I spent a few months in Denver the end of last year and yeah the food left a lot to be desired. I was surprised because I kept reading about the food resurgence in Denver but for the most part I found very meh, though I did find what I thought was some very good BBQ, especially being not in Texas, AJ's BBQ (I think posted pics in the non Texas bbq thread) over off Delaware near Evans. Neat area with brutal poodle, Corvus coffe and sushi den. Then Post Oak bbq off Tennyson, PO has a full bar with a great bourbon selection and the food is great, wing Wednesdays, they smoke them then fry'em nom nom. Both of these places have good bark on their brisket, a few Texas transplants I met while there told me about a food truck that was supposed to be outstanding I never could get to and a place in Boulder, idk
Yeah no decent texmex there, you mentioned seafood, I ate at Jaxs and Blue Island, they worked nothing outstanding but I'd go back and there is a Pappadeuaxs in Denver
