Brothers Hanzel and Eder Yáñez won fans quickly with the authentic Pueblan fare they served at Chili Verde, the restaurant they opened in LoHi in the summer of 2009. But running the place turned out to be bumpier than importing their mother’s recipes to Denver. In December 2011, a kitchen…

If we referred to “the weekend’s most exciting sports event,” we couldn’t blame you for assuming we meant the Super Bowl. But we’ve got another entry in that category: the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls’ 2013 season opener. On Saturday, the Doom Daisies took on the Red Ridin’ Hoods at the Fillmore…
How did you spend what might have been the strangest Super Bowl in history? Those of you who are strict fans of the Ravens or the 49ers probably spent it glued to a TV — maybe even one that belongs to a local sports bar, like these two that fed…
