DENVER (KDVR) — If you’re looking for the best dish in Colorado, you might find it among these suggestions.
FOX31 asked viewers in a Facebook post, “What’s your favorite dish in Denver?” with the caption: “It’s your last meal on Earth and you can only choose one dish from a Denver restaurant. What dish and restaurant are you choosing?”
Viewers’ responses trickled in with restaurants spanning across the Front Range with anything from steak to burritos. While each dish varied, a few restaurants stood out as many people’s coveted “last meals.”
Shanahan’s steak
Many viewers mentioned the steak from Shanahan’s Steakhouse in the Hampden South neighborhood. While there wasn’t a specific steak on the menu that was favored over the others, the restaurant has anything from center barrel cut filet mignon to Colorado prime lamb chops.
One viewer particularly liked the restaurant’s old-fashioned drink to go along with the steak.
Seafood from Big Mac & Little Lu’s
Big Mac & Little Lu’s Seafood was another restaurant brought up in the comments, however, viewers couldn’t agree on the best dish. One viewer petitioned for the almond-crusted hogfish, which the restaurant describes as a “hogfish pan seared in an almond crust and covered with our stone crab mustard sauce.”
Meanwhile, other viewers raved about the swordfish, lobster rolls and lobster mac and cheese.
“Being from Florida myself, Big Mac and Little Lu’s is one of the only places in CO I will eat seafood,” commented one viewer.
Burrito from Sam’s No. 3
Sam’s No. 3 serves comfort food all over Denver, and a few viewers particularly liked the burritos. The “sMACdown Burrito,” which comes with chorizo, tater tots and mac and cheese and is topped with “Kickin Green Chili” was a fan favorite.
While there were a few overlapping dishes and restaurants, others named different dishes from around the metro.
Other favorite dishes across the Front Range
Here are some other viewer responses. Note: Some of these dishes may no longer be on the menu.
If you’re looking to try another favorite, The New York Times put together “23 of the Best American Dishes of 2023,” and a Denver restaurant was listed. The hearth bread from Denver’s Brutø was listed as one of the best across the whole country.
Everyone’s favorite dish in Denver varies with taste, but if you’re looking to try what others deem worthy of a “last meal on Earth,” the full list of recommendations can be found on FOX31’s Facebook post.
