How ‘Dangerous’ is Dining Downtown? Plus, New Flavors of the Old West
Feb 14, 2023•20 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
It’s Valentine’s Day, so we’re surveying the dining scene with Westword’s food editor Molly Martin and editor-in-chief Patty Calhoun. First, Molly’s recent piece about giving leftovers away to an unhoused person sparked a heated conversation online about how “dangerous” it is to dine out downtown right now. So we’re digging into that thorny topic, then Molly and Patty report back from visiting two iconic Denver-area Western restaurants: The Fort, which is turning 60 this year, and El Rancho, which was recently reopened with new owners and Chef Frank Bonanno.
Help celebrate The Fort’s 60th anniversary with a big party this Friday, Feb. 17. Get all the details here.
