As we wrap up a week of fall getaways, we wanted to leave you with an enticing list of delicious destinations — restaurants we’d go the extra mile (or hundreds of miles) for! Whether you are looking for perfect pizza a mere 45 minutes away or charcuterie so good it’s worth planning a weekend around, producer Paul Karolyi and newsletter editor Peyton Garcia have got you covered. Plus, stick around for a round-up of the coolest events going down this weekend, and Paul and Peyton’s pick for our official City Cast Denver “Maybe” — as in maybe you’ll see us there!


Here are links to the spots we discussed: 


Paul mentioned this New Yorker story about Hell’s Backbone Grill from 2018.
