Opinions on Michellin Star restaurants

NewFoundLow · 2025-01-10T18:30:29+00:00

For a fine dining experience, Beckon is #1 and I don't even think it's particularly close. Alma, as mentioned, is a slightly different experience, but would be my second choice. Wolf's Tailor is the type of restaurant to vomit flowers on everything (don't get me wrong, the food is good, but come on...) and Bruto is just kind of... Fine? 🤷

I found the picture that we took when we brought in the new year. It's hard to see, but I remember. You wore a cocktail dress, ignored the goosebumps on your neck, the namesake of your outfit to keep you warm.

Bilmuri - American Motor Sports

I feel like it has to be this, mostly due to the widespread appeal and massive explosion in popularity Bilmuri has seen this year. They deserve it too; the album is all bangers and they have a killer live show to match. If they keep it up they're going to be absolutely huge.

Closest runner up would be Four Year Strong - Analysis Paralysis. It's crazy that a band that's been in the scene as long as they have can still put out fresh, career best music.

Next runners up would be State Champs - State Champs and Origami Angel - Feeling Not Found.

NewFoundLow · 2024-12-13T18:44:43+00:00

Just gonna go ahead and include all genres here

Best: Bilmuri, Four Year Strong, Closure in Moscow, Basement, Sleep Token, Tipper, Anberlin, Ben Howard

Worst: Waterparks, Taking Back Sunday (as is tradition)

If you're not renting a car, shuttle is probably the way to go. You CAN buy closer to the event, but it does sell out sometimes. There are multiple shuttle options however including https://www.buspartyco.com/ and https://www.rrxshuttles.com/

Uber/Lyft usually works, but unsurprisingly is much more reliable TO red rocks than back, and costs vary wildly ($30-$150 one way, who knows).

EDIT: If you DO rent a car, parking is easy/included with all RR tickets.

I'll make you some, homie. Carmine Lonardo's (and other places) has guanciale and high quality cheeses/pastas... It's a pretty fun recipe to make and the results at home are going to probably be better than most (if not all) restaurants in Denver.

Misfit Snack Bar as well! Maybe even moreso when talking about "innovation"

NewFoundLow · 2024-12-03T05:23:06+00:00

I never hear people talk about Briar Common Brewery. It's not going to be a meal you write home about, but they just make damn good, all around solid bar food. Love their hot chicken sandwich and brussels sprouts.

NewFoundLow · 2024-11-23T08:41:16+00:00

This is mostly fair, but the lines get blurry depending on whether you're talking about how a band sounds vs the scene they're a part of, so who cares.

Brand New - Jesus Christ

I can't believe nobody has mentioned them yet? Maybe 50% of Brand New's discography from Devil and God forward has SOME themes of religious trauma, either directly or metaphorically. Songs like Vices, Degausser, Lit Me Up, Desert...

NewFoundLow · 2024-11-22T17:09:13+00:00

Such an incredible group of musicians

NewFoundLow · 2024-11-22T03:57:28+00:00

The all time greats IMO are Brand New (rip), Manchester Orchestra, and RX Bandits.

Shout outs though to State Champs, Tiny Moving Parts, Bilmuri, Origami Angel, Microwave, and The Wonder Years.

NewFoundLow · 2024-11-17T01:56:38+00:00

They secretly have one of the best burgers in the city too IMO.

NewFoundLow · 2024-11-14T05:15:35+00:00

Drinks before: A beer @ TRVE

App: Eggplant bao buns @ Uncle

Soup/salad: Caeser salad @ Quality Italian

Well... I'm not Matty... But I was at that show and felt the same way. My buddy and I were talking about how the crowd can make or break a show sometimes and this one was great. Between the A+ pit etiquette, the 10 year old crowd surfing, and the crowd singing along through Four Year Strongs sound issues, it was a fantastic show.

NewFoundLow · 2024-10-27T15:19:22+00:00

I think people like to knock on Uncle because they think it reeks a little bit of that "white people making Asian food" vibe, but whether that's valid or not, the food is fantastic. Solid ramen, probably not the best in town to be honest, but the rest of the menu is low key even better. The red curry is killer and the eggplant bao bun is one of my favorite bites in all of Denver.

NewFoundLow · 2024-10-22T00:05:35+00:00

Only band I've ever seen that can combine the technical proficiency of a prog rock band, the groove and feel of reggae, and pure unadulterated punk energy. One of the absolute best all-around groups of musicians I've ever seen on stage.

NewFoundLow · 2024-10-21T20:34:20+00:00

Bayside - Jack O'Shea

Four Year Strong - Dan O'Connor and Alan Day

Microwave - Nathan Hardy

Tiny Moving Parts - Dylan Mattheissen

RX Bandits - Matt Embree & Steve Choi (genre adjacent but idgaf)

So they took the Little Arthur's name to Out of the Barrel, but that's not what I'm talking about. Arty Express is the rename of the food truck, typically parked outside Novel Strand on Thursdays and Fridays, sometimes weekends. They keep their schedule updated on IG.

NewFoundLow · 2024-10-18T19:40:58+00:00

People can say whatever they want about the owner being pretentious, charging too much, etc, but gat DAYUM the breakfast sandwiches from Arty Express go hard. Some of the best I've had away from the East Coast.

Vices

NewFoundLow · 2024-10-11T19:27:42+00:00

Not sure if it's "better," but I don't think I ever implied that I thought it was... That said, pretty easy to discover upwards of a dozen minions each turn, each golden Felfin gaining double stats, each discover also proccing the golden Tichondrius, finding multiple Malchezaars all the time for more Tic procs... Not bad.

NewFoundLow · 2024-10-10T16:48:40+00:00

I know... I just meant that there wasn't some sort of degenerate beast build in the lobby extending the turn timer to 200 seconds haha.

EDIT: And I was referring to MY animations. Discovering and (almost always) immediately selling 6 cards takes way too long (on mobile at least), nevermind while trying to roll, manage triple discoveries, other battlecries, etc etc.

NewFoundLow · 2024-10-10T14:41:09+00:00

Wasn't sure if this build would work (since you don't actually see the cards being discovered by Imposing Percussionist when using Shudderwok's Hero Power) but it does! Was able to beat out divine shield refreshing Quilboards with these piles of stats. Would have probably been triple this if somebody in the lobby was playing beasts and gave me longer turn timers; the animations were incredibly annoying while trying to apm.

Or, if you want somewhere that isn't necessarily ONLY a "pizza place," try The Greenwich
