What Does Denver Taste Like? Debating Our Claims to Food Fame

from City Cast Denver · host City Cast

Little Man Ice Cream just announced plans to start shipping its beloved sweet treats nationwide, inviting the country to get in on Denver-favorite flavors like Salty O, Space Junkie, and more. But this also had us thinking about Colorado’s greatest contributions to the national culinary landscape – what are our claims to food fame anyway? Dan Pashman, host of the James Beard Award-Winning podcast The Sporkful, joined host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi last November to discuss the memorable (and regrettable) dishes the Mile High City put on the map. We mention the Sporkful episode Paul produced last year about Beau Jo’s and “Colorado-Style Pizza.”  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
