Hideaway is hidden away, but worth the hunt

September 30, 2015

There’s a reason that Hideaway Kitchen + Bar earned its name. It’s seriously hidden away in a strip mall way up on Genesee Mountain.

But tucked into that strip center is an oasis of cuisine and cocktails that is a treasure cherished by locals yet little known to Front Range dwellers.

But the PR princesses at DPP Communications know how to garner attention for their client. They use Uber to transport Denver-based media members to quarterly menu tastings. Brilliant!

Hence, media types gathered at Hideaway (just up the road a piece from The Chart House) to sample the new fall menu from the culinary genius of Chef Nick Shankland, a 25-year-old with an older man’s resume (Colt & Gray, Old Major).

Shankland delighted our palates with a meal consisting of smaller portions of fall menu additions, including wine poached pear with blue cheese and sliced toasted almonds, tuna tartare and Chesapeake Bay fried oyster, braised pork belly, pork loin with mashed sweet potatoes, HK+B slider and a dessert combo of a chocolate banana pancake (from the brunch menu) and pumpkin “cobbler.”

Each course was paired with a hand-crafted cocktail.

If you’re stuck on I-70, pull off and check out the hidden Hideaway. For more information, go to www.hideawaykitchen.com.
