Here’s 5 great dishes to try on a cold day in Denver

Let’s say it’s been snowing all day and you’ve been ‘working at home’. The Netflix on your TV asks you if you’re still watching, and you’re trying your best to send those final emails. You had coffee for lunch, and your stomach is calling for dinner. The truth is that, while it requires a change of clothes, you don’t feel like cooking and you’ve gotta get out of the house. So where to? Here are five great cold day in Denver dishes you can find locally that are worth braving the polar punishment for: 1.Pho - For the absolute best Vietnamese fare, try the Little Saigon business district on Federal between Alameda and Mississippi. Hot broth & fresh healthy food is the perfect nightcap. 2.Gumbo - Ironically from a very warm part of the country, nothing beats a hearty Gumbo on a cold day in Denver. If you’re into this kind of thing, pop into Lincoln’s Roadhouse near Wash Park. Yes, it’s a well kept dive, which means it’s perfect for a casual night of Gumbo and a few beers. 3.Fish & Chips - Sometimes overlooked as a comfort food, but the Brits know how to help ward off a cold day. Try the original GB’s on Broadway, I know you’ve driven past it a thousand times. It’s a smaller joint where community tables, good food, and soccer on the telly will get you singing olé in no time. 4.Pozole - Tacos get all the hype, and they deserve it, but don’t overlook the Pozole at Uno Mas 2 off 6th Ave. This restaurant's commitment to quality, authenticity, and experience has never let me down, and this has got to be one the best cups of Pozole in Denver. Couple one of these with any taco and a house margarita and you’ll never be discouraged by a cold day again. 5.Soul Food - I know Denver is not really a soul food town, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be found. Nearly everybody likes a good fried chicken, and if you’re willing to try more the Welton St. Cafe has it. Try this 5 Points haunt and learn a thing or two about this neighborhood’s history; you may just be back for the 5 points jazz festival.
