"This Morrison slice of history is serving up a honey-roasted turkey dinner for the holiday ($52 for adults, $31 for children) that comes with gravy, mashed potatoes, fire-roasted maple yams, sausage-apple stuffing, green beans with almonds, cranberry relish, and brandied pumpkin pie." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"Sure, it’s touristy, but this Morrison property — which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places — actually does have something entertaining to say about the evolution of Colorado cuisine. Its signature appetizer platter includes not only Rocky Mountain oysters (yes, bull testicles) but also bison sausage and bison tongue, plus peanut butter–stuffed and pickled jalapeños, guacamole and chips, and two dipping sauces for good measure." - Gigi Sukin, Ruth Tobias
"This classic Denver destination is right out of the old West. The Bear Hunter’s Tea combines black tea with a dose of German Bärenjäger honey liqueur." - Rebecca Treon
"Located just southwest of Denver and modeled on old fur trading fort of the 19th Century, The Fort is dedicated to upholding the culinary traditions of the Old West. Rocky Mountain oysters are available for the adventurous sort, as well as a selection of historic cocktails, including a sweet bourbon and mint concoction called the Hailstorm. Make a day of it with a trip to the nearby Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave and a post-dinner concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre." - Eater Staff
