5280 Dines, the annual celebration of the 25 Best Restaurants list in the upcoming edition of 5280 magazine, has a new approach this year with a progressive strolling dinner with a different menu and featured beast at each of four Frank Bonanno restaurants on Seventh and Grant: pig, duck, tuna and lamb paired with the food will be cocktails and wine.
The strolling soiree takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday with stops at Bones, Luca d’ Italia, Vesper Lounge and Mizuna, which will close to the general public to host an event with the liquor licenses extended allowing guests to sip beverages as they dine around the block. In addition, guest chefs will be on site to help prepare accompaniments.
Guests also will hear music from the Colorado Symphony and enjoy the company of some of Denver’s best chefs.
Amanda Faison, 5280″ food editor who’s poured her taste buds into picking the metro-area’s best eateries, said the event’s new format was Bonanno’s idea.
“We weren’t looking for a new format but at last year’s party, Frank Bonanno mentioned it might be fun to, someday, throw a party by combining the four Bonanno restaurants on Seventh Avenue and Grant Street,” Faison said. “The real hook for us was the idea of a progressive/strolling dinner party at multiple restaurants. There’s really no other restaurateur/chef who could offer such a venue. We simply hope that the party will be a celebration of our very exciting ever-changing local dining.”
There are a few tickets left for this outdoor evening soiree are $125 and will support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Colorado-Wyoming Chapter. Tickets and more info: www.5280.com/5280dines.
