It has been a big summer for restaurant openings across metro Denver — despite the difficulties of running a restaurant in the post-pandemic era. Casa Bonita made the biggest splash — it’s the only one with actual divers, after all — but there were plenty of other notable names that polished silverware and placed menus on tables for the very first time.Here’s a list of some of the biggest, from an out-of-state bagel chain that has people lining up down the block on Tennyson Street to a hyper-local, modern fine-dining spot downtown.The Bacon Sun City sandwich at Call Your Mother, a new deli in Denver.

Sean Payton played coy after New Orleans’ 2007 preseason finale.Then a second-year head coach, Payton had an undrafted running back who had impressed in training camp and surged in preseason games.On that late August night, Pierre Thomas racked up 163 all-purpose yards, including 81 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.“He ran well, picked up some big (first) downs for us, and he’s pretty consistent,” Payton said, according to the Associated Press at the time, which called the head coach “noncommittal” on Thomas’ roster status.What Payton wasn’t letting on that night is that the Saints pretty much knew they’d keep Thomas and perhaps also knew that meant waiving fourth-round draft pick Antonio Pittman.So many years later, Payton, now the Broncos’ first-year head coach, considers this particular anecdote instructive to his roster-building ethos.“By the time we were halfway through camp, it was evident that Pierre was playing really well,” Payton said earlier t...Costco pulling Kirkland vodka from shelves over 'horrible' odor

Costco has removed multiple lots of its popular Kirkland-brand vodka from shelves amid allegations that the spirit is leaving a bad taste in customers’ mouths.In an email sent to customers last week (and shared to Reddit), Costco admitted that recent batches of Kirkland Signature American Vodka sold between June 12 and Aug. 10, 2023, did not meet the company's standards for quality.“It has come to our attention that the taste profile of units marked with certain lot codes may not have met the expected profile normally consistent with this product,” reads a statement shared with Nexstar, and also included in the email. “While not a food safety issue, this does not meet our quality expectations.” Costco crackdown: Can people in my household still use my Costco membership? The email appeared to indicate that Kirkland Signature American Vodka bearing any of 27 different lot codes was affected by the quality issue. (A representative for Costco did not provide the affected lot numbers i...San Bernardino County middle school teacher accused of teaching class while drunk

New Kids on the Block helped find one

For months after her diagnosis, Theresa Crockett told almost no one the results: Her kidneys were failing from the same hereditary disease that left her mother and sister on dialysis. She’d soon need a kidney transplant.But a transplant was a longshot with terrible odds, Crockett knew. The waiting list for a kidney transplant in California is eight to 10 years, she says, which leaves individual patients often soliciting donor kidneys through social networks and word of mouth.“Because I was advocating for my sister, we would make T-shirts, magnets, do social media, and ask people to share,” Crockett, 53, says of her earlier efforts to find someone willing to donate one of their kidneys to her sister, Sandy Henson, 55. “But unfortunately, people don’t share.“They mean well, and they say, ‘I’ll pray for you,’ but they don’t share,” she says. “So I knew I had to do something out of the box.”Theresa Crockett holds a poster, similar to the one that she took to a New Kids on the Block conc...Latest news
