Aspen: Ute City Bar & Grill

With my parents in town for just two nights, we decided to hit the town one night and cook one night.

More food torture for me: Apparently everyone loved the old Athenian Grill (closed for about 2 years now?) and is super-excited about the new one opening up at 6th and Congress, across from Ruth’s Chris. This Tuesday was its first day back in business, and the folks over at chowhound are already all over it,…

Moonshine

Since all I want to do is eat some solid food (Day 9 of the Cleanse), I’m going to go ahead and torture myself and talk about Moonshine. The Third-and-Red-River hotspot has the best of many worlds–business/tourist traffic with the Convention Center and downtown and local traffic for the downtown reason and because it’s just…
