I have always tried to keep my affiliation under wraps, but when BlasterBob came back after a FTF deal and brought his wife up from Trinidad to have a pie, I realized that this forum is more than just about guns.
So what does everyone think about the pizza?

I haven't had great pizza, Italian, or seafood or Chinese food in over a year.

Never tried before, but I'll have to the next time I'm in the Springs.Quote:

Gotta be NY style too; can't stand any other. I like giant foldable greasy slices. If the grease doesn't hit your elbow, it's not good pizza
Well, the first 22 years of my life were in New York, and my cousin owned a pizzeria in the Hamptons I used to work at in the summertime. We do things the same here as I did back there. The owners are all New Yorkers. It's the real thing.Quote:

We have a drive thru in Denver, too, a first for us. It's working out real well, hot slices all day.Quote:

Who makes the best chilli dogs out there? :D
mustard's last stand has great dogs
I like Borriello Bros, but the tomato slices put me off a bit (I like tomato on my pizza, just not slices). What I do really like is the BIG pizza. I've had enough of these 10" "Large" pizza's from places. A 16"'er, now THAT is a pizza.Quote:

[ETA: Ah crud, I just responded to a 6 month old post]
Speaking of pizza.. If you're ever in Fort Collins hit up Pandhandler's Pizza on Elizabeth over by campus. It's SO damn good. They have VERY thick and yummy crust with big chunky man-size toppings. They have a lunch special where you can get two slices (this will conquer all but the heartiest of appetites) and a drink for around $6 which is a great price for what you get. We were just talking about this place yesterday and this post about pizza above reminded me about it.
Good to know!Quote:

One of the local pizza shops here is ran by Albanian brothers and it's some of the best I ever had!!!
My vote for Sanford's was lost. There's one in Fort Collins on College. I've only had one item there, the Big Country. It's a burger with ranch, onion rings and pepper jack. It's the bomb. Haha.

If you're in the mood for deli style food, I highly recommend Casella's Deli. The owners, Joe and Tina, have been in business at the same location for the past 35 years. Everything is made fresh daily and their meatball sandwich is delicious!
I'll make sure to stop there on my way through.Quote:

Steak & Shake in CO? My wife will be having a fit to go there.
Bean crock!
(for those unfamiliar with S&S commercials, they always end them with saying "bean crock".)
Opus restaurant in Littleton (moving soon to cherry creek). very classy (and the bill to match). good for special occasions.
Finally ate at that place a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what all the fuss was about. The food was good, I'll give you that, but it isn't worth waiting for an hour for it. I'll take 5 guys or Freddy's over steak & shake any day of the week.Quote:

I thought to my self "hmm, place is CALLED Taco House, they probably have some pretty good tacos". That was my first mistake. Ordered the "beef" tacos (and I use the term loosly). The "beef" (that should really be in double quotes) was the consistency of toothpaste and tasted horrible. It was like if you took some grond beef, put it in a food processor with some smelly garbage and mixed it up. It was a 3 taco plate, I powered through almost 2 of them before I gave up.
Mistake #2: "maybe the chicken tacos are better!!" No. No they aren't. The chicken had absolutely zero flavor at all. As in, boil the chicken in unseasoned water, put nothing on it, chop it up, put it on a taco. Disgusting. The GF ordered a chile relleno. It was good.
It's the most disgusting Mexican food I've ever tasted. The mystery meat off the street vendors in Tijuana tastes better. Yes, I have eaten the mystery meat in TJ.
Next time I want Mexican fast food I'll just go to El Chubby's. I know what I'm getting there.
If you guys like Vietnamese food, try New Siagon on Ferderal and Alameda.
New favorite BBQ place: Nordy's in Loveland. I'd kill for a plate full of BBQ from that place.
Wife and I have a lunch date planned for Mon. We're gonna try the Sherpa House in Golden. Anyone been there?
Ohh hell yes. I'd sell important parts of my body for their brisket & smoked sausage sandwich.Quote:

Big thumbs up for Sherpa House. Went Mon...had the lunch buffet. Wife bought a $20 Groupon for $10. Lunch bill came to $1.52 minus tip.
Outstanding food. Can't wait to go back for dinner and try some yak.
Nordy's is, in my opinion, the best BBQ in the state. Serious Texas BBQ is a fairly close second.
I eat at New Saigon all the time - hands down the best Viet in Denver. All my Viet buddies eat there.Quote:

I'll add Jim -N- Nicks at Northfield across the parking lot from Bass Pro. On weekends they have a smoked prime rib. Awesome. Get there early to get yours. The rest of the menu is pretty good for a chain.
new breakfast/lunch place in Westminster.
120th and Bradburn
Early Bird Restaurant... great food, great ingredients and great people own it (husband and wife, one a chef from the St Julian the other a Chef at the Omni)
Anyone tried the Ol Miners Steakhouse in Gunnison? Great food and very reasonable.I eat there every time I'm in town.

I didn't know of the one in Monument.....I eat at the one in Littleton (Belleview bet. Santa Fe and Federal) and I love it. I'll try Monument today on my way down south......thanks :)Quote:

-- Steak (high-end): The Chophouse downtown. Wow, awesome. Also if you love Filet Mignon, their large size is seriously the size of your foot, NOT kidding. I couldn't finish it, after the great apps, incl. free jalapeno cornbread app w/ whipped honeybutter. Another app I love there is the Seasonal Artisinal Platter. Lots of fancy cheeses, sausage, nuts, olives, etc. Great for a group to try bunch of tasty different things. A little pricey though.
-- Italian: We love Patsy's near I-25 & 38th (downtown but west side of highway). Mom & pop type neighborhood restaurant. But great food, great service, cozy, date material for sure.
-- Indian: Taj Majal III in Lousville. It's a drive, but totally worth. The food is the best Indian in the area for sure, we've tried many. Try the Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer. Ask for extra spicy if you prefer, turns out amazing. Jewel of India near 104th & Federal is also pretty good. Both have very nice interior and decorating.
-- Tapas (Spanish/Mediterranean): In Boulder, The Med on Pearl St. Mall, try the patio when the weather's right. The Ninth Door downtown Denver, try the Sangria.
-- Mongolian BBQ: BD's Mongolian Grill downtown Denver. Big buffet tables of fresh meats, veggies, toppings, sauces. You build your own bowl, then they stirfry it on a huge fry table.
-- Brats, incl. various game: Biker Jim's Bratwursts downtown, also has a cart that travels around. Try the Jalapeno Cheddar Elk Bratwurst, SICK! *drool*
-- Mexican: Mexico City downtown, try the Fried Tacos, never seen them anywhere else. Santiago's breakfast burritos (various locations). Blue Bonnet (patio too), Broadway, just south of downtown. Benny's, near 8th & Grant, awesome chili rellenos (huge) w/ VERY hot green chili.
+1 For Chophouse, I love that place... But, I will raise you one- Kittredge has perhaps the best bang for your buck steakhouse, Black Hat Cattle Co. Their steaks are comparable to Chophouse and Elway's, but the prices aren't nearly as high.Quote:

I'll add- Wings: Wing Wagon, Conifer, CO! Best hot wings you'll ever have (and the hottest)... Try the Suicide line, goes up to 20. For reference, BWW "Blazin'" are about Suicide 16 or so... The owner is awesome too, for a Patriots fan.
Being originally from Wichita, Kansas I can attest to the goodness that is Freddies. There's a couple down here in The Springs now too.Quote:

Freddy's just opened up in Loveland out on highway 34 and I'm anxious to try it. Those that have been there: What are some must-try-items?
