July should effortlessly have been dubbed Denver Sandwich Month, what with all of the new sandwich joints cropping up. Frank Bonanno took a flying leap into the fried fowl sandwich fray with Lou’s Food Bar in Governor’s Park, while Platte Park Brewing on South Pearl Street introduced a walk-up sandwich window with its Gates Deli & Grog. Little Beast Street Food does tacos too, but the burgers and Korean fried fowl sandwich are distinct distractions on East Colfax Avenue. And Maine Shack has the high end covered, with true-to-shape lobster rolls with a purpose to have you digging under your vehicle seat for every spare penny to your subsequent dose of New England-style grub.
Not enough sandwich range in that quartet? Carne, new to Santa Fe Drive, gives a half of-dozen meaty Argentinian structures, consisting of the choripan, lomito, and milanesa. Uncle’s new location on South Pennsylvania Street does not serve sandwiches. Still, you can experience sandwiched in amongst all of the Washington Park West buddies flocking in to slurp chef/proprietor Tommy Lee’s noodles.
Other desirable openings include the brand new Turkish eatery to grasp a shingle in the metro location. Antepian Turkish Cuisine (proper next to H Martin Aurora) makes a specialty of kebabs and lahmacun, generally described as “Turkish pizza.” The menu differs from different new Turkish places and Istanbul Bakery & Cafe, which does in most cases sweet and savory baked items, and Bosphorus, serving Mediterranean favorites like doner, kofte, crammed grape leaves, falafel, and hummus.
South Broadway now not has the huevos. Huevos Tacos, an all-day taqueria from the equal those who formerly ran Morning Collective in the equal space, grew to become out the lighting fixtures on July 29, lasting best 3 months. Farther south on Broadway, the Brew on Broadway poured its final beers in July. Fortunately, Brewability Lab will soon take over the gap.
