"The newly opened Banty Rooster with a Southwestern culinary theme comes via Denver restaurateur Delores Tronco-DePierro, and the premises, a stone’s throw from the Jefferson Market Library, offer several airy seating areas. Highlights of a recent meal include a plate of fried chicken skin with a buttermilk dressing that reminded me of Charleston’s Husk, a chile focaccia with house-churned butter, and a pork collar surmounted by a little heap of Hatch chiles (I wish the heap had been larger). Don’t miss the lard cookies called biscochitos, flavored with anise and cinnamon — though here they’re made with butter." - Eater Staff
