With all my praise of the Hickory House I must admit, I've never tried Big Jim's, even tho I pass it several times a week, and every time I do, it smells AMAZING! I may just have to try it soon, maybe tomorrow for lunch.Quote:

I'll have to find an excuse to try it myself.
My curiosity is also peaked for trying out Texas de Brazil. Any place that could possibly give me "meat sweats" wins points in my book.
Will do Sir! I don't doubt that he throws down some tasty BBQ, his little motto thing is "Put the South in yo mouth" lol.Quote:

That's a shame.
Rudy's BBQ here in the Springs that so many folks have raved over (I agree they are good) has a choice for their brisket of "moist" or regular. I've always ordered the moist as I can not abide by dry meat.
Of course, all too often I find that pulled pork is usually dry at most BBQ establishments. Part of that is due to the nature of pork, the rest is the due to the cooking and storing conditions.
I love pork, and more often than not, it is too dry. :(
There is a new Korean BBQ place called Q BBQ on 104th and I25.
Good but expensive.
has anybody tried "Yazoo BBQ" downtown? would be interesting to hear how it compares to the Hickory House....
Park Burger in Wash Park was pretty darn good,
Quincy's steakhouse in Buena Vista/Leadville etc. I think is exceptional- I can't believe a filet meal (6oz) for $8. I have paid over $60 for filet that was not as good as theirs. I also appreciate their menu- your "choice" is only size- and what drink you would want. M-Th is filet, Friday thru Sun changes to prime rib and/or sirloin roast or something like that.
for something to mix it up, Cafe Brazil in Denver Highlands is top five in Denver for me. Family run/owned place- great quality ingredients and reasonable for what you are getting.
Also another vote for Root Down.
La Loma, Lola or Patzcuaro's for "southern food" for me.
So I'm resurrecting this thread, as Denver Restaurant Week is starting next week! Anyone gonna go check any new places out?
Oh nice! I almost forgot.
Last year was great.
Check out Argyll's if you haven't.

This one has piqued my interest: http://www.denver.org/denverrestaura...x?id=768&c=yes
The enchiladas sound pretty rad
On 92nd and Washington (actually Eppinger and Washington) in Thornton, a small family BBQ place opened up called Lil John's BBQ. They have AMAZING bbq food. Apparently Backdraft BBQ came in secretly and tasted their stuff, called a half hour or so later and complemented them on their food. Give em a try if you're up north. Great prices.
Moved thread to next to recipe thread in the survival forum and stuck.

Went to Melting Pot for a pre-valentine's day dinner, last thursday. A little pricey but great food, lots of fun, and great ambiance. It was my first time there and would definitely recommend it
Oh I forgot all about those. I need to run up there and get some!!!Quote:

In the even that I get burnt out on the #1 (not likely), they cook a REALLY good steak.Quote:

4th st chophouse in Loveleand. Aged New york strip with fried red onions and butter. Best steak I've found, not the cheapest, but not really pricey for a steakhouse. BBQ must be personal taste, I don't like the rib house much, but hickory house is great. Too far away though.
I agree, BBQ must be personal taste. I've never been a big rib fan, until Hickory House came into my life [Tooth], some on here don't like it, however most that have tried it do. I swear i'm going to see a fight there one of these nights, the way some folks race up to the door, IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS FOLKS! Entertaining tho.Quote:

Don't know if anyone posted about The Athenian yet. It's Greek on Iliff and Chambers (SE Corner). Little pricey, Soon-to-be wife and I went there, with appetizer and dessert was $60. Really awesome Gyro meet and amazing fried custard. We actually got a really big sampler platter and two desserts so it will probable be a little cheaper normally. Lived down the road from it for 3 years and now I can't wait to get it again.
America bar & grill used to be our back office. The Athenian is right behind the parking lot. It has been there for at least 8 years - and nope I have never tried them. Now that you said it, maybe this weekend!
I think American Bar and Grill has some pretty good wings and burgers too.
If you like Vietnamese try, New Saigon! Amazingly good and cheap!

Wings...
O'Furry's (on Filmore) in Colorado Spring has some of the best wings in C.S. - IMHO (also - used to have them on sale on Saturdays?)
Carlos Miguels - good Yucatan stye Mexican food - (If you like spicy...try the Camarones el Yucatecos - shrimp with habenero cream sauce)
I'll throw my hat in on this one
Food + Beer - The Bull and Bush has been nothing but good so far.
Wings - The Irish hound, they are crazy good, not very spicy though
Hippie food - Mod Market has been good stuff, and the quality is top notch.
Pho - I have like Pho Duy, there are two, but I've only been to the one on Federal.
Steak - the Neighborhood Resturant in Arvada has been really good, and its an out of the way locals only type of place. They have a peppercorn steak thats one of my wifes favorite things.
Bakery - Rhinelander Bakery FTW.
I actually tried Famous Dave's for the second time, in the Springs this weekend. It was actually better than I remember. Still not quite Hickory House, but good enough i'll likely go back in the near future.
Went here on Friday for the first time
http://www.abruscis.com/
Food was a lot better than I thought it would be. I expected that kinda crappy, kinda awesome mom and pop place food, and it was a lot better than that. Nice that they have a lot of options for gluten free and non meat dishes
I know this thread is old as hell but try pho duy next to the kfc on federal. the place is usually packed with locals around lunch and dinner time but that is always a good sign. if anyone likes Japanese food try kiki's on colorado blvd. many items under or right around ten dollars. this isn't the typical tempura, sushi and teriyaki place. It has authentic Japanese home style dishes at a reasonable price and the head cook is actually Japanese! something rare in Colorado.Quote:
