Getting my drunk on (and appetizer on) at Linger in LoHi

So I recently got an opportunity to get nice and knackered with some coworkers at a place I’d never been to before, a bar called Linger in LoHi here in Denver. First off, “LoHi” is such a weird term for me. I know it means “Lower Highlands”, but from a taxonomy/linguistic standpoint, couldn’t you just [...]

Whereupon I crack out on Mexican food at Blue Bonnet

So I’m still not sure who decided Blue Bonnet was a good name for a Mexican restaurant. I mean, you’d think they’d at least call it Capo Azul or something? Anyhow, I ended up going to Blue Bonnet over on Broadway in South Denver with a few friends not too long ago, and it was [...]

Whereupon we stuff our faces late at night at Pete’s Kitchen

True story: if you are cheap and greasy, there is a good chance I will love you forever. Or at least until I get a chance to digest you. So yeah, when I’m feeling some cheap and greasy, heading to a diner is a pretty standard choice. Or, you know, when hungover. I’m not really [...]

Holy Cow, the Calzones from Attivo are Freaking Awesome

Yeah, so I haven’t posted in a week as my brain has been preoccupied with the sorts of things that apparently don’t inspire me to write about whatever the hell I’ve been sticking in my mouth lately (food or otherwise). So it goes. I’ll blame Seasonal Affective Disorder or the 1% or the Russians or [...]

The Weirdest Chai Ever from Egg Shell, Plus Mediocre Crepes!

So, for starters, I’m gonna apologize for the fact that I haven’t actually written about anything I’ve *cooked* in many moons. I’ve got a backlog of photos on my phone, but the glut of what I’ve got to work with on my actual computer is from restaurants, and I am apparently too much of a [...]

Piles of Mexican from El Noa Noa on Santa Fe

So, as far as I’m concerned, Mexican food is crack. I don’t care if it’s traditional, New Mexican, or straight up Americanized Mexican, it’s all good. (Not that I can necessarily tell the difference between them anyhow, but we’ll just ignore that little fact). Anyhow, one thing I like about living in Colorado is you [...]

Happy Hour Adventures at Charlie Brown’s Bar and Grill

So, if I hadn’t mentioned it before, I recently moved to the Capitol Hill district of downtown Denver. The nice thing about living in the city again is the fact that I can walk to approximately 1 gazillion restaurants. This makes my stomach happy, but not necessarily my wallet. Meaning that I keep my eye [...]

Cracovia Polish Restaurant in Westminster, CO: Adventures in Deliciousness

So out of all of my random restaurant finds in the Denver area, my favorite might possibly be Cracovia, located in Westminster, CO. Cracovia is this awesome Polish restaurant tucked away in a half dead strip mall, and I would love to slowly work my way through everything on the menu. At some point in [...]

Cheap “Too Lazy To Cook” Food: Big Daddy’s Pizza And Ralibertos

Someday soon, I suspect that I will have sampled every single restaurant on the right side of Wadsworth between 6th Street and I-70. Every single restaurant that does take-out, that is. I, like many others, often get out of work and want nothing more than to shove something hot and delicious in my mouth as [...]

Café Castro: Mexican in Santa Fe, NM

So at some point in the vaguely recent past, we found ourselves on a short vacation in Santa Fe, NM. We ate out a bunch while there – I’d be tempted to say “too much” were it not for the excessive amounts of hiking we did there as well. Those are always the best vacations, [...]
