The other day a friend asked to name a great steak or Italian restaurant in Denver that would be great for a special occasion dinner. I immediately replied, “Quality Italian — it has both steak AND Italian food!” and then went on to describe some of the most memorable dishes I’ve sampled there. This reminded me […]
Last Thursday was the stuff dreams were made of, the 4th annual Top Taco in Denver, located at the RiNo Festival Grounds. With over 50 participating restaurants and bars, there was so much food and drinks to be had. My brain was on stuff-your-face overload – my eyes and lizard brain told me to keep eating, overriding […]
Believe it or not, I’m not always shoving my face full of deliciously decadent food. (Even if my Instagram feed leads you to believe otherwise.) Sometimes a girl’s gotta get her “healthy” on. The awesome thing is that in recent years eating healthy is no longer synonymous with eating food that tastes like sawdust. I’ve […]
I only need three words to describe Quality Italian‘s new brunch menu for you: PASTA. FOR. BREAKFAST. Thank you, Jesus. Last weekend marked the first time the Denver offshoot of Quality Italian started offering their brunch menu and as soon as I saw breakfast pastas on the menu, I nearly lost my mind. Lucky for me, instead […]
UPDATE 12/21/2019: Sadly, Grower’s Organic has suspended their GOBOX program. The post that follows is historical information about the GOBOX program. Over the last year I’ve been reading about “ugly” produce — fruits and veggies that are thrown out because they have funny shapes or slight imperfections. Why does this happen in the first place? […]
During my first year in Denver, I’ve had lots of amazing food I haven’t had a chance to write about yet. Now that the end of the year is here, it’s time to give props to some of those fabulous spots. Here’s my list of the top best brunch or breakfasts in Denver right now: […]
UPDATE 1/1/2020: A map of all the restaurants in the 2019-2020 Denver Dining Out Passbook is now up! Plus, discount codes for the 2019-2020 Passbook. As I’ve been discovering the foodie scene here in Denver, I’ve gotten some great mileage out of the 2016 – 2017 Denver Dining Out Passbook. The Passbook offers some great deals (often […]
Earlier this year, when I saw that a “contemporary farm-to-table Thai cuisine” restaurant was opening up nearby, I was hopeful but cautious. You see, in NYC, you can’t throw a rock down a street without hitting the door of some amazing Thai/Chinese/Vietnamese/Malaysian/Japanese/etc. joint. However, much to my shock and horror, in my short time here […]
Last week I was devastated to hear that one of my favorite restaurants in Denver, Pop’s Place, closed down. I immediately felt a pit in my stomach. I had been working on a post waxing poetic about how much I loved the restaurant and now I wished that I had hunkered down and written the […]
Last weekend I hit up the Denver Flea (now known as Fetch Market) in City Park. Spent a couple of hours walking up and down all the rows, checking out all of the booths while my husband did not — he comfortably sat in the shade underneath a tree. It awesome to be able to check […]
