"A Michelin-recommended restaurant as of last year, Jared and Amanda Leonard’s south Denver hideaway pit-smokes over post oak in Texan fashion to yield less-common dishes such as Wagyu pastrami, spicy beef sausage, and tri-tip, accompanied by equally irresistible sides like custard-filled cornbread and truffled mac and cheese. A solid beer selection and sometime specials (think short-rib empanadas and boudin balls) seal the deal." - Rebecca Treon, Eater Staff, Nisa Sedaghat, Ruth Tobias
