September 10, 2024 · — Peyton Garcia
Good morning, Denver! Maybe it’s because I just busted out my seasonal recipe book, but it’s finally starting to feel like fall — at least, in my kitchen that is. Butternut squash soup, turkey chili, pumpkin cheesecake … 🤤 I’m soliciting quick and easy fall recipes to share in the newsletter. Share your favorite!
What's CITY Talking About?
⭐ Michelin Star Surprises and Snubs
Which Colorado restaurants got one of the coveted 2024 Michelin gold stars? Which didn’t? And what does it all say about the famed French tire company’s grip on the world of fine dining? [City Cast Denver 🎧]
- Speaking of culinary accolades: Denver’s newest, hottest Vietnamese joint, was named to Bon Appétit’s “20 Best New Restaurants of 2024.” [Bon Appétit]
🥯 The Bagel Wars Wage On
The stalwart Jewish restaurant Zaidy’s has stopped baking its own bagels and will instead source from former bagel competitor Rosenberg’s, which is reviving its wholesale business. Zaidy’s owner Joel Appel says they saw a dip in bagel sales after Call Your Mother opened three shops across Denver in the last 18 months. [BusinessDen 🔒]
- Competition is fierce: The DC-based Call Your Mother is deploying bagel trucks in Platt Park and RiNo to test the areas for potential future shops. [BusinessDen 🔒]
- But who is the best? We put the city’s most popular bagel places up against each other in our recent search for Denver’s best. [City Cast Denver 🎧]
People are finding their way back [to us]. They like the vibe [at Call Your Mother], but don’t like the product.
