USA Today picks Denver eatery on best 10 list

December 8, 2014

USA Today, which has been giving Denver some taste tests recently, has included The Squeaky Bean at 1500 Wynkoop on the newspaper’s selection of “10 best chef’s counters to watch your meal being made.”

The story suggests that some restaurants give you a show with the meal by sitting diners ringside to watch culinary magic.

“Restaurants are adding chef’s counters, allowing diners to watch their meal prepared like a real-life version of a Food Network show,” the story says. “‘It makes dining memorable, what you can talk about to friends,’says Amber Gibson, a Chicago-based food and travel writer. While some of the menus can be quite pricey, they’re perfect for a special holiday meal or celebration. Gibson shares some favorite counters with Larry Bleiberg for USA Today.”

About The Squeaky Bean, USA Today said, “Diners at the eight-seat kitchen counter get a personal experience with talkative chefs, who are glad to answer questions about the food they’re preparing. ‘You get to see a lot of dishes come out of the kitchen. It’s almost like a visual menu,’ Gibson says. Guests can order a set tasting or off the menu, which features a range of meats, seafood and salads. 303-623-2665; www.squeakybean.net.
