Inside Baker’s New Chinese Spot, Boulder Bites, and the ‘Hawaiian Plate Lunch’
We’re talking noodles, dumplings, and cocktails unapologetically seasoned with MSG as host Bree Davies chats with newsletter editor Peyton Garcia and producer Olivia Jewell Love about their preview of the new MAKfam restaurant in Baker (Opening Nov. 1). Then, it’s all about that Spam musubi — Denver has seen a welcome proliferation of Hawaiian restaurants serving up their own version of Pacific Island cuisine lately. So, what’s bringing so many Hawaiians to Colorado in the first place? Plus, the best place to see a dancing ghost, Boulder’s big bite night, and more events for your weekend.
Check out this piece from the New York Times for more background on the “Hawaiian Plate Lunch.”
Here are links to all the events Peyton mentioned:
- First Bite Boulder (Boulder)
- Monster and Horror Art Expo (Lakewood)
- Dancing in the Dark: A Haunted House Experience (Aurora)
- TurkeyU BBQ Class (Fort Collins)
