaurant just featured on Kitchen Nightmares, Pantaleone's, and discovered that Gordon Ramsay's wake-up call had done some good. For Chef and Tell, Lori Midson talked with Chris Canales, exec chef of Volta Mediterranean Restaurant in Boulder, about what it takes to be a chef and his favorite spot right now. And Mark Antonation, our former Federal Case correspondent, has embarked on a new adventure: Ethniche, which will explore different cuisines around Denver. And as we moved into May, we rounded up all the openings and closings of the past month for our Restaurant Roll Call for April.

OPENING THIS WEEK*: Bistro Barbes, 5021 East 28th Avenue Blue Spruce Brewing, 4151 East County Line Road Pepper Asian Bistro, 2831 East Colfax Avenue Teriyaki Madness, 2720 South Colorado Boulevard
