Don’t let my petite frame fool you — I love to eat. Discovering great new places to eat is one of my favorite things to do.

Now that I live in Denver, I’m so excited to discover the great meals that the great state of Colorado has to offer. I try to keep a no-meat policy, but I do make the occasional exception (usually when it comes to ramen, which always seems to have pork in it). Hopefully a few of my finds will become some of your new favorite places to eat!

I may not be a native, but I’ve been here long enough to know that doing brunch at the Brown Palace is a thing.

For my latest installment in my quest to find the Best Ramen in Denver, I stopped by Mizu Izakaya in LoHi. I was cautiously optimistic to try the ramen based on the overall positive reviews of the restaurant I found online. And as luck would have it, we also happened to be there during their Happy Hour […]
