There’s already a food thread here, but I was composing this list to an out-of-town visitor and thought I would keep it here handy for Denver food n00bs:

–NAD’S DENVER RESTAURANT GUIDE, V 1.0 —–
—-Mexican————————————

Best pork chili verde in Denver (make sure to order the hot–since it’s made with a new batch every day the heat varies widely, and you don’t want to get a dud):
Brewery Bar II
150 Kalamath St Denver, CO 80223

There are also 2 Brewery Bars out here in the burbs and they are not nearly as much of a dive as the original (they tend to be not quite as spicy tho):
Brewery Bar III
9228 Park Meadows Dr Lone Tree, CO 80124-6711

Brewery Bar IV
6482 S Parker Rd Aurora, CO 80016-1080

There are also 2 Rio Grande restaurants which are quite good and they have a slightly-less-flavorful-but-just-as-hot green chili, one of them is downtown on Blake St, between 15th and 16th streets …. the other is in Park Meadows quite close to Brewery Bar III.

All of the above feature high-end tequilas and good Margaritas–order the “Agave Martini” from Rio Grande or just specify your tequila type if at BB.

———————————————-

—-Thai:————————————-

Best Thai in town is Taste of Thailand at 502 E Hampden Ave Englewood, CO
80113-2703

Hottest Thai in town is U.S. Thai at 5228 W 25th Ave Edgewater, CO 80214-1242

———————————————-

—-Jamaican:———————————
Right across the street from the downtown Rio Grande, there’s one of my
all-time favorite restaurants called 8 Rivers. Order the Jerk Chicken
Pasta….and a Planter’s Punch (or Mojito - either one is served in a freakin tumbler).
8 Rivers: 1550 Blake St Denver, CO 80202-1322

———————————————-

—-Middle Eastern:—————————
Best in town is right down here on Arapahoe, and is called Sahara.
They do Lebanese/Morroccan (really, it’s pan-Mediterranean)–husband and wife, one of whom is from Lebanon and the other Morocco, hi!
Order the Spicy Chicken….and make sure to get one of the appetizers that features their Babaganouj and the grape leaves.
Sahara: 9636 E Arapahoe Rd Greenwood Village, CO 80112-3703

Everyone in Denver knows The Market (on Larimer), but did you know that The Market is also home to the best barista on the planet, Mr. Scott Barnes:

It doesn’t hurt that The Market also has the best espresso in town.

NOTE: If you don’t see Scott behind the counter, turn around and march right down to the Tattered Cover or Evil Bean, lest you wind up with a cup of milk from some lesser wanna-be who should be working at Charbucks.

Propz to We-Todd for the photo

With Bush out of the picture (I personally am counting the days until the Real Mission Is Accomplished!) it looks like for the first time this century it will finally be safe to vote for a Third Party Presidential Candidate. YES!!!

Why just this very minute, Littleton has authorized a Special Enforcement Team to tackle the (let’s face it — horrific) graffiti problem.

Word is they’re modeling the program after this successful campaign set up by former New york mayor Rudy Giuliani:

Now that ought to do it!

OK bitches what’s your name?

Comments are required this time, muthafuckers!!

Well, that was quick. Nice work everybody!

We must remain vigilant! Now is not the time to become complacent!

The Onion has a list of the 15 Things Kurt Vonnegut Said Better Than Anyone Else Ever Has Or Will up at their avclub.com site.

The Only Real Difference between Bush and Hitler is not one of them, but it is mentioned parenthetically under item number 7:

Vonnegut (who often said “The only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler was elected” [emphasis added]) was righteously skeptical about war, having famously survived the only one worth fighting in his lifetime. And it’s never been more true: Left or right, Christian or Muslim, those convinced they’re doing violence in service of a higher power and against an irretrievably inhuman enemy are the most dangerous creatures of all.

And, like, hell-oooooo peeples, the Real Reason Littleton Sucks is because all suburbs suck. Like, holy hell, Batman, at what point does redundancy equal prison and/or death, when gas hits $4.00/gallon?!? Shaaaa - get a clue already!

Oh man, we are so unpopular. How unpopular are we? Our most popular article as estimated by the number of internet strangers making comments is Littleton, CO Sucks. This page comes up as the 77th result if you search for the words “littleton,” “CO,” and “sucks” at google. We didn’t even crack the top 1000 at yahoo.

That is pretty weak, people, but it is the best we’ve got. I propose that set a goal for ourselves of being the number 1 search result at google when people search for “littleton,” “CO,” and “sucks” by the end of the year. We can do it people. It’s all about the attitude.

So the next time you post something here about whatever it is that got your panties in a bunch, make sure to add a second post about out least favorite suburb, Littleton, CO.

Make sure to use the Littleton, CO Sucks category.
