Just as the World Cup reaches its final days, competitors in another major international sporting event, the Tour de France, begin tearing over mountain passes and through city streets on their bikes. And Cured, Boulder’s premier cheese, charcuterie and wine shop, is helping Tour de France spectators in Colorado celebrate the epic race with food
Cassie has a lovely group of friends, and it was a lot of fun organizing a progressive dinner to some of Boulder’s best restaurants and bars for this group of cocktail-loving foodies. We started at OAK at Fourteenth for a house-bottled soda as our first cocktail. When the bride-to-be tells me she wants a dinner
Les Dames d’Escoffier of Colorado are a lovely group of ladies, or dames, if we dare declare, who are a women’s philanthropic organization that raises money for women entering the culinary field.

Ají is consistently a delicious stop on dining tours in Boulder, but as someone who is frequently guiding tours, I don’t always experience restaurants during peak dinner hours for a sit-down meal.

As summer draws to a close, I thought I’d look back at some of the best tastes and food experiences of the past few months in Boulder and Denver.
A farmhouse kitchen and pub… I dig the sound of that and I loved the food I tried during the industry soft opening on July 1.
