Trying new foods

About as exotic I get is Buffalo.
Meat and taters, that's me.

I'm with you on that. No need for exotic meats for me.

Jerusalem near DU on Evans or is there another one? We called it "Heyroos".

You can order pho with nothing more exotic in it than pork. Otherwise it just fancy ramen.

We went to the Asian supermarket once and bought a shark steak. It tasted like ammonia, so I'm assuming there was something wrong with it.

Like the actual stuff? That would be awesome. Is it expensive there?

The price is stupid.. $300/lbs. I have a family member who are in coffee plantation and luwak export/import, so we took few lbs home - a small bag full of the good stuff to be exact. In fact, US customs were trying to tax us for it. We have been giving them away as gifts etc. Down to few lbs now - folks seems to either love it or simply shrug it off.

Hell no...

Haha I'm the same way! I watched people eat it when I lived over there and would almost puke just watching.

If you can smell anything outside a very light hint of fish, it's no good.

Another vote for Damascus on S. Colorado in Denver.

Jewel of India on Federal for lunch today.

Pete's (any of the several locations) for Greek on Colfax

Watercourse for vegan on 17th and Emerson

Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese are similar enough that I will eat at anyone that is relatively clean.

I haven't found a decent Korean place in Denver yet. Some bulgogi and yaki mandu with a side of kimchi and maybe some chap chae...yum yum!

I don't think of Denver as being a good eating town. New York City is about as good as it gets in the US, IMO. When you can get a good meal in almost any cuisine from around the world at 2 AM, I consider that a great eating city. I don't know what the mid-nighters eat in the Springs, but in Denver the choices are Pete's or Denny's. Outside the city, in the burbs, after 1 AM, Waffle House and Denny's are about it.

I think it is best not to know what you are eating before you taste it. If I can make it past the smell, then the taste will tell. If it is good, then who cares what it was before it was served.

I just got back from 8 days in Hong Kong, and I've traveled to a good bit of the of Asia, so I've eaten stuff that's been great, and stuff I can't believe is a food item. Regarding dim sum, I can eat my weight in ha gao, and I can eat bulgogi and kimchi all night long.

Now you're ruined for trying to get authentic, Cantonese Dim Sum in Colorado. No one restaurant has good everything. We order by the Cantonese name and the servers here are like WTF?
