Exploring different cuisines during travel is a adventure. This Friday I am on the search for comfort and consistency. Having a familiar flavor and reliable dish when on the road. Savoring a well -done pizza brings satisfaction. Old Chicago’s Chicago 7 single serving adds consistent […]
Traveling in Omaha, one can find a variety of delights. I still look for the 3 main criteria: what’s on the plate, atmosphere in the restaurant and service. We tried the classic Steakhouse in Old Market arts district. Omaha Prime is an upscale dining experience […]

Inspired by YNW Mellow – I got burgers on my mind. I aint get to eat no food, I aint gettin lucky on the menu…and now at My Brother’s Bar, I am in for one more. Sitting at table 8 and having a double ralphie with all the trimmins.
The American hamburger, an iconic culinary delight, when done right. This month of December I have traveled around Denver for the holy grail (grill) … the perfect burger. I have not found perfect, however i keep looking. when done right it is flame kissed to the temperature of one’s liking, lightly toasted bread (or a trend coming around, lettuce wrapped) with a myriad of toppings. Its not just food; its an embodiment of American Culinary tradition and innovation. However deep seeded in tradition and innovation are broil basics which are fundamental to perfection.

During the holiday week we visited the Cheery Creek Holiday Market in the Fillmore Plaza. the festive holiday craft markets turned out to be an impromptu gathering place of friends – and spotting of a senator shopping. the vendor list is diverse from Uncle Tim’s Cocktails to the family Jones and Bijorn Colorado honey. It is a vibrant atmosphere adorned with handmade creations, captures the spirit of the season. From Unique gifts to delectable treats, the cheery creek holiday market showcased the talents of local artisan. The Mistletoe lounge unfortunately ran out of hot chocolate – so where does one go? Starbucks and meander over to the cricket.
Returning to the cricket – which is very decorated festively for the holiday – is stepping into comfort. While bustling with other dining / shopping patrons, the warm ambiance is settling. Assurances of favorite dishes being done to your liking and great service make the consistent experience a cherished holiday familiarity.
Heading back to consistent neighborhood restaurants provides a sense of familiarity. the local dishes and friendly faces create this reliable dining experience. Consistency at D’ Corazon is such a place. the warm reception of being recognized and being seated at table 6 lends a view […]
