Roasted winter squash and chickpeas spiced with garam masala, topped with red onion, yogurt, and cilantro. Budget friendly and cozy.

Biscuits and sausage rosemary gravy, two eggs sunnyside up, and some hash browns from Snooze on Broadway.

Waygu steak lettuce wraps from A5 were delicious. Definitely a date night spot!

You can never go wrong with a trip to Leven Deli.

October vibes.

The High Lonesome. Atmospheric dive in the Highlands. Play some pool or have an unexpected cocktail for a low key spot: bandoeng 22 and amaretto.

Tis the season

Parisian Champagne Bar Opening in Former Noble Riot Space “I think the need right now is less explaining and education, and more evoking joy and bringing people together.”

Sadly, I never made it to Noble Riot, but I'm intrigued by this concept. www.westword.com/food-drink/p...

Things you could be doing - going to Satchel's on 6th, sitting outside as the light wanes and a chill settles in the air, eating warm fig salad, fried stuffed summer squash blossoms, and rabbit confit. (I mean, you could eat inside, but what's the fun in that?)

Those pita look fabulous! How do you get them so fluffy?

Italy is on my bucket list!

Made Diana Henry's "i can never resist pumpkins" menu today. Here's the Tuscan grape bread & Italian cheeses. It was delightful.

This salsiccia pizza, Caesar salad, and fig sour from Osteria Marco were exactly what we needed after a Friday night volunteer shift at the Great American Beer Festival.

I mostly share food, but how can I not share these beautiful Fall flowers?

The biggest lie I tell myself - you dont need to label those leftovers, you'll remember when you cooked them.

Things to do: take a walk down the newly renovated 16th St, enjoy a Black Widow cocktail and a bite to eat at Bezel, go see CO Ballet's production of Dracula, finally feel like Fall.

It was! It's made with a root beer amaro so it sort of tasted like a root beer float.

Had a great evening at Molotv Kitschen. Sadly the lighting was too dim for good food photos, but this cocktail came with its own flame.

Technically not located in Denver, but the bizarre donut hole that is Glendale. Bull & Bush is a lived-in British-styled pub that leans on classic comforts. I think it would be especially cozy with some light snow.

Denver has the state’s first two-star Michelin restaurant The Michelin Guide awarded stars to three new restaurants: Kizaki, Margot and Mezcaleria Alma.

Hello, new Michelin stars!

Go to Jax. Get a shrimp and lobster roll. Drink a fabulous martini there. Cling to whatever is left of summer.

Fox and The Hen is rightfully packed during brunch, but the bar has open seating. We got lucky and didn't have to wait at all.

Ham and Swiss Benedict + cappuccino. Delicious!

Come for the shrimp boil, stay for the flash tattoos.

Can't go wrong with tomato pesto and mozzarella on rosemary focaccia from Leven Deli.

That looks intetesting!

A martini without vermouth isn't a martini. This is a hill I will die on.

Yesterday was National Oyster Day? Here’s a throwback to the story of the first time I ate oysters, and how food, place, and self are connected.
