Organixx will start serving beer and wine at its eco-friendly digs in LoDo, and as soon as that’s in place, the restaurant, located at 1520 Blake Street, will launch dinner service — with an expanded menu — and happy hour, too. “Originally, our plan was mid-July, but now we’re thinking…
Just heard from Robert Thompson, owner of Argyll, the Cherry Creek gastropub that snapped up our Best of Denver 2010 Best New Restaurant award, that he got a call from the brass at the Food Network, who’s sending a film crew to Denver in August or September to shoot the…
We interrupt today’s regularly scheduled programming to bring you … the deranged, acid-tripping kitties of Quizno’s. It seriously doesn’t get any more freakishly bizarre than this, folks…
2 Girls 1 Cup may be the most notorious internet porn video of this generation, portraying two girls doing hideously disgusting things with one cup and some unsavory bodily functions. Seriously NSFW (Wikipedia link). Google it in private if you must. So when a Glasgow woman found out that her…
You never know what you might find cruising down East Colfax, but along with hookers, drug dealers and their desperate, drugged out disciples, you can usually count on new restaurant signage. Pisco Sour, a new Peruvian restaurant, bar and club at 8501 East Colfax Avenue, opened in June to good…
Someone in the kitchen is obviously obsessed with squiggles of Mexican crema, but that same person is also dead set on delivering far better than average combo plates, like the one in the above snap, which includes, among other usual suspects, a chicken enchilada and a chimichanga zigzagged with a…
First, Sweet Action Ice Cream expanded its availability locally, and now the progressive ice creamery at 52 Broadway is gaining recognition outside of Colorado for its homemade, organic and seasonally-influenced scoops, including flavors like Colorado peach. The travel website, SmarterTravel.com gave the shop some national exposure over the weekend, in…
What’s with all the sandwiches? 2010 has seen some terrible twists on the lunchtime classic, and with new groundbreaking market bombs lowering the common denominator each week, there’s no end in sight. Craftcans.com recently poked a little fun at the Candwich, pairing the canned sandwiches with canned beers – we…
Before it even officially unveiled them, McDonald’s has already withdrawn this week’s planned giveaway of free smoothie samples. Perhaps you’ll consider a frappé instead?…
In less than an hour, Jean-Philippe Failyau, who owns Park Burger in Platt Park and a small interest in Osteria Marco, will lift the garage doors and fling open the front door of Park and Co, his new burger joint that took over the Bump and Grind plot at 439…
While the rest of us sweltered in the heat this weekend, Kelly Whitaker and his crew at Pizzeria Basta in Boulder finished planting an urban garden, using a tiny plot of land behind the restaurant’s commercial space for three beds full of tomatoes, peppers, kale, basil, rosemary, and other herbs…
More than 400 people ate and drank themselves into oblivion last night at Mile High Station, the venue for Denver’s annual Share Our Strength benefit, which raises funds to wipe out childhood hunger both locally and across the country. “It was a really great night all the way around,” says…
Like all good rockers, Eric Allen enjoys a big fat burrito now and then. We caught up with the Denver-based Apples in Stereo bassist recently and asked him where he last ate out in the city. It’s not where you might think. While it’s a Greek restaurant with “Pete” in…
I love a good burger, and the one up top, made with bison, topped with bacon and guacamole and smeared with a jalapeno cream cheese, was awesome. So were the fries. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week’s Where…
To borrow a line from Snoopy, it was a dark and stormy night and without any dinner, it was gonna be a hungry night, too. Ted and I were camping last weekend in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just south of Canon City, in the middle of bear country, and…
Cafe Society served up five Guess Where I’m Eating/Drinking contests last week, ranging from the incredible feijoada at Emporio do Brasil to this still unidentified frisee/egg/asparagus dish to a lamb/crab combo at 1515 . For identifying (and dissing) that dish, Adam wins a DINR deck…
Maybe it’s the ridiculous, intolerable heat that made this week so weird and wacky, and the Cafe Society trolls — specifically “Recession” and “Poutiner” and all your other bogus aliases (we’ve got your IP address, schmuck) — so moronic and volatile. Whatever the cause, the last five days of foodosphere…
Last night, during a dinner celebrating Julia Child at the Empire Lounge and Restaurant in Louisville, at which chef-owner Jim Cohen turned out a lovely four-course meal honoring the legendary empress of French cooking, the conversation turned to pizza. Turns out that while Cohen is a habitue of French cuisine,…

No, that feijoada in the above snap is not from Cafe Brazil — not even close. If you’ve eaten at the joint from which it hails, you’ll get this immediately. If not, then it behooves you to do your research, because it’s arguably the best feijoada in the city. Can…
What’s the best way to garner a bunch of attention for a terrible idea? Do what Mark Kirkland did and get a fraudulent money manager to invest millions of dollars. When that money manager gets sued by the SEC, bingo, national headlines…
Beginning this week, Carmelo Anthony’s personal chef Daniel Young, Whole Foods Rocky Mountain Bakehouse head baker Safa Hamze and other local chefs and professionals are strutting their kitchen skills as part of a new Denver Public Schools program that will incorporate produce from school gardens and reduce the amount of…
