I wouldn’t want to waste anyone’s time when they have important matters to attend to on the snow-covered Colorado slopes this ski season. But the Denver dining scene has gotten incredibly exciting. In fact, it’s become a dining destination whether or not it’s simply a stop en route to the mountains.
Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint why a city’s food scene improves. It could be proximity to a more expensive city that cooks can’t afford to live in, or a break-out chef that brings attention to his or her neighbors. In Denver, it’s the story of a transportation hub.
