Restaurant Week 2010

Mark your calendars and check out the denver restaurant week website for more info

Feb 20th -March 5th . 3 course $26.40 at some of the best restaurants denver has to offer

Den Deli

The new den deli at 1501 S Pearl St (by the same people who do izakaya and sushi den) is a casual eatery with freshly prepared foods including sushi, sandwiches, noodles and bento boxes. Can't wait to try it soon, perhaps on my way to those nightly MCAT classes.....

Pho 95

Pho 95, the reigning Pho place according to both westword and 5280 did indeed deliver on this windy january day. The rare steak, vietnames meatball and brisket noodle soup bowl was piping hot and deliciously flavorful and all for just $6.45. Definitely not for the vegetarians.

Plate score: 9

Pancakes

Though this photo is old i figure, these pancakes deserve some attention. We couldnt wait to try these so this photo is mid-meal :). Featured on food network's Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Clinton Street Baking company in New York City serves up a perfect stack of blueberry pancakes. These heavenly pancakes are light and fluffy and studded with blueberries and topped with a lemony blueberry compote.

Advice: get there early; we were there 15 minutes before it opened and the line was at least 30 people long

Char Siu

The food in hong kong is beyond amazing. I had dim sum 4 times in 1 week. Below is a blurry photo of char siu...also known as bbq pork, the same delicious filling in those steamed bbq pork buns. This place makes it right...the perfect balance of lean meat and fat that melts in your mouth.

Yummy!!!!! :)
