Chef

Hosea Rosenberg

"I used to live a few blocks from Pete's, and it was my favorite spot to head to after a show or even a long night of drinking. They're open for 24 hours on the weekends, and the lines can stretch a block. Get it with a shake!"

"This is where I go if I'm in Denver and in need of some seriously delicious, filling, and oftentimes hangover-curing food. Any of the tortas with egg in them will cure whatever may ail you."

"Actually, anything that comes out of the oven at Basta is often times my favorite thing on earth. Chef Kelly has the magic touch, and if I could hire him to be my personal chef for the rest of time, I would."

"I know I'm not the only one who thinks this dish is ethereal, as it has stayed on Alex's menu since forever. It's not an easy dish to prepare and serve correctly, which makes it all the more amazing when you bite into it. It's a dish that's never going to be given justice with words; it must be eaten."

"It was one of the first things I ever tried at this amazing spot. It is still hands down my favorite bite there. It's not always on the menu so make sure to call ahead to see if it's available."

"This is a simple, homey dish of meatballs and polenta that is elevated by the ingredients. Every single bite is perfect. This dish is on my short list of 'last meals.'"
