Daughter of two professional chefs provides a kid's perspective on food, restaurants, and eating!
Treasure found. Not the kind buried in hills — the kind wrapped tight in foil and handed through a food truck window. El Dorado sat unassuming, engine quiet, grill hot. No spectacle. Just confidence. The kind that doesn’t shout because it doesn’t need to. I […]
Heat is a language. Once you learn to read it … and hear it, you learn to cook more deeply. When we step into a kitchen—whether indoors or among the herbs and tomatoes of the garden—heat is our quiet collaborator. It transforms firm roots into […]
The road to Eleven Mile Canyon along Highway 24 is on of those quiet Colorado passages where the journey matters as much as the destination. We are chasing for a spot on the Dream Stream – its bends, its promise – bu found an unexpected pause in Guffey.
The Guffey Bakery is the kind of place that doesn’t announce itself loudly: it simply welcomes you in. Conversations comes easily here – unhurried, genuine, the kind that reminds you why small stops matter along long roads. the pastries were perfect: fresh, comforting made with care. the coffee, seemingly endless, encouraging lingering rather that rushing back to the highway.
This hospitality at its best – not staged. Just good people, good food and a shared moment before everyone continues on the way. A gem right where you need it most.
Started the winter break week at the City park Grill – a stop that never disappoints. the view alone is worth the visit, with city park stretching out and the Denver skyline framed beyond. it is the place that makes one slow down during the […]
During the holiday bustle, we mad a stop at Famous Dave’s, leaning into the comfort of sweet southern – style barbeque. The restaurant air is busy and lively, but the flavors delivered exactly what the moment called for – familiar, satisfying and indulgent.
As the culinary journey continues, there is comfort in returning to the familiar. In Denver, that place is Thirsty Lion near Union Station. During the holidays, the area glows with festive lights, creating an atmosphere that feels both celebratory and welcoming.
A recent venture took me to Colorado Springs, and just aside the airport sits a charming landmark. The Airplane Restaurant. It is a local eatery perfectly suited to its surroundings, where aviation history meets dine- style comfort. Antique photos line the wall, festive holiday decorations […]
Zaidy’s. One of those places where the clatter of plates and smell of coffee makes you feel at home – at the diner. the corned beef sand is as it should be: Tender, stacked high enough to make the conversation stop.
On the quest for the origin and perfect Ruben, Zaidy’s is another contender. Comfort in finding that kind of sandwich reminds why delis endure. Of course no visit is complete with out a Black-and-white cookie to take with – half nostalgia, half necessity, entirely satisfying.
Wheels Roll, Knives Whisper, Grill Sizzles -art meets the street, Wagyu finds the flame.
