The city’s second Über Sausage, owned by Marco Macchiaroli, Alex Gschwend, Brad Arguello and Henry DeMetteis, opened today in LoHi with a similar menu of sausage sandwiches augmented by a case slinging fresh sausages and several new dishes, including salads, a burger, a southern fried chicken sandwich and sweet and…

It’s not often that I’ll order anything with chicken, arguably the world’s most boring protein, but the chef at the restaurant where the above snap was shot convinced me to try the curried chicken panino — and I’ll admit that it was a fantastic recommendation. Can you guess where I’m…

Favorite Denver/Boulder restaurant(s) other than your own: Oak at Fourteenth. The pickles, kale…

There’s a reason why the parking lot of this panaderia and taqueria is always jam-packed with cars — the gritty Mexican food, including the diabolically good carne asada fries throttled with green chile and melty cheese, is the real deal. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who…

The crew at Crimson & Gold, a bar near the University of Denver, apparently didn’t venture outside yesterday, because while Denver’s finest meteorologists had it all wrong when they predicted that the city would be snowballed by Snowzilla-Snowmageddon-Snowpocalypse, it was definitely not “patio weather,” despite the bar’s signage pointing to…

We’ve written quite a bit about the demise of Denver’s red-sauce joints, the old-school neighborhood restaurants that once formed the nucleus of northwest Denver, or, as some called it, Little Italy. After 66 years as the city’s longest family-owned Italian restaurant, Pagliacci’s shuttered last year; the remodeled Gaetano’s, while still…

Suffice it to say that I eat out more than the general population, unless, of course, the general population can catalogue more than 450 restaurant meals in a year — which is about the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that I stomached in 2012. Pathetic, isn’t it? But all…

I’ll admit that I’ve never been terribly impressed with the restaurant climate in Vail, and let’s face it: In a resort town like this, where a fickle public chews up their restaurants and then spits them out just as fast, you’ve got to be better than good to survive (unlike,…

There are plenty of usual-suspect dishes at this Mexican restaurant, but there’s also a whole section devoted to seafood, much of it excellent, and lurking somewhere between the whole snapper and the enchiladas is the smoking molcajete crowned with every meat imaginable. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus:…

Cafe Society served up five Guess Where? contests last week, ranging from a classy cocktail from the newly remodeled Jax Fish House, to a flight of several beers from the aptly named World of Beer, to a French toast torta from a diminutive Mexican sandwich shop that also turns out…

Crimson Canary, the “Boss Italian” restaurant in Baker that Interstate Kitchen & Bar owners Andre and Aaron Lobato (they’re also brothers) and Joey Newman opened in the fall of 2011, ceased singing on Saturday night after a final dinner service.

Forget pancakes and waffles. The newest craving of breakfast-goers appears to be leaning toward tortas, in this case, a French toast torta. It’s savory, sweet and so much better than anything made with Bisquick or pulled from a L’Eggo My Eggo carton. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus:…

Beer, say some, is what makes the world go round. And here, at this center of suds, there’s seemingly enough beer to sink the world — or, at least, the stomach of one food writer whose belly sloshed for hours after the last drop was drained. Can you guess where…

Earlier this week, we posted a contest, giving one Cafe Society reader and a guest the opportunity to attend DStill’s American Craft Spirit & Cocktail Showcase, which runs tomorrow night from 6 to 10 p.m. at the McNichols Building at 144 West Colfax. We told you that 44 distilleries would…

Every year in April, hundreds of food lovers and oenophiles gather (or huddle, if the weather dictates it) in Vail for the glitzy resort town’s annual spring fling of food and wine, which kicks off this Wednesday and continues through Saturday with wine seminars, wine dinners and Nordic wine tours,…
