July 4th was a bust. The restaurant was painfully slow. To make matters worse, we were going to close early to make it downtown to see the fireworks but by 8 there was a torrential rainstorm. No business, no fireworks. Boo hoo. The best part of all of that was at least today there is a double header today!

atlanta for mike's bday
Mike and I took a roadtrip to Atlanta for a birthday braves game. As always, food plays a large part of our trip. We made a return visit to holeman & finch. They do amazing gastropub fare. We also tried a couple of new places. Krog bar, in old town. Trader vic's for cocktails. Steamhouse lounge, for oysters. Tap, for lunch. I wish we had time for more.

.98cent saki...I'm in love
Mike and I are doing the food tour day on. Downtown denver. Mike came down with the sickness as soon as we got here so no snowboarding for him. We decided to wander around downtown and eat/drink a lot. Our first stop was the cheeky monk for some Belgium beer. We love that place. Next stop, taki on Logan close to the capital building. They have .98 cent saki and a veg tofu bowl for 5.50 that is chock full....yummy.

Favorite new potential dive bar - The Melrose
We have a favorite new dive bar, or at least when it gets dirty it will be the perfect dive bar. The Melrose is located on 8th Avenue south across from the Billiard Hall. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and bottle. There is also a full bar and a limited pub menu. I think the food could use a little attention. I hear the pastrami sandwich is good but I had the nachos and they definitely need some work. They run different specials throughout the week and have some games in the back. All in all, it's a cool spot with a great neighborhood vibe.
A fantastic Russian Restaurant...
Anyone who knows me knows if I go outside the 440 loop I pack a lunch and take a map. Imagine my surprise, when on monday night I found myself accompanied by Mike, Hal and Kim, on Moores Lane at the most fantastic Russian Restaurant. My friend Kim Green has spent some time in Russia and was excited about going. On a quick side note..Kim translated, edited and published a memoir about a WWII Russian woman fighter pilot. The book is riveting and will be released in March. Mirror will host the book release party with Russian inspired food and cocktails. You are all invited. Stay tuned for more details...
Taste of Russia has done a great job with the small interior. It's warm and inviting, but it's the food that really shines. We had the blintzes with salmon caviar, eggplant rolls stuffed with tomatoes and cheese, Smoked Sprats on toast with dill, beef tounge with garlic aioli, potato pancakes, Pelmeni(beef dumplings), Khachapuri (cheese filled bread), Chicken Kiev with buckwheat kasha, cabbage rolls with chilled marinated carrots...you know what, there was more and I'm starting to salivate so I have to stop! Suffice it to say everything was delicious and so reasonably priced it was unbelievable. The cabbage rolls are now my new food craving. As a matter of fact, I've got my map in the car...I wonder if I could beat traffic...
WoW!
I hope you are all well. It has been pointed out that I have been remiss in my posts. (Thanks Shane...Mel...) After New Years Mike and I took it easy for a little while like the rest of you. Now, we are getting back out there and have some fun things to email about. New restaurants...new classes...and new customers...like ROBERT PLANT!!! I'm not usually one who goes nuts when someone famous is around (unless Tom Jones walked in. Then, I might faint.) Robert Plant is just..ugh...ROCK & ROLL HISTORY!!!! Wow. He came in Friday night, had a nice quiet supper then came back again on Saturday with Allison Krauss. I'm really not easily impressed but, Yeah!
