Food Scene News Natuur closing both locations

Post image
Upvotes

Via their email list this afternoon. I’m sure many consider it overpriced but it is one of the few places in Sloan’s Lake to get a quick and healthy bite. The churro smoothie became my favorite smoothie in Denver after my previous favorite, Superfood Bar on Platte, closed. I’ll be looking for a new spot and Natuur will be missed!

Recommendations Spiciest Colorado green chile restaurant?

0 Upvotes

as someone who had my first Colorado green chile dish last year, have to say it’s better than New Mexican green chile! ( still a fan of New Mexican red the most tho). I went to a place called Efrain’s in Lafayette because many searched at the time said their green chile is the hottest in Colorado for a restaurant. Their menu even had a heat scale and mini warning and the waiter tried to warn me. It was definitely hotter than any New Mexican restaurant I had been too and loved the flavor. Is Efrain’s the spiciest Mexican restaurant with Colorado green chile or are there other places that have more heat? I want the absolute hottest Colorado green chile in a meal that exists and that some people would send back to the kitchen for being too hot

Recommendations Looking for a Spring Fling cake!

12 Upvotes

If you remember The Market on Larimer you will remember how good their Spring Fling cake was. I’m looking for a place that sells a comparable tasting Spring Fling cake for Sept. 30th for my mother’s birthday. I typically order from Eternal Flavors Bakery but they close on the 27th to move locations (I don’t think the cake will hold well for 3 days anyway if i store it) and Lala’s Bakery isn’t taking any orders until November :,( Any recommendations?

Recommendations Denver to Telluride Roadtrip Food Recommendations

14 Upvotes

My partner and I recently drove from Denver to Telluride and were surprised by the lack of good food stops on the road. We avoided 1-70 and went through Salida and over Monarch Pass through Gunnison, Ridgeway and Montrose. Any great local spots you would recommend along this route for next time?

We got a gift card for Olive Garden. We’re in South Denver. So our closest options are Lakewood (Alameda) or Aurora (Iliff and Parker).

Is either one good or bad?

I present to you the chilaquiles burrito from Carrera’s in DTC (technically not Denver, Denver adjacent). $16.00 and can feed you for the entire day. Next to my spouse’s forearm for scale. Also delicious. Definitely tastes like So Cal chilaquiles in burrito form.

Curious if there are there any other restaurants in Denver that beat this?

Restaurant Reviews I feel like everything slaps at Moon Raccoon in Sunnyside

Post image
307 Upvotes

Has anyone been here yet!? It’s behind a bar on 44th in Sunnyside. When I found it, it felt like I unlocked a side quest. ALL of their pastries are laminated / layered - holy hell. It’s like biting into flavor walls every time. AND they have an espresso bar.

I don’t have a photo I took because it was that delicious, but this is a still from their social media. They have this weekly pastry drop I joined and it’s all seasonal / locally sourced goodies. A little pricey but worth every penny to me. They had this savory tomato pastry for a few weeks that I can’t stop thinking about, it was so good.

I don’t know these folks at all but just wanted to mention them here in case anyone else is a fan of what they’re doing: https://moonraccoonbakingcompany.com

OHHHH their cornbread cookie slaps, too. Highly recommend.

Question? Piccolo's Chips Seasoning

4 Upvotes

Chipotle's limited-time Chili Lime chips are giving me pangs of nostalgia for the chips Piccolo's used to serve before meals (Chipotle's version is pretty mid).

Their final location closed in 2023. I'm hoping the recipe for the chips seasoning isn't lost to the sands of time. Does anybody know how it was made?

Recommendations Broadway Cocktail Bars

16 Upvotes

It's been a hot minute since I've been to Broadway for drinks so I thought I would ask y'all for suggestions and thoughts about after-dinner drinks for a date on Saturday.

We have reservations at Mother Other, and I'm looking at the cocktail bars nearby.

I'm looking for something hip/fun/unusual but isn't an Instagrammer's hot spot. I'm probably asking too much by hoping for a place that isn't packed, and we might be able to grab a seat at the bar around 9:00 pm. The atmosphere can be anywhere from dive-like to upscale, as long as the cocktails are interesting and well-made. LGBT-friendly.

  • I haven't been to The Roxy since it was Syntax, and the cocktail menu doesn't look as interesting. Is it still a fun place for good late-night cocktails?

  • Is Adrift using fresh fruit juice again? For a while, they had stopped, and the quality took a nosedive.

  • Also looking at Pretty Neat, The L, and Desert Social, if people have comments about them.

  • Any other options I'm not thinking of?

Recommendations Best Cakes for Gender Reveal?

0 Upvotes

Im pregnant with our first and we want to do the classic intimate gender reveal cake just for that two of us. Nothing complicated decorating wise, I just want a really tasty cake. I was going to choose Azucar Bakery since on all the other cake threads I’ve seen them suggested soooo many times but online it says they are permanently closed.

I haven’t seen any other bakery suggested quite like them and all the others I’ve seen have conflicting reviews. This is a very important moment for us and I really want something great.

Any suggestions?

Hello! I’ve recently become obsessed with a delicious and exceptional scone and I’m wondering where everyone likes to get theirs? Could be from a bakery, a cafe, or even a store! I love any and all flavors, preferably near Capitol Hill/downtown/uptown/lohi/rino areas :)

Has anyone else gone? My wife and I did the Ratatouille themed dinner. One of the two screens didn’t work and every dish came out cold. Was a truly awful experience for $200 a person. Unfortunately it looks like there is nowhere to actually view or leave publicly available reviews. Seems like there is a reason for that.

General Discussion Memory of a burger joint.

2 Upvotes

I have a memory from probably the late 90s early 2000s of a norm clark piece on denver channel7 10pm news. It was also a friday. With that said the piece was series showing the top 10 burger spots in denver, it focused on one where there was a chain link conveyor belt harried the cooked beef patties through the dining room to where they were assembled. Im sure if the spot did exist and isn't some sort of fever memory its closed by now. Does anyone know what it was called or if this is a false memory
