"If you find yourself in Denver, try and stop at The Cooper Lounge at Union Station and order their Old Fashioned. It’s incredible and you get to enjoy it in a swanky setting that pays homage to the era of high style travel similar to that of the Orient Express. raul_wiley"

"A lightning trip to central Florida to shoot a show, and I couldn't resist stopping at one of the only James Beard Award Winning Barbecue spots in the country!! 4 Rivers Smokehouse!"

"This polenta makes me question how it could be that good. That’s just how good it is."

"This is the best 'real' croquetta outside of Spain. It's got this perfectly creamy potato filling complemented by smoky ham (serrano ham, nonetheless), all sealed in a crispy breaded coating. Three of these and a glass of wine, and I'm in heaven."

"Every single one of these dumplings are handcrafted, and when you bite into them, you just know. My hat goes off to whomever makes something by hand."

"The pancakes at Front Porch Café come with a side of sweet nostalgia. The addition of granola, oatmeal, almonds, and honey make these pancakes simply wonderful."
