We reported this morning about today’s liquor-license hearing for the new Snooze location at 700 Colorado Boulevard. And now, I thought I’d pass along the good news to all you pancake junkies in the neighborhood: It looks like all systems are go. I just got off the phone with Jon…

Tony’s Market opened its fourth location, at 950 Broadway, on Monday. And today that store will introduce an amenity that none of those other Tony’s outposts can boast: The Bistro, which will not only serve foods made in the Tony’s kitchen (and its on-site pizza oven), but will also be…
Construction is already under way on a second Snooze slated to open sometime this summer at 700 Colorado Boulevard. And today will be critical for fans of Snooze breakfasts, and those eye-opening cocktails: The liquor-license hearing for the new location is set for 1:30 p.m. at the Wellington E. Webb…
At 7 p.m. tonight, Mezcal, the rollicking Mexican cantina at 3230 East Colfax Avenue, is hosting an Ocho Tequila tasting dinner cooked by exec chef Sean Yontz, who’s preparing a four-course feast, paired with small batch tequilas from Ocho, Mexico, for $35 per person.

Shrimp with gralic sauce?” “I love shrimp with gralic sauce. Get some of that.” “Sour taste cabbage? Or Triple Delight? What do you suppose that is?” she asked, and smiled. I responded, mind soaking in the gutter, and we giggled like kids hearing their first dirty joke. “Oh, wait. What…
In this week’s Cafe review, I declared China Jade possibly the best Chinese restaurant in the city. And when I told a few of my fellow gastronauts what I was about to do, here’s what they all wanted to know: Is it better than Chopsticks? For the past few years,…
Last week, I tried to crash join the exclusive Highland Mommies web site, mostly because I wanted to read all the preliminary gossip surrounding the Squeaky Bean, the new restaurant from Johnny Ballen that opened Memorial Day morning at 3301 Tejon Street. I’m sorry to report, however, that I just…
This month, the Colorado Restaurant Association inducted three more people into its hall of fame, an honor bestowed on those who’ve had a huge impact on the Colorado restaurant world. We’re profiling all three here on Cafe Society. First up is Tom Wilscam, who has his fingerprints on many institutions…
… and I’ve got nothing. No jokes. No snarky comments. What has the state of politics come to when the VPOTUS — not exactly a man known as a tough target, not exactly a man who flies under the journalistic radar — comes to my town and does absolutely fuck-all that’s…
A few weeks ago, I reported that Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse had gone dark at 1445 Market Street. Now, according to the website of Schur Success Auction Services, the late temple of testosterone has “defaulted on taxes owed to the City of Denver,” which means that if you’re in the market…

Just got word that things aren’t exactly rosy at The Red Room, 320 East Colfax Avenue. There’s a small sign on the front door that says, “Closed for remodeling,” which isn’t a good sign at all, especially considering that the bar underwent a re-haul late last year. But you know…
The corner of 32nd Avenue and Tejon is hopping. Cebiche’s old home is (slowly) turning into Chavin, and the North Star Brewery is being transformed into the LoHi SteakBar. And right between the two, Mary Janes Pizza will open in June at 2013 West 32nd Avenue. According to the flier…
Strings, at 1700 Humboldt Street, is hosting an intimate Chef’s Table dinner at 8 p.m. tonight with exec chef Lance Barto, who will cook a five-course feast focusing on the food and wines of Spain. The dinner is $75 (inclusive of tax and tip), with wine pairings, but if you’re…

The folks behind the Cellar Wine Bar, slated for the former home of the Red Door at 2556 15th Street, have applied with the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses for a beer and wine liquor license. They’ll meet with neighbors and the board of Highland United Neighbors tonight at…
“It’s a common misconception that Chicago-style pizza is limited to deep dish and stuffed pies,” laments Tammy Maleckas, owner of Belemonti’s Pizzeria. There are even residents of Chicago, she says, who “don’t realize that their own city has its own distinctive style of thin crust pies — a very thin…
Two months ago I posted a blog about Rock N Soul’s attempt to stay afloat in the tough economy. I just talked to owner Sheryl Radetsky about how things are going, and while she says they’re making progress, the place isn’t out of the woods yet. “We currently have 21…
The long-delayed Squeaky Bean finally made its debut Monday — and no one was happier to see the open doors than the folks at Rosa Linda’s Mexican Cafe, right next door at at 2005 West 33rd Avenue. “It has been a rough road for all involved, but it’s now open…
