This week in Westword Food & Drink, Gretchen Kurtz visited Table 6 to see if the decade-old restaurant still lives up to its role as one of the early shapers of the local restaurant scene. Mark Antonation took a fun detour in his tour of Denver's Middle Eastern cuisine with a stop by Vesper Lounge, owned by another scene-maker — Frank Bonanno — for mid-week drinks and bar food. And in a throwback moment conjuring Denver's cowtown days, visiting musicians Dada Life chowed down a plate of Rocky Mountain oysters. See our slideshow of the testicle-eating (and the concert, too).

In beer news, Jonathan Shikes dropped in on a Keep Colorado Local rally at Argonaut Liquors, where Denver liquor-store owners banded together to fight a possible new law that would allow beer, wine and liquor sales in Colorado grocery stores. In other news:
