Hello foodies! It has been nearly a year since I posted- and man have I eaten a LOT since then! I still have my insane pho obsession- and am planning to finally visit the #1 ranked pho restaurant in Denver tonight-Pho 95 on South Federal Boulevard (which happens to be right next to pho Duy, the Second-Best rated pho restaurant in Denver). I'm still searching out places to get high quality sweet tea besides Famous Dave's. I have also found a lot of vegan and vegetarian noms that I have enjoyed in the past year (following my vegan friend from middle school also moving to the area).
WaterCourse Foods is by far the go-to spot for vegetarian and vegan cooking. I really just think this is because there, surprisingly, aren't a ton of vegan options. My favorite things there thus far have been their seitan buffalo wings and thai tomato soup. I have never had something taste so close to hot wings-including bad hot wings. The soup is incredible and creamy with that hint of lemongrass you'd expect from Thai food. Also, if you're into sweets- WCF also has a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan desserts.
Mercury Cafe is also a yummy and ecletic spot for farm-raised, local, vegetarian and vegan dining. While this is a great place for herbivores- they also serve up locally raised and naturally-fed beef, poultry- even buffalo! They have open mic nights and live music in one room and the entire place is covered in orange christmas lights...kinda weird, but it matches the people who work there (they're friendly, don't get me wrong, just very...unique). Mercury also has Vegan and Vegetarian dessert selections.
I am currently torn over a place called Golden Saigon in Aurora- see yelp review: http://bit.ly/kOgvcs
I'm also about to review two of my favorite sushi places :) I will post copies of these shortly.
Glad to be noming again!
