Isn't that always what we do when we get together with family? It's definitely true for mine. As if this month hasn't been bad enough, with all sorts of gluttony and drunkenness already encouraged at work, at home, at holiday parties, with friends...
I don't remember the details of each meal, as it is a bit of a haze. Here are the highlights:
I remember shopping on the Pearl Street Mall, then hitting Centro for some beautifully tasty $2 happy hour tacos - the adobo and the shrimp beating out the chicken tacos by a mile. A hot manchego and chorizo fondue was lubricated well with grapefruit margs.
Our party of five blew three bills at Sushi Den. For lunch. With no alcohol. I remember a delicious cold creamy Japanese tofu, some black cod, some tasty eggplant. There was fantastic sashimi. Lots of fresh sushi - toro, uni, buri belly, etc. I could go on.
We had a lovely meal at Limon, though it did worry me that the restaurant was almost completely empty during a time when most restaurants are packed. The kitchen obviously had time to focus on our food, which was excellent. The fritada appetizer - little bits of fried pork - how can you go wrong? The tiradito cebiche was great. As was the Quinotto de hongos, the Arroz con pato, the Corvina bass. Again, I could go on. The cachacaritas and margaritas are also excellent.
Osteria Marco - fun to go at night with all the lights on Larimer. The burrata continues to be amazing, always a favorite. We also discovered a new favorite in the wild mushroom and robiola pizza, drizzled with truffle oil. Earthy, rich, and fantastic. Even the two devoted carnivores at the table agreed that it was the best dish.
Happy, happy holidays...
