Has Denver’s Dumpling Moment Finally Arrived?
Sep 18, 2023•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
With the opening of Yuan Wonton’s new shared brick-and-mortar restaurant in Park Hill, the food trend of the fall is officially the humble dumpling. But what can we consider to be a dumpling? Is it just a pocket of dough filled with … something? Or is it much more nuanced? 5280 Magazine’s assistant food editor Ethan Pan is a bonafide dumpling lover, digging into the hype and searching for Denver’s best in his new column for 5280 Magazine — “In the Fold.” So we sent newsletter editor and resident foodie Peyton Garcia out with Ethan to the trendiest new dumpling spot, then they sat down with producer Paul Karolyi to talk all things dumplings.
Here are some links to all the dumpling places we discussed:
Yuan Wonton (Park Hill)
Ace Eat Serve (Uptown)
ChoLon (Central Park)
Oak at Fourteenth (Boulder)
Seoul ManDoo (Aurora)
Bryan’s Dumpling House (Greenwood Village)
Yummy Dumpling (Federal Heights)
The Easy Vegan (City Park Farmers Market + various other locations)
Paul also mentioned the latest news about plant-based protein company Meati and its Thornton “mega factory.”
