5280 magazine’s much anticipated issue naming “The 25 Best Restaurants in Denver” (which includes Boulder) is out on newsstands now, and I am happy to say that I have been to the majority of the top picks.
Amanda Faison, the surprisingly svelte food editor for the magazine, did the majority of the leg work (or stomach work) to compile the impressive list. Here’s what she said about her mouthful mission: “One thing is for sure: There’s never been a better time to be a foodie in the Mile High City.” Here, here!
