Chillin’ at the Thai Basil

So Asian restaurants in Denver are awesome. This is because pretty much every Chinese place I’ve eaten in thus far also has Vietnamese and Thai food. Which makes it significantly more difficult for me to default to my usual sesame chicken at such places, as it conflicts with my desperate desire to eat red curry [...]

Adventures In Overeating At Red Lobster

I’m not usually huge on chain restaurants, but I totally have a soft spot for Red Lobster. This is because I have a giant soft spot for seafood, the sort of soft spot that encompasses my entire gastro-intestinal system. And, quite conveniently, I’ve recently discovered that a perk of doing a food blog is that [...]

Shogun Sushi in Arvada/Westminster/Denver, CO

First: Mmm, sushi! Second: I’m not sure of the official location of Shogun Sushi. Google Maps places it smack dab in Westminster, but their mailing address says “Arvada.” So, I’ll just be vague and say it’s in the “Denver Metro Area.” Anyhow, we got a check for Christmas that was explicitly meant to be spent [...]

Picci’s Pizza (Idaho Springs Trip Part II)

In the grand historical tradition of my priorities, when writing the two parter about the delicious things found in Idaho Springs (first part found here), I of course put the dessert post first, despite the fact that, against my very nature, I managed to postpone the eating of the majority of said dessert until after [...]

My Recent Obsession With Anthony’s Pizza

So pizza is generally a good thing, but sometimes you have to have a specific sort of pizza. Lately, I’ve wanted big flat floppy pizza. My primary experience with big fat floppy pizza is from Vitos back in Richmond, which was cheap and satisfying – it was tasty for a college student but as it’s [...]

Freaking awesome Indian food from Yak & Yeti

Despite my prolific desires to cook everything and anything I hear about that sounds even remotely appetizing, it does not necessarily mean that others want to eat what I cook. Specifically, I speak of parents. Drew and I were both recently inundated with visits from parentals, and both visiting sets preferred to eat out rather [...]

The Other Side Restaurant in Estes Park, CO

Sometimes, when I start writing one of these, I have a hard time figuring out a good lead-in to the subject at hand. This is particularly hard with restaurants. With other things, I can discuss how a giant salmon leapt out from the freezer at me, longing to be cooked. Or how, after desperately craving [...]

Whereupon We Eat Salad, Fries & Pizza at Udi’s in Old Towne

Udi’s is a food-making entity in the Denver area. I say “Entity” as they seem to do a giant glob of things, including catering, pre-made food in grocery stores, and restaurants. Up until recently, my only experience with them was making pizzas on their gluten-free crust for a co-worker of Drew’s. Didn’t actually try the [...]

Lodo’s Bar & Grill, plus Happy Salami Day!

While it’s not quite that time here yet, for all you people on the East Coast and in the Central time zone, it’s September 7th, meaning….it’s Salami Day! Hope you’ve got exciting salami-related plans for the day. I’ll be enjoying a relaxing evening in with some salami and cheese. The laziest way to celebrate Salami [...]

Namiko’s Sushi in Arvada, CO

Namiko’s is a sushi restaurant which is only a 15 minute walk from where we live. Or a 5 minute drive (closer to 8 minutes during rush hour). Or around 7-8 minutes to bike. In any case, we’ve lived near it for about 9 months now, and for some bizarre reason haven’t gotten around to [...]
