It’s always Throwback Thursday at seven steak spots

Thrillist.com, the declarative voice on all things food, recently culled together its picks for Denver’s seven old-school steakhouses, never mind that one spot is in Fort Collins.

It’s the steak version of the seven elves if Snow White was EDGE, Elway’s or Morton’s – the big boys in the local beef scene.

And although I’m still get misty-eyed over Emil-Lene’s Sirloin House in Aurora, which closed last spring, these are the hangers on who continue to do what they do without a tip of the hat to trends.

Here’s the list:

1. The Broker Restaurant, 821 17th St. (Remember the shrimp bowl?)

2. Mickey’s Top Sirloin, 6950 N. Broadway

3. The Buckhorn Exchange, 1000 Osage St., where your what you’re eating glares down at you in its taxidermy form.

4. The Summit Steakhouse, 2700 S. Havana St., Aurora. We used to live within walking distance of this place where American Furniture Warehouse honcho Jake Jabs often bellied up and belted out songs at the piano bar.

5. Columbine Steak House & Lounge, 300 Federal Blvd.

6. Charco Broiler, 1716 E. Mulberry St., Fort Collins.

7. Bastien’s Restaurant, 3503 E. Colfax Ave., home of the sugar steak.
