Although it's in Fort Collins, not Denver, you can't talk about Colorado craft brewers without mentioning New Belgium Brewing Co - the best beers in the state. And for a huge selection (75+) of tap beers, specializing in microbreweries and imports, you can't beat the Falling Rock Tap House on Blake St in LoDo, near Coors Field.

Yay for a Denver post! I used to think Denver didn't have much going for it in the way of unique food offerings, but then I started to travel more and realized how hard it was to find fast-casual food outlets (Chipotle, Tokyo Joe's, The Spicy Pickle, Noodles, etc.) and decent green chile anywhere else. You can find anything you want here, as Denver's "Crossroads of the West" location pulls in good representatives of all types of food cultures.

As a New Mexican living in Denver, NM definitely gets the claim on the green chile cheeseburger.
Even though the availability of green chile in CO is much better than any other non-NM state, it's still no where near that of New Mexico. That being said, NM Red and Green are becoming a standard of CO food. I can get green chile on my Sonic cheeseburger :)

Noodles & Co. is not bad for chain food. Eat in, though; the takeout packaging is heinous.

That pizza dough is way too pouffy.

My sister and I just enjoyed these in August. They were delicious and she was the sweetest, loveliest vendor. There are so many options on that Burlington strip, but save room for the dumplings!

spread the dumpling love! yes!

Oh do I miss living in Vermont and working on Church Street. Great city Burlington!

They're tastey but they're like 700 calories each!!!!!!

I don't have any silicone pans, but I imagine that they might get a grimy build-up on them. Any comments?

No silicone for me. I don't even like the hot pads, too slimey. I feel like I have to grip super hard so that I don't drop my hot pans.

Ooh, good call, @bigfatmouth.

It is kind of like comparing a normal onion vs. a vidalia onion. I believe the Hatch chiles are closely related to anaheims, but because of where they are grown they have some fantastic subtleties and depth of flavor.

I like red chiles too, don't get me wrong. But greens will always be my first love. Although I would much rather have a red chile dish as opposed to a canned green chile dish. The freshness is key!
