Denver, Colorado

“Thar’s gold in them thar hills! Pike’s Peak or Bust” More hype than actuality as it turned out, the slogan drew fortune seekers to Denver environs in 1858 and many stayed. Forged on the eastern slope of the Rockies, the city grew as a supply center for westward-bound wagon trains. The railroad’s arrival in 1870 brought another wave of settlers, plus grist mills for western wheat and numerous stockyards. Today, a skyline of modern office towers marks Denver as the Rocky Mountain region’s principle commercial, financial, and industrial hub. Food traditions in the mile-high city reflect its diverse population and frontier town history, from hearty cuts of beef to buffalo steaks. Teeming with baristas, drive-throughs, brewpubs, pork mains, superb Tex-Mex fare, Asian restaurants, sandwiches (maybe the Denver or Western omelet/sandwich was invented here, although food historians wonder), and barbeque, of course, Denver offers an all-American feast.

Creamed Cabbage

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by Caroline C
I'm embarrassed to admit that I ate the entire pan of this for dinner tonight. I used a mixture of cheeses - extra sharp Cheddar, smoked Gouda and Parmesan. This would be good with cabbage and cauliflower. Delicious. Thanks, Michele!

New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by Caroline C
I omitted the rosemary as I don't like it much, and used fresh basil. If I were to make this again, I wouldn't bother with the beer - I made a trip to the store especially to get it, and it didn't make much of a difference to the flavor. Good stuff though. Thanks!

Cola Pork Chops

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by Aqua
My husband and 2 year old and 3 year old really liked these. I dredged in flour that I seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper and seared in a pan in garlic infused olive oil before baking. I baked my about 1 inch thick chops for 30 minutes.
