\nBig Papa’s BBQ<\/strong>

\nDenver, Colorado
\n80222 (303-300-4499)
\n“Big Papa’s official website<\/a>“…<\/strong>
\n“Love at first bite” It was the sauce that got me, so to speak. It was Maureen’s Memphis Sauce<\/strong> to be precise (there are four sauces to choose from: Suzy’s Carolina Sauce, Maureen’s Memphis Sauce, Heidi’s KC Sauce and Maggie’s Deep South Sauce<\/strong>.) We ordered St. Louis Style Ribs<\/strong> (9 bones of smoked St. Louis Style Ribs) with Cole Slaw & BBQ Beans<\/strong> ($15.29.) I actually had a trancendant-type expierience after a few bites. It could have been the ribs with the Memphis sauce<\/strong> or it could have been the BBQ beans<\/strong> which are equally outstanding ( huge chunks of meat swimming with the beans in an unforgettable sauce…Other entrees include: Baby Back Ribs, Beef Back Ribs, Bison Ribs, Sliced Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork <\/strong>and more…Beer and Wine<\/strong> are available…Big Papa’s caters…The dining room is rather plain, not unlike a fast food place…That won’t keep me away, maybe I’ll just do take-out…Big Papa’s has a second location<\/strong>; click the website link for the address<\/strong>, the complete menu<\/strong>, catering<\/strong> and other information…<\/p>\n

\nIf one tries to find Paulie and Deanna’s<\/strong> on the web, one would think that there is no such place, however, the other evening I enjoyed one of the best Southern-Italian-red sauces <\/strong>that I’ve had in a while, so I know the restaurant exsists…It’s a small restaurant in a strip-mall on North Wadsworth Blvd. <\/strong>I had the sauce<\/strong> with a side<\/strong> of Homemade spaghetti noodles – big, thick spaghetti noodles with two meatballs, salad and bread…The pasta dish was preceded by the dinner salad with the house-dressing. The salad was fresh and chilled; the dressing was above par. The entree portion was huge, especially for the price: the complete dinner was around $8.00…The spaghetti dinner with regular noodles is a buck less. House wine is $4.00, other wines start at $5.00…Wine in carafes are available. Most basic Southern- Italian dishes are on the menu as well as sandwiches, pizza and more…Information for this restaurant is so elusive, I don’t have web-links for menu & other general information. Alas, I did not get a take-out menu nor even a matchbook…I guess I’ll have to return for the sauce – or the “gravy” as Paulie calls it, in his best Martin Scorsese<\/strong> flick voice…<\/p>\n

\nTorres Mexican Food<\/strong> is an authentic Mexican cantina that serves the basic southwestern dishes: burritos, chile rellenos, enchiladas, tacos <\/strong>etc. as well as seafood dinner fare such as: Shrimp\/Oyster cocktails<\/strong>, Shrimp Rancheros<\/strong>, Shrimp fajitas<\/strong>, Fresh oysters<\/strong>, Seafood soup<\/strong>, “Filete” Ranchero<\/strong>, Stripped bass<\/strong>, Tilapia<\/strong>…On my first visit, I had the Green Chile Plate<\/strong> ($6.95) which consisted of a large plate of green chile with big chunks of meat, rising like mountains in the Sea of Cortez<\/strong>, rice & beans and 2 large tortillas…The “regular” Margarita is small, however it is only about $3.75, so… The next step-up is $9.00 – that one is huge. Maybe there should be a mid-size Marg for about $5.00. Other brew prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is decorated like an Mexican coastal restaurant. The booths seem to be a notch higher in quality, so are the (table) chairs which are proudly emblazoned with the Torres name…Speaking of booths, take a booth in the lounge area; the lounge has a bunch of energy…This is a good discovery. Unless something happens to change my mind, this will be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Denver. This is a restaurant where one feels comfortable, accepted and welcome; there is no hoity-toity arrogance<\/strong><\/em>. There is a second location (in a Strip Mall) at 2049 Wadsworth Blvd…<\/p>\n

As soon as you sit down, before you order, you can remove a dollop of PB <\/strong>with your knife and spread it on your spoon. If you can’t wait, you don’t half to at Annie’s<\/strong>…Food quality and proportion size are above average. Beer and wine<\/strong> are available…Family friendly<\/strong>, Annie’s<\/strong> is loaded with old movie-posters, kid’s metal lunch boxes, toy bake-ovens etc…

\nPasquini’s<\/strong> is a long time favorite Denver restaurant…This location is new, but they have the same good food: NY Pizza, Pizzettas, Pastas, Calzones, Salads, Sandwiches, and more…This incarnation is another winner; the building is in an area that used to be Denver’s Little Italy<\/strong>, so it’s authentic…The restaurant is Yuppie heaven with a Vespa on the wall, three different seating areas, a full bar and lots of energy…Click the Las Vegas Buffet Club<\/strong> web link for the page on Pasquini’s or click the Pasquini’s Website link to go directly to their site…
