What don't you like about it? Good food is one of Denver's major shortcomings as it tries to play the part of a "real" city. Anything new, interesting, affordable, and tasty is a benefit, not a detriment.

Got to say, if you still believe Denver is short on very good food you must be living way the hell up in the mountains and not know Denver very well anymore. It certainly doesn't have as many as SF, Chicago, LA or NYC, but it has a fair supply given the size of the city relative to those places. I'll give you that super end fine dining is pretty limited here. We also lack the non-Western cuisine of those places. But you'd be hard pressed to visit all the very good $30-50 a head places in a year dining out once or twice a week.

(And yes, I've lived places with good food like Chicago, London, and Minneapolis.)

It's certainly better than it's been. It does not today compete on the world's culinary stage - but if the region's success continues, it will one day.

Agree, it's come ALONG way in 10 years. I can't keep up with all the cool, new restaurants popping here downtown, in LoHI, RiNo, Capitol Hill and South Pearl. Lots of places to explore.

Is this a fucking restaurant thread?

Here is the fucking restaurant thread >>>>> http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...g-I-70-285-etc

"There is a traffic incident on cottonwood pass. Cottonwood pass is closed to all traffic temporarily."

Hmm, wonder why?

[Name Redacted]

Cottonwood pass isn't on I70.

Hope it wasn't a food truck.

Facepalm.

well lets see I70 is closed in glenwood canyon so maybe some trucker or a nice rv from texas decided to take the scenic route and didn't get around one of those corners?

[capulin overdrive]

LOL, think CO has 3 deferent Cottonwood passes.


So yeah, what I consider Cottonwood isn't anywhere near I-70.

[MiddleOfNight]

This one .. the gypsum/c'dale Cottonwood ...

"Meanwhile, two semis stalled on Cottonwood Pass road, which CDOT had advised against using as a detour."

stalled, or auger'd?!

'Tractor Trailers Prohibited Beyond This Point' I'm pretty sure is what that sign says.

a 53'r would sure wedge in there nice. a challenging recovery. be fun to watch.
idiots.

[hawkgt]

got to be one jacked knifed son o bitch!!!!

[MakersTeleMark]

Can you imagine the effort to get a semi turned around on CWP before dragging it out? Like this gem from this winter:

[hawkgt]

^^^^ I could if I was the tow truck operator!!! CHA CHING!!!

[The SnowShow]

Cops were turning trucks around trying to go over Indy Pass. Fucking morons!!

[MiddleOfNight]

I-70 closed through Glenwood Canyon, 8/10 & 8/11. 9a - 330p.

Three weeks and no bitching? This place is slipping.

[stfu&gbtw]

Ever since Your Way got the idea to do their work at night, it hasn't been that big a deal. New asphalt is laying down nice. Now, if we could get them to pave over some of the drivers, we'd be all set.

[Lightning1911]

I'm excited for this weekend. Cause I'm staying home, and people are visiting me.

I've been up and back on weekends, no problem. Even 5pm last weekend. This weekend should be fun.

[montanaskier]

Drove home today but have to go back to Denver tomorrow for a mtg. I dread the drive back up here soooo bad!

77 million tourists visited CO in 2015. Can't a big chunk of that tax revenue be directed to infrastructure upgrades? All those people using our roads and beating them to shit...

I would love if Boulder canyon got repaved. It's borderline unrideable on a motorcycle right now.

[The SnowShow]

Whatever crew paved the right lane of EB Georgetown hill a year ago should be made to redo it. It is SO bad.
