Happy Hour Watch: Pinche Tacos

Food trucks are everywhere, but it’s only every so often that a food truck also successfully branches out into becoming a restaurant.

Happy Hour Watch: Crimson Canary

Looking for a sexy new hideout? You’d be forgiven for dismissing Crimson Canary as perhaps being too cartoonish for the job, from their tagline (“Boss Italian American Cups & Plates”) to the intro on their website (“We aint’ your run of the mill marinara and meatball type joint, see…”). But slide into one of this...

Fork It: New Greenwood Village Modmarket Offering Breakfast

Ask Modmarket founders Rob McColgan and Anthony Pigliacampo whether they could eat at their restaurants every single day, and the answer is an unqualified yes—not only because they both do, in fact, have at least one or two meals there each day, but also because they’ve designed the menus with their own tastes and quality...

Fork It: Winter Brunch @ Parallel 17

This can’t be breakfast. That was the thought I had at Parallel 17 last week, right after a plate of hot, sugar-and-cinnamon-dusted fried dough balls arrived to our table at brunch…I was about to make dessert my first meal of the day. But Parallel 17′s donut holes, while crunchy and fried for sure, had just...

Happy Hour Watch: Jonesy’s EatBar

Most of the time, happy hour is a simple affair: assorted alcoholic drinks priced a few bucks cheaper. And so it is at Jonesy’s EatBar, where the daily specials apply only to select wines ($5 a glass), select cocktails ($3), and select Colorado craft beers ($3). It’s a good menu, especially when you can get...
