This week I traveled to Denver, CO to attend the Defrag conference with my co-worker & friend Todd Clayton. It was my first visit to Denver and fortunately we had the opportunity to explore the city a bit. With some assistance from Yelp, knowledgeable friends, and sheer luck, we managed to stumble across some excellent restaurants. Here's a quick summary in case other Denver travelers are interested:

Cafe Berlin - it was a good sign that this quaint little German restaurant was hopping at 8pm on a Tuesday night. The hostess was very friendly and improvised a table in the bar area for us to sit at. I enjoyed a 1/2 liter Paulaner Oktoberfest, and Todd & I split the Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes) as an appetizer. My dinner was the Kassler Rippchen (smoked pork chop served with the best horseradish I've ever tasted), and I chose the German fried potatoes & spatzle as my sides. Just a great little place to enjoy dinner, and they didn't even mind that I butchered their language while ordering! The Yelp review link that convinced us to try this place is here.


Jimmy John's - we stumbled into this place for lunch, and I'd never heard of it before the trip. I love good subs and this place was fantastic. Todd & I were astounded by how efficiently the staff pumped out the orders, but part of what made that possible was the simplicity of the options. There's only one type of bread (white, baked fresh on site), one type of cheese (provolone), and no option to toast. I had the Turkey Tom with no tomatoes, and I subbed oil & vinegar for the mayo. I also added avocado to the sandwich. It was a great change from Subway. The thing to remember if you go to Jimmy John's is not to unwrap the sandwich (it's meant to keep the thing together). By unwrapping, we immediately exposed ourselves as tourists. Oh well...

Fogo de Chao - apparently this place is a chain. We were drawn here by the fantastic Yelp reviews. We walked about a mile to get here from the Denver Hyatt Regency, and it's a good thing we did since we were about to gorge on a variety of delicious steak, lamb, & chicken. We started with the salad bar. Besides vegetables & meats, it also had some delicious cheeses. Once we got through the salad, we flipped over our cards (the universal indicator for "bring on the meat!"). We were immediately swarmed by waiters carrying skewers with huge cuts of top sirloin, filet mignon, lamb, bacon-wrapped chicken & pork. Along with that we enjoyed garlic mashed potatoes and some bread which apparently stays fresh for less than 40 seconds since the servers continued to swap it out. I enjoyed a signature dark beer called Xingu and a glass of Mendoza Malbec, both of which paired well with the meats. The service was fantastic. I think it's accurate to say we waddled out of there and were happy to have that mile+ walk ahead of us.


Sushi Sasa - I'll admit, I'm not very adventurous when it comes to sushi. I enjoy eating it, but spicy tuna is about as crazy as I get. Todd & I joined some business partners for dinner at Sushi Sasa the night before we came home. This was the nicest sushi restaurant I'd ever been to, but that's probably not saying much considering I buy most of my sushi at Roche Brothers. One of the folks we ate with had lived in Tokyo for a year and a half, and the other had a taste for monkfish liver (I passed on this). The miso soup, California roll, tuna roll, spicy shrimp, spicy tuna, and crab were all delicious. I was shocked that I managed to leave a sushi restaurant with a full stomach! I also tried a nice brew, Great Divide Samurai Rice Ale. This won't be something I go out of my way to purchase, but the light body paired well with the sushi. 

Overall my favorite thing about eating in Denver was that nice restaurants maintained a casual dress code. I felt comfortable in jeans no matter where we went. That's my kind of town.

I'd be interested to hear if we missed any other great places to eat in Denver. If you know of any, please leave a comment so I can hit those places on my next trip!

Don't watch if you haven't finished watching all 36 episodes of Meteor Shower because there are spoiler scenes in this video! By the way, in case you're wondering about the ending which seems cut off by a few seconds (the original video I got was like that), the video just shows the girl, Yuxun, with a shocked and serious face before fading into black. Download video, song, find complete lyrics at my blog http://bit.ly/woGa8

Here's another English-subtitled Meteor Shower OST video, Fen Shen Qing Ren, by Wei Chen (Ye Shuo): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlBmYk...

Shi Yi Lyrics

Open your diary,
fan kai ri ji

and sort out your shattered moods.
zheng li po sui de xin qing

You don't know how
bu zhi zen me

you can't remember anything.
ni shen me dou yi ji bu qi

But I trust
dan wo xiang xin

just having mutual love leads to charms.
zhi yao xiang ai jiu you mo li

But you get disappointed again and again.
dan shi huan lai, yi ci you yi ci shi yi

//Our love seems like melting ice cream,
ni wo de ai, xiang rong hua de bing qi ling

sweet, yet it doesn't glisten the same way.
sui ran hen tian, que mei you le na zhong jing ying

I will repeatedly go over things with you daily
wo hui mei tian, fan fan fu fu gei ni wen xi

so we can recover that lost sweet happiness.
zhao hui na fen yi shi de zhuan shu tian mi

How could I forget the feelings
zen me hui wang le qing

if I lost you?
rang wo diu le ni

In a silly way,
sha sha de

thinking that we could still be together,
hai yi wei neng gou zai yi qi

I'd wish after the stars.
hua guo le liu xing

If you're not by my side,
shen bian mei you ni

even realizing my dreams would have no meaning.
jiu suan meng shi xian ye mei yi yi **

Repeat // to **

thinking that we could still be together,
hai yi wei neng gou zai yi qi

I'd wish after the stars.
hua guo le liu xing

If you're not by my side,
shen bian mei you ni

even realizing my dreams would have no meaning.
jiu suan meng shi xian ye mei yi yi

Why do we need subs a journo pal asks? I guess to avoid cock ups like this.
Funny tho.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Or perhaps this was a story that was just made for this particular headline. I refer to the court case involving heroin addict Adam Nelson who escaped form a drug rehab centre on Papa Stour, across the treacherous Sound of Papa to Shetland, by rowing boat.
Whatever, yesterday's Daily Record followed to the letter the superb example set by Press and Journal subs when the Aberdeen title first reported this story back on 22 December - They Tried To Make Me Go To Rehab - But I Said Row, Row, Row.
NB. Can't find the weblink for the orginal Press and Journal story which is a shame.

We journos tend to get carried away with our own input in to what ends up on the printed page and increasingly online. And we are guilty of failing to pay tribute to the subs who clean up our copy and dream up the wonderful headlines which elevate a story from a run of the mill page lead to something that will make you stop for a bit and actually read the damn words.
So I doff my cap to the Press and Journal sub and Amy Winehouse fan who came up with this beauty for a page 18 story in today's edition.
The story is about teenager Adam Nelson who escaped by rowing boat from a drug rehabilitation centre on the island of Papa Stour across the Sound of Papa to Shetland mainland.
The headline: "They tried to make me go to rehab but I said row, row row"
Brilliant.
