Fork It: Santa Julia Luncheon @ Black Pearl
I knew it would be a formidable meal. There was Mitch Mayers, executive chef of Black Pearl restaurant, and Julia Zuccardi, part of a third generation of winemakers at the Familia Zuccardi Winery in Mendoza, Argentina, plus Ana Rodriguez Armisén, sous-chef of Casa del Visitante, the Zuccardi family’s restaurant—all three ready to treat a roomful...
Happy Hour Watch: Ondo’s Spanish Tapas
What’s under the glass? At Ondo’s Spanish Tapas in Cherry Creek, finding out is part of the fun during the restaurant’s unique and laid-back happy hour. Modeled after the Basque tradition of pintxos—small snacks served at the bar for drinkers—Ondo’s keeps their little bites under glass cake covers on the bar, with plates nearby for...

Fork It: Randolph’s @ The Warwick Hotel
Just another hotel restaurant? Not Randolph’s Restaurant and Bar in the Warwick Denver Hotel, where Chef Jean Claude Cavalera is foraging his own mushrooms, creating his own desserts and pastries, baking his own bread and smoking his own salmon—and bringing it all to the table. Here, what appears typical is instead notable, and for my...
Happy Hour Watch: ChoLon Bistro
I’ll admit, I get a bit leery whenever I’m faced with a restaurant describing itself as Asian fusion.

Mercifully, the food is rarely ever that bad in reality, but still the truth remains:...
