Celebrate Colorado's Bounty With Harvest Week

Locavores may already be dedicated to the cause, but for those who find eating locally a challenge, Harvest Week [2] is an excellent introduction (and education) into Colorado's exceptional products. From September 12 to 18, some of the 50-plus members of Denver's Independent Network of Restaurants (DINR) present menus featuring locally produced food and beverages. Think locally raised goat shoulder and goat leg from Beatrice & Woodsley [3], grilled peach salad from Locanda del Borgo [4], young dandelion salad from 1515 Restaurant [5], and summer-squash corn chowder with dill pesto from Tables [6]. Bonus: Harvest Week is also a celebration of Colorado-produced wines, beers, and spirits. Check menus for championed sips from Leopold's Bros. [7] liquors, Stranahan's [8] whiskey, and local craft breweries and wineries. For more info, or to preview menus, click here [2].
