Carb-loading and calling it “research” aligns with both my personal and my professional journalistic goals.
To indulge in my cheesy fancy, I embarked on a quest to discover the best macaroni and cheese in Denver. I made a pilgrimage to four of Denver’s favorite restaurants to collect my data and test their claims of greatness: Black Pearl, Steuben’s, nine75, and Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge.

The Great American Beer Festival
really is one of Colorado’s marquee events. Thousands of beer fans
jam the Colorado Conventions Center to sample the best beer this country
has to offer. Earlier I previewed the GABF and I attended the Thursday night session and I (again) found
myself amazed by this truly singular event.

If you have a ticket to the
Great American Beer Festival , it’s good to be you.
For the uninitiated, the Great
American Beer Festival is a yearly gathering of brewers from around
the country put on by the Boulder-based Brewers Association. You could
say it’s the king of beer festivals. This year, 432 breweries will
have more than 1,900 beers on tap, and thousands will filter through
the Colorado Convention Center sipping one-ounce samples of some of
best beer America has to offer.
But if all that sounds daunting,
don’t worry. As a seasoned veteran of the festival, I have a few tips
for you that will keep your trip tasting great and more fulfilling.

I
awoke at 1:30 a.m. and stepped into the bathroom, determined to keep
my mind clear. A minute later I lowered myself back into bed and
began breathing slowly to ease myself to sleep. Despite my efforts,
thoughts of work penetrated my mind. I lay still, breathing more
deeply and concentrating on the word sleeeeep. Finally, after
twisting till my sheets were a wad, I turned on the light. An hour
had passed. I picked up a book.
I
was getting plenty of exercise, eating right and drinking enough
water each day. No caffeine after morning, and no eating or alcohol
after 7 p.m. I was relaxing in the evening, and life seemed well
balanced. Yet almost every night I fought my job for possession of my
mind. Had that been the first time—or even the first time that
week—I may have thought different about it, but now it was
ultimatum time: either I would learn to accept sleep deprivation, or
something would have to change.

We’ve all heard that Denver
is the birthplace of the cheeseburger and we’ve all attempted to treat
our out-of-town guests to Rocky Mountain Oysters, but for being a city
with such a history so enmeshed with beef and cattle, it may be slightly
surprising that Denver doesn’t have a trademark barbecue dish.

long set aside a warm place in their hearts and stomachs for comfort

appetites when they’re craving what their Mamas used to make: Second Home
Kitchen and Bar in Cherry Creek

I decided to expand my dining horizons by inviting myself to the Tuesday Night Dinner festivities at the African Community Center (ACC) in Denver. The weekly dinners are open to anyone in the community, with one pre-requisite: you must bring a dish you love from your culture.
