Is Casa Bonita Still a Thing? Plus, a 'Food Truck Park' and Where to Get Your Dessert On

It’s Thursday, and we’re here to get you ready for a great Denver weekend! Newsletter editor and resident foodie Peyton Garcia joins to talk through the latest food news and exciting new places to eat — so long as your heart’s not set on Casa Bonita. It’s been months, and we’re tired of disappointing out-of-towners who want to eat at the still-not-really-open Pink Palace. No, we don’t have a hook-up! A new interview with CB’s chef Dana Rodriguez has got us thinking about how much track is left in front of this hype train. Plus, Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are asking: Who’s building Denver’s first “ food truck park ”? Where’s the best place to indulge your sweet tooth for this Saturday’s National Dessert Day? And what cool things are happening around town this weekend? Here are links to all the events Peyton mentioned: Ghosts in the Gardens (Denver Botanic Gardens) Solar Eclipse (Various) World Migratory Bird Day (Arvada) Colorado Food Showcase (National Western Center) For even more news and cool events around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm .
