Since 2017 I’ve been following the multi-million dollar development project on the corner of Chestnut and 20th with a great deal of curiosity. This was mainly due to the fact that the build of the new Hilton Garden Inn Union Station needed to incorporate the small land-marked brick building that existed on the plot. I […]
After 20 years of serving the Colorado community under the moniker Backcountry Delicatessen, co-founders Peter Boniface and David Pepin have put a new spin on their operation, recently rebranding their five store mini-chain to Yampa Sandwich Company. While gourmet takes on turkey, chicken, and roast beef sandwiches can be had, some of their most compelling […]
In my opinion, Dio Mio has only gotten better with time and has become one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Denver. Chef/owners Alex Figura and Spencer White opened their restaurant in the fall of 2016 and have since turned their debut dining experience into the ultimate punk rock pasta shop. With a pay at […]
Denver’s Lola Coastal Mexican recently got a full physical and culinary rehaul, injecting new life into the 13-year-old Mexican restaurant on Boulder Street in LoHi.⠀⠀The new space features the classic maritime color combo of blue and white – emphasizing the coastal Baja vibe reflected in partner chef Javier Plascencia‘s new menu.

There’s a particular stretch of 17th Avenue, between Humboldt and Franklin, where you can find a cluster of excellent neighborhood restaurants (Olive & Finch, Humboldt Farm, Fish, Wine, etc.). In May of 2017, this two block stretch gained another killer dining option when Jason and Chris Wallenta opened up White Pie, a contemporary pizza restaurant. […]
UPDATE: 9/5/19: Call will temporarily close for rennovations for the fall/winter of 2019-2020. Last service will be on Sunday, September 29, 2019 and the restaurant is expected to reopen in the spring of 2020. We’ve finally made it through the (May) snow and hail, Denver! Time to slip on the shades, bask in the sun, […]
It’s time for another installment of my self-appointed quest to find the Best Ramen in Denver. Although I had already tried the chicken shio ramen at Jeff Osaka’s joint, Sushi-rama, I could not resist an invitation to try some additional bowls at the original source of Chef Osaka’s ramen empire — Osaka Ramen in RiNo. […]
Admittedly, when I first received the invite to stop by Spanky’s Roadhouse for brunch I was puzzled. When I think brunch, I don’t really think of stopping by a roadhouse. Do you even know what the word “roadhouse” means? According to Merriam-Webster it is “an inn or tavern usually outside city limits providing liquor and […]
Another bowl a ramen slurped means another contender to be added to my list for the Best Ramen in Denver. I recently headed to chef Jeff Osaka’s joint, Sushi-rama, after hearing they were adding a few of the same ramens offered at his other restaurant, Osaka Ramen, to the menu at the DTC and Lone […]
