Shinin' Times at the Fort

If you're ever in the Denver area and on the hunt for bona fide Western food, look no further than the Fort, a majestic, adobe-style restaurant run by proprietor Holly Arnold Kinney. Since its hand-carved wooden doors opened in 1963, the Fort's menu has channeled the early-19th-century frontier, with game meats, indigenous vegetables and grains, and Native American dishes always composing its regular offerings. It's no surprise that this landmark of regional American cuisine attracts foodies and American history buffs alike. Holly will join us at this Wednesday's Beard on Books (12:00 noon in the Beard House dining room) to speak about the Fort's vibrant history and the "New Foods of the Old West" that she proudly serves.

Recipe: Crackling-Crusted Scallops with Tabasco Sauce and Tasso Ham Candy

by jbfauthor on August 09, 2011

Crackling-Crusted Diver Scallops with Tabasco Sauce and Tasso Ham Candy In this Cajun-style recipe from Louisianan chef Scott Varnedoe, scallops are hugged in a porky crust of powdered cracklings, then napped with a buttery Tabasco sauce. Varnedoe plays up the porcine factor by adding candied shards of smoky tasso ham, a regional specialty that's woefully hard to come by beyond Bayou Country, but thick-cut sliced bacon or pancetta work well in its place. Get the recipe here, and don't forget to serve some of

Market Haul: August 3

by Anya Hoffman on August 03, 2011

the market haulIt probably comes as no surprise that here at the JBF offices, we like to talk about food—a lot. One of the topics we most often discuss is what we bought at the greenmarket or received in our weekly CSA box and what we’re planning on cooking with it. Sometimes even the most experienced cook needs a little inspiration, especially when faced with five pounds of rutabaga for the third week in a row. To bring that conversation to our readers, we’re launching a new series called Market Haul in which we’ll share a list of ingredients and the dishes we plan to make with them. We hope you’ll jump into the discussion with your own recipe ideas and ingredient challenges

The Haul: green beans, dill, Japanese eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, cipollini onions, carrots, garlic, kohlrabi, Walla Walla onions, peaches, nectarines, blueberries

Grilled Loup de Mer with Braised FennelGrilled loup de mer with braised fennel

Grilled Texas Tenderloin Oak wood chips lend this succulent tenderloin a powerful smoky flavor. California-Style Char Siu Pork Tacos So easy and so delicious. Just make sure to give this recipe from Suzanne Tracht the time it deserves: for best results, the pork needs to marinate for three to five days before grilling. Grilled
