With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, you need to decide how you’re going to let your significant other know how much you love and appreciate his or her constant nagging, er, companionship. Chef Rahman “Rock” Harper, a past winner of Hell’s Kitchen, wants to help, and has served up a platter…

This just in from Deluxe Burger, the joint venture between Dylan Moore (Delite, Deluxe) and Mod Livin’ that was supposed to open February 14 at 5325 East Colfax Avenue (and has been pushing that date on billboards around town): TRUE LOVE (IN A BUN) TAKES TIME!! We spent, hours prepping…
For those who have no qualms about digging into a couple of Double Stacks, vegan cheese on pizza might sound horrendous, right up there with fake bacon. But no one’s complaining about the vegan, non-dairy Daiya cheese now offered at The Rebellion, a year-old pizza joint at 2231 South Broadway…

This is part two of James Mazzio’s Chef and Tell interview. To read part one, click here. What you’d like to see more of in Denver from a culinary standpoint: More chefs going out on their own and expressing their individual culinary talent rather than working for chain restaurants and…
How to know if you’re boring? Give a speech at a middle school on fruits and vegetables. There I was, droning on and on as a guest speaker, watching the kids work in their first nap of the day, heads lolling, spit dribbling, with the occasional head-jerk movements shorting out…
Valentine’s Day is only a few days away, and cougars are on the prowl for cubs to nip on the nape and nuzzle into doing a cougar’s bidding. Any mellow young fellow looking for the love of a cougar should easily be able to achieve hot-tub bliss if he keeps…

You’ll either know exactly where this dish — buttered Malaysian flatbread with a boldly spiced and brothy curry sauce — comes from, or you won’t. But knowing this crowd, my bets are on sooner, rather than later. Ready, set, guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first…
James Mazzio sneaks a look at his ticker. He’s doing a dinner for a hundred people in less than three hours and his cooks need him on the line. It’s the final hurrah in his three-month stint at Le Chateau, the French restaurant where he’s been cooking since last October…
Back in 1986, when Paris on the Platte opened at 1553 Platte Street, in the no man’s land between LoDo and Highland, there was no Sushi Sasa, no Colt & Gray — just My Brother’s Bar over on the corner of 15th Street. But the little coffeehouse hung on, adding…
Things are going swimmingly at Sushi Sasa, the ambitious sushi restaurant in the no-longer no-man’s land between downtown and Highland. They’re going so well, in fact, that Sushi Sasa is doubling the size of its dining room. The expansion was made possible when the Wilderness Exchange moved to the corner…
Hungry for another taste of Jason Sheehan? Here’s how he officially introduced himself to Seattle, the city where he’s now the restaurant reviewer for the Seattle Weekly, our partner paper, which has already netted this response: “Welcome to Seattle you condescending fuck.” His first review hits the street this week…
Marty Meitus’s longtime job as food editor disappeared with the Rocky Mountain News last February.

If zipping off to Canada for some bathroom sex doesn’t say “Happy Valentine’s Day” to you, how about a fast trip to Scandinavia, where Valentine is one of the most popular saints? Consider these charming Scandinavian customs:…
There’s nothing that beats the gravy fries at Steuben’s or the cheese fries at Jonsey’s EatBar, but these French fries, pelted with bacon and ribbons of scallions, drizzled with mild cheese sauce and served with a side of housemade ranch dressing, certainly do justice to the lowly tuber. At which…
You can agree to disagree, but Sunday’s Super Bowl left much to be desired. The spread was wide, all of the commercials seemed to be created by a sleep-deprived schizophrenic coming off of a Ritalin bender, and The Who should clearly never perform again. Ever. We’ll chalk it up as…
