Casa Bonita Shows Signs of Life...on the Web, at Least

On the one-year anniversary of the day when all Colorado restaurants were ordered closed to on-premises dining, there are signs of life at Casa Bonita.
Not at 6715 West Colfax Avenue, the home of the pink palace since 1974 — but on the web, where casabonitadenver.com has been revived, after a year offline and endless speculation about the future of Colorado's first, and certainly most legendary, eatertainment concept.
Casa Bonita is "celebrating 46 years of family fun," according to the website, which doesn't offer much more (although the video section is stuffed better than a Casa Bonita taco). The Facebook link is broken, and while the home page promises "red hot deals, just a click away" as of March 17, that click simply takes you to a repeat of the message that "Casa Bonita is re-opening soon! Check back here for more information as it becomes available."

Save Casa Bonita GoFundMe Launched to Preserve Lakewood's Pink Palace

Casa Bonita reopened this week — on Comedy Central, at least, where
South Park's Vaccination Special ended with the welcome news that Lakewood's pink palace was back in business.
In reality, though, Casa Bonita — the original eatertainment extravaganza that opened almost five decades ago at 6715 West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood — has been closed since March 2020, with no reopening in sight. That's why the spot's top fan, Andrew Novick, and some colleagues just launched a "Save Casa Bonita" campaign on gofundme.com.
Novick has been in touch with Star Buffet, Casa Bonita's owner, over the past year; CEO Robert Wheaton has promised to reopen the place, and new COVID-19 guidelines in Jefferson County make it increasingly possible to open such a massive complex, even at just 50 percent capacity. But Novick isn't waiting around for Wheaton to take action: He says he wants to show the world (and any developers sniffing around) that people are committed to keeping Casa Bonita here, no matter who owns it.

El Chapultepec Is Becoming Cantina, and Jazz Fans Are Worried

In December, the family of Jerry Krantz, who'd run El Chapultepec for decades, announced that they were closing the legendary jazz club at 1962 Market Street — and would not be selling the business or the name. They didn't own the building, though, and now we know what's moving in:
Cantina, a new club from Valentes Corleons, who owns the nearby Beta Event Center. Renovations are already under way, and the plan is to host several kinds of music, including jazz.
After hearing the news, readers quickly started sounding off on the
Taking an iconic place like that and giving it over to something like Beta...

Historic Snowfall Predicted for Denver, but Reader Wonders Where the Storm Is

Weather forecasting has come a long way over the last three decades, says Marty Coniglio. Back in March 1990, when he told his news office that Denver would see a big blizzard in five days, his revelation was met with disbelief. Bigger and better computers doing more calculations led to better forecasts, he says.
So how much snow will Denver see this weekend? Looking at the models late Thursday, Coniglio went with totals of between 18 and 24 inches. But we're still a day or two away from seeing if he's right. In the meantime, readers have been posting a flurry of comments on the

Denver Restaurant Week Moves to Spring in 2021

If this were a normal year, we’d just be pushing back from the table after the ten-day eating orgy that is usually Denver Restaurant Week. But this isn’t any normal year.
On March 5, 2020, five days after the finale of last year’s Denver Restaurant Week — the sixteenth annual celebration of the city’s culinary scene designed to coincide with a slow time of year for restaurants — Colorado registered its first COVID-19 case. By March 17, all restaurants across the state had been ordered closed for anything other than takeout and delivery. In late May, most were able to reopen their dining rooms at very limited capacity levels, but it’s been a tough, tough time for the dining industry.

On 303 Day, We Celebrate the Five Best Denver Food Inventions

In the 2014 film
What If, two twenty-something hipsters in Toronto start talking about a sandwich that was created in Denver almost forty years ago, when the Colorado Mine Company was the hottest restaurant in Glendale, beloved by athletes, cops...and Elvis. According to legend, the gargantuan Fool's Gold Loaf was cooked up one night in 1976 when the King was in town for a concert and hungry; he'd later send his plane in to pick up an order.
If you want to re-create this indelicate delicacy at home, it's basically a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with bacon, made with two tablespoons of margarine, one loaf of French bread, one pound of bacon, one jar of peanut butter and one jar of grape jelly. You take the bread, bathe it in butter on all sides, bake it, gut it and then fill the inside with peanut butter and jelly — and bacon, sans grease, which you absorb by placing it between two paper towels.
