Restaurants I’ve Been To

  1. Flying W Ranch. Best baked beans I’ve ever had. $256 for 4 people.

  2. The Denver Biscuit Company.

  3. Edelweiss. German food that was pretty good.

  4. Famous Steakhouse. Find something better.

  5. Urban Egg. Everything was good here and the drink with strawberries and mint is a must.

  6. Guard and Grace in Denver. Highly recommend, but it is expensive. The steak flight was great for two people to share and the truffle mac and cheese and the potatoes au gratin were the best. Very interesting and strong drinks.
