    Tavernetta and Sushi Den yes! I also love Barcelona, The Kitchen and uchi. But I’m biased, I have personal connections with their c-level leadership. I’m still watching all your vids to keep tabs on Denver. There’s a possible return down the road!

    Can you give me some of your fav local coffee shops in Denver please. Planning a trip this winter and want to hit up local spots, not just chains like Starbucks. Thank you for this video and for the breakfast video too. I took all of them down for our trip. We will only be in Denver for about 3 days so we will not get to try them all. Any must do/see spot for a winter Trip (late December/ early January time) Also if you have any recommendation for food and coffee in Telluride we plan to go there too. - thank you so much Michelle from Destin, FL

    Great video! Would you consider doing a video on best Mexican on a budget? My favorite is El Jardin in Commerce City. El Jardin's salsa is incredibly good, even addictive! Also, Senor Ric in Aurora is very good.

    • @DenverLivingwithSam
      @DenverLivingwithSam  Рік тому

      Ok so I need to try both of these because I’ve never heard of them! Clearly need to get more well versed in the topic. My favorite budget Mexican that I’ve had is 7 Leguas on Colfax.

    Great video Sam, what are your favorite steakhouses? Not for the price but for quality, taste, and flavor! Shanhans and Del Frisco were great, Bastien's good too. Let me know!

    • @DenverLivingwithSam
      @DenverLivingwithSam  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! Shanahan’s is probably my all around favorite. Do love Del Frisco’s Double Eagle as well. Quality Italian actually does a really good steak (and most everything else). Personally wasn’t in love with the steaks at Guard and Grace, so I’m in the minority there, and I kind of hate STK, ha! But yeah, I haven’t found anything that beats Shanahan’s all around. Btw if you ever find yourself in Glenwood Springs, do hit up Juicy Lucy’s.

      @@eddiebitar8421This one is tough. I used to love the Cherry Cricket’s burger but something has changed the past few years. My go to in town, honestly, is the Good Times double. Highly underrated and cheap! But I have heard Fat Sully’s (yes, the pizza place) burgers are elite. Have not yet confirmed but I plan on it.

    Great list, Sam! Really miss the intimate horseshoe bar at bistro vendome.. perfect place to have a before dinner cocktail, or just relax and chat with other patrons. upscale/approachable.. like you could be in the middle of Paris.

    Cholon is probably originated from District 5 Area in Ho Chi Minh City VietNam. Spelled Chợ Lớn meaning Big Market. I believe it’s pronounced “Ch” as in church. 😊

      Okay honestly what is the deal with Guard and Grace? Everyone loves it but when I went (admittedly only once) the steaks were so salty they were almost inedible. Has anyone else had this experience? Do people just love salt? Was it an off night? Am I taking crazy pills?
