"Feeding a crowd is a snap at Big Red F’s chicken shack in Rosedale (as well as Boulder, Longmont, and Lafayette): Just order the Throwdown, which comes with 16 pieces of fried bird, four large sides — think buttermilk waffles with pumpkin seed butter and syrup, green chile mac-and-cheese, and collard greens with pork belly — as well as eight biscuits and pickles. An 88-ounce tower of beer from the Post’s brewery should help to wash it all down." - Ruth Tobias
