Chicken Tuesdays back at Lou’s

I cornered Denver restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno at one of his booths during Denver Food and Wine recently, and begged, pleaded and cajoled him into bringing back chicken Tuesdays at Lou’s Food Bar, 1851 W. 38th Ave.

And although I can’t take total credit for the return of one of my favorite restaurant deals – a half fried chicken (naked, medium or Nashville hot) with two sides and a draft for $20 per person – I certainly added to the popular demand to bring back that Tuesday tradition.

Lou’s has also extended hours to welcome late-night diners and drinkers, and has expanded the tap selection to 17 drafts. Reservations: www.lousfoodbar.com; walk-ins welcome. Thanks, Frank!
