3 of our favorite bites from Michelin-recommended restaurants in Denver

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:27:49 GMT

While it might be difficult to get a reservation at Denver’s three newly Michelin-starred restaurants, there’s still plenty of Michelin love to go around.In addition to Michelin-starred Bruto, The Wolf’s Tailor and Beckon, Denver is now home to eight out of nine Bib Gourmand restaurants and 15 out of 30 Michelin-recommended restaurants. All of these are different categories, with the stars being the highest honor.Recommended restaurants mean that the guidebook’s reviewers felt they enjoyed a good meal with quality ingredients, according to Michelin. But not at the same level as the stars.Still, there’s no better time to be eating around town and indulging in the restaurants that are putting Denver’s food scene on the map. Here are three of my favorite recent bites from Michelin-recommended restaurants around the Mile High City:Temaki Den: Salmon oshizushiYou can’t go wrong with anything on Temaki Den’s menu. But once you pop a piece of salmon oshizushi in your mout...

Metro Denver home prices hanging on tight despite a drop in sales

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:27:49 GMT

A  chill settled on the metro Denver housing market last month as the typical end-of-summer slowdown combined with higher mortgage rates to drive sales down by a fifth from the levels seen in August, according to a monthly update from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. The Daily Mortgage News reported the average rate on 30-year loans is now around 7.7%. Across several measures, the metro Denver housing market is softening. But buyers still aren’t getting what they really want — a significant drop in prices.“While overall the data reflects marginal changes, this small indicator showcases that prices are still strong,” Libby Levinson-Katz, chairwoman of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and a local Realtor said in comments accompanying the report.Closings for both homes and condos fell nearly 21% last month from August and they are down 28.2% from September of last year. Some of that monthly decline is seasonal, but the monthly drop in sales last year was 8.4% and t...

Broncos fans could have two chances to spy Taylor Swift in October

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:27:49 GMT

The hottest thing in football right now is actually pop music.Since singer Taylor Swift first made an appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sept. 24, her suspected relationship with tight end Travis Kelce has been the most talked about storyline in the NFL. She reappeared in box seats over the weekend with several famous friends such as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for Sunday Night Football when the Chiefs took on the New York Jets.The Swift effect is in full force, sending Kelce jersey sales skyrocketing and attracting more women to the game. Sunday Night Football viewership among girls ages 12 to 17 was up significantly (53%), according to NBC, as was viewership among women ages 18 to 24 (up 24%) and women older than 35 (up 34%).A Taylor Swift appearance could bolster the Denver Broncos’ so-far lackluster season. While it’s unclear if the reigning queen of pop music will attend any more NFL games, local Broncos fans and Swifties will have two chances to possibly catch her...

Denver-based Spruce Power Holding Corp., which converts commercial trucks into hybrid vehicles, exaggerated revenue projections and misled investors as part of its public offering nearly three years ago, according to charges filed against the company last week by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.Spruce Power, previously known as XL Fleet before changing its name last November, went public in December 2020 through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company or SPAC.XL Fleet, in its public filings ahead of the merger, claimed it had a 12-month pipeline of $220 million in sales and projected $1.4 billion in sales three years out, estimates the SEC called “misleading.”The SEC alleged the future sale estimates consisted almost entirely of speculative opportunities, including sales to potential customers the company had little or no contact with, customers XL Fleet couldn’t legally sell its products to and stale prospects.

Along with myrcene and beta-caryophyllene, limonene is considered a “primary terpene” because it appears in many hemp strains.So, what does a high limonene concentration mean?
