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, [...]

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 [...]
