100 (and Five) Things to Taste

Denver Magazine just released its now-annual list of "100 Things to Taste" - everything the magazine's editors think your should try this year around the city. 

It's a solid list; some of my favorite items included are the Cast Iron Skillet Cookie from Second Home, the Fig and Crispy Prosciutto Pizza from Osteria Marco and the Won Ton Tacos from Zengo. But, in this blogger's humble opinion, there are a few things missing. So, in no particular order, bite into five amendments from me: 

1. Roasted Chicken Salad from LoHi Steakbar

2. Crunchy Roll from Sushi Hai

3. Burrata from Osteria Marco (honorable mention for the Whole Grilled Artichoke)

*Bonus: Because I am obsessed and stalk his website from time to time, I just happen to know that you can find Chef Frank Bonanno's recipe to make your own, here.

5. Bacon Cashew Carmel Corn from Colt & Gray

6. Duck Fat Fries from TAG (honorable mention for the Taco Sushi)

What do you think is missing from the list?

Bon Appétit

Welcome to Blog Appétit, your soon-to-be source for everything dining in Denver and the Front Range (and since I'm a bit of a traveler, maybe a few other cities along the way). 

Here, I'll "give you the scoop" (note: if you don't like food puns, I suggest you delete me from your blogroll ASAP) on anything in Denver that I think is overrated, worth a try, and so mouthwatering, you'll still be dreaming about it a year from now (hello lobster-truffle gnocchi from Restaurant Kevin Taylor and house-made Osteria Marco burrata). You'll also score some recipes, as I dabble in cooking from time to time; but not to worry, everything will be simple enough, and of course, tested beforehand on my brave guinea pig, er, boyfriend. And since my taste (think movie star) doesn't always align with my budget (think movie store clerk), I'll be sure to keep you posted on great deals around town too.

Most importantly, if you like food, dining, and everything delicious in Denver enough to find Blog Appétit, chances are, you're already somewhat plugged in to what the Denver dining scene has to offer. If you have some tasty news, events, etc., and want to share with your fellow foodies, email me - blogappetitdenver@gmail.com. 

Thanks again for visiting - chow! (Get it? Like "ciao," but a food pun? Ok, I'm done.)
