Denver’s Version of Southern Hospitality
For most, Friday, April 5th marked opening day for the Colorado Rockies. For the staff at the newly opened restaurant Southern Hospitality, this date marked their busiest night yet. With a prime location, 17th Street between Market Street and Blake Street, they are on the well-beaten path for all pre and post home baseball game...
Live Abroad at Home: Trendy Tacos
When it comes to Mexican food everyone in Colorado has their own opinion. There’s the green chili guy: “It’s all about the green chili, if a place doesn’t have good green chili then it’s not worth going to” And the Tex Mex girl: “I only like chain restaurants where I can get a cheese enchilada...
Live Abroad at Home: Thai Magic
Thai food is magical when done right. The lingering fragrance of sweet coconut milk, the bright emerald of mint leaves and cilantro and the spicy notes of chili and curry completely enchant me. But good, authentic Thai food is often hard to find. Usually a restaurant will be more “Asian fusion,” serving the typical fried foods...
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...
ViewHouse: Denver’s New Hot Spot
Mori Sushi Bar is long gone. In the same place stands the newly opened ViewHouse Eatery, Bar & Rooftop located on the high traffic corner of 20th and Market. Almost unrecognizable, the completely remodeled space is now home to two state of the art bars, plenty of loft like eating space, a DJ station sitting high above...
Live Abroad at Home: Caribbean Cuisine
It is kind of hard to imagine the Caribbean having anything to do with Colorado. We are the landlocked, square state. We are as far from the ocean or any significant body of water as one could be and the closest thing we have to beach are the pebbly sands of muddy reservoirs. So I...
True Food: True Guilt Free Dining Experience
Let’s face it; the restaurant world we live in today is a bit tarnished. Unfortunately, more times than not, I leave a restaurant feeling like the service and the meal were less than mediocre. That being said, my last restaurant experience was like a breath of fresh air. As I entered the True Food Kitchen,...
Live Abroad at Home: Affordable French
Typically the words French and affordable do not go hand in hand. Rather in most cities a French restaurant will be the most expensive and often the most pretentious (“sorry you can’t wear yoga pants in here”). But in Denver we have the exception to that rule, a place where you can get your finely...
Old Major: Pork Perfection
Sometimes a restaurant has something special. Old Major has that something. Old Major is named after the philosopher-of-change boar who led the revolution in George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The restaurant just opened in Denver’s popular LoHi neighborhood. Old Major defines cool everywhere you look, from the re-purposed tractor air filter light fixtures to the Chuck Taylor’s that...
Couture Décor: Epernay Lounge Delivers in the Kitchen and the Décor
Psychedelic wallpapers, bamboo stalk partitions and an iron red 40-foot granite bar set the stylish, contemporary mood of Denver’s most buzzed about restaurant opening – Epernay Lounge. The ambiance of Epernay, located at 1080 14th St., is a union of oceanic themes, Japanese architecture and coastal club culture. “I’ve got the club thing figured out,”...
What’s Fresh: Chef Duy Pham
I got to sit down with Duy Pham, executive chef at the brand new Epernay Lounge, and talk to him about what he learned in Pueblo, how Epernay’s menu came together, and why sous-vide is the next big thing. For info on the restaurant, opening date, and more check out the Peculinarian. 303: What did...

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...
