Denver travel guide
A Denver Food Crawl: Thin-Crust Pizza, Korean Fried Chicken, and Two Bucket List Stops
Denver turned into a full day of eating around our stop on the NBA Arena Quest: thin-crust pizza, a proper steak frites, a Korean fried chicken spot we were excited to support, and a couple of bucket list items along the way that we're saving for the video itself.
Where we ate.
Charlie Boy Pizza
Gorland, Denver, COThin-crust pizza
Get: A thin-crust pie
Genuinely thin and tasty, the kind of crust that lets the toppings do the talking instead of getting buried under a thick base.
22 Provisions
Denver, COSteak frites
Get: Steak frites with chimichurri
A genuinely beautiful plate: a well-cooked steak and crisp frites, with the chimichurri doing a lot of the heavy lifting on flavor.
Corvus
Denver, COCoffee
Get: A Kyoto cold brew and a sesame cookie
The Kyoto-style cold brew was excellent, slow-dripped and smooth, and the sesame cookie on the side made for a great pairing.
Atomic Cowboy / Denver Biscuit Company
Denver, COBiscuits, hot sauce bar
Get: Biscuits with a rotating lineup of hot sauces
One of Denver's most popular biscuit spots, known as much for its lineup of unique hot sauces on the table as the biscuits themselves.
Tokyo Premium Bakery
Denver, COJapanese bakery
Get: Matcha pastries
Scrumptious matcha pastries, worth the stop on their own if you're a matcha person.
Smith + Canon
Denver, COIce cream
Get: Award-winning ice cream
A genuinely great way to cool down mid-crawl; this ice cream has real award pedigree behind it.
Mono Mono
Denver, COKorean fried chicken
Get: Korean fried chicken
Legit Korean fried chicken, and a Korean-owned spot we were glad to support while we were in town.
Daboba
Denver, COBoba
Get: Boba
A sweet way to close out a full day of eating.
Good to know before you go
- This trip also checked off two bucket list items for us; we're saving those for the video itself instead of spoiling them here.
