Chasing Grapes: Food For Thought, Chef Kevin Taylor and Metro Pair for a Charitable Evening

Once or twice a season an event comes along that really stands out from the rest. Last Thursday, at the beautiful new Metropolitan State University Hospitality Learning Center, that event of this season took place. MSU hosted an intimate, invitation only, VIP dinner perfectly pairing the Food For Thought charity with legendary local chef, Kevin Taylor, to...

Peculinarian: Epernay Lounge Brings an Upscale Modern Twist to Denver

Opening next month is Denver’s newest dining experience, Epernay. Located on 14th street near the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Epernay is a sexy and inventive addition to Denver. The Foodie world has been buzzing with excitement for the return of top chef, Duy Pham, and the personal menu he created for this new...
Peculinarian: For the Love of Thin Man

Peculinarian: For the Love of Thin Man

I just can’t get enough of Thin Man Tavern. If only Thin Man Tavern were an actual man (as opposed to a quirky neighborhood bar located on 17th and Race Street), I think I would be in love with him. He would be foreign (Spanish, most likely) and I would find him sitting alone, brooding...
Peculinarian: Falafel Fusion Fiesta

Peculinarian: Falafel Fusion Fiesta

I. Love. Falafel. The only problem is finding a Falafel joint that meets up to my strict standards for Middle Eastern cuisine. I mean (and I am going to be bitingly honest here), Denver is not necessarily known for its abundance of homemade chickpea based delicacies. Sure our music, nightlife and fashion scenes are some...

The Corner Office keeps on giving with their new theater dinner special inspired by the play, The Giver, now playing at The Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

Peculinarian: The Art of Palettes

Peculinarian: The Art of Palettes

Vincent Van Gogh once stated, “I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.” I, personally, agree, and am always searching for the right hue to emblazon my sometimes dull nighttime. One Starry Night, I found the vibrancy I needed at Palettes located across the street from the...
Peculinarian: Vesta, Goddess of Restaurants

Peculinarian: Vesta, Goddess of Restaurants

Vesta is the Roman Goddess of hearth and fire, and a fitting name for a restaurant that’s obvious priority is making everyone who walks through its doors feel at home. Vesta Dipping Grill, located on Blake Street in the Lower Downtown district of Denver, is not only a memorable place to take a date due...
Peculinarian: Get Lost in the Woods at Forest Room 5

Peculinarian: Get Lost in the Woods at Forest Room 5

Ah, Fall. A time for wood fueled fires, oversized scarves, apple cider, and, of course, Nordic-inspired cuisine developed by new-wave Scandinavian chefs. OK,  so maybe Nordic cuisine seems like a new addition to the autumn trend scene, but it is slowly making its way to becoming a seasonal staple. New Nordic cuisine is all about...
303 Exclusive Fashion Editorial: Postcards from Hanoi by Katelyn Simkins

303 Exclusive Fashion Editorial: Postcards from Hanoi by Katelyn Simkins

Ok, I’ll admit that I had never eaten at a pho restaurant until I was asked to cover it for 303. Numerous friends of mine had suggested it to me, raving about the exotic and rich mash-up of flavors. However, I stubbornly refused to eat at an establishment that offers food with a name pronounced...

Peculinarian: Get in on the Sweet Action

Looking for some tempting, smooth, unusual Sweet Action? Not sure where to go to cure your craving for that seductive sweetness? Well, take your wallet down to Broadway where you can buy some chill Sweet Action right there on the street. Sweet Action ice cream (Yes, ice cream. What were you thinking?) is located on South...
Peculinarian: Central Perfects the New American Classic

Peculinarian: Central Perfects the New American Classic

Central. The perfect name for a restaurant located right in the core of the flourishing, bustling and compelling Lower Highlands area of Denver. The location of the new Central Bistro and Bar not only puts it at the heart of the LoHi neighborhood, but also gives the advantage of having one of the greatest views...
Peculinarian: Ease the Office Blues with The Corner Office

Peculinarian: Ease the Office Blues with The Corner Office

We have all heard the phrase, “It is 5 o’clock somewhere,” and after a long, monotonous day at the office, this little idiom could not be more fitting. It is true that our daily lives can become, somewhat, tedious and we find ourselves trapped in a rut, longing for something new and exciting to come...
