New spots to eat and drink in Denver
Texas-style barbecue. Middle Eastern fare. Scandinavian coffee. The big picture: Denver's food and drink scene continues to evolve with new openings across the city and flavors from around the world. Here are six to know: 🍖 At Riot BBQ, chef Manny Barella, a "Top Chef" alum, and pitmaster Patrick Klaiber are serving up a fusion of Texas-style barbecue and northern Mexico's asado traditions. The new Overland joint — located in the former AJ's Pit Bar-B-Q space — is getting rave reviews. 🇾🇪 Yemen Grill & Cafe has expanded from Aurora to Denver's University neighborhood, bringing authentic Middle Eastern flavors with a focus on Yemeni cuisine. The baba ganoush is a must. 🇳🇵 Mantra Cafe opened its doors at 1147 Broadway, offering a cozy spot for Nepali and Indian dishes, including momos, fusion platters and a wide range of vegetarian options. 🥪 Mendocino Farms, a fast-casual restaurant founded in Southern California, made its Colorado debut in Cherry Creek North, where it offers chef-driven sandwiches and salads. ☮️ Green Bus Cafe transitioned from a mobile coffee operation to a '70s-themed brick-and-mortar cafe in the Whittier neighborhood serving up specialty coffee and plant-based gluten-free goods. ☕️ Kaffe Åre (oar-eh) is a Scandinavian-inspired, New York City-based coffee shop that recently debuted in Denver's Highland neighborhood. It serves coffee and smoothies along with house-baked pastries and freshly made sandwiches in an open, sunlit space. The intrigue: The Brown Palace, now under new management, has launched Le Palais Frites — a new dining experience offering an "inventive twist on traditional French flavors" through a three-course prix fixe menu for $49. What's next: Vegan restaurant Gladys — a spot we absolutely love — is scheduled to reopen in a bigger, newly built space inside Edgewater Public Market on July 14.

Nearly 2,000 commercial vehicles stopped during chain enforcement: CSP
DENVER (KDVR) — Nearly 2,000 commercial motor vehicles were contacted during a 14-week multi-agency chain law enforcement operation, according to the Colorado State Patrol. CSP released details of the operation — which ended earlier this week — on Friday. Chain laws are in effect in Colorado from Sept. 1 through May 31. DHS lists these CO areas as 'sanctuary jurisdictions' Multiple agencies took part in the operation, including the CSP, the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office, the Idaho Springs Police Department, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, the Lakewood Police Department, the Parachute Police Department and the Vail Police Department. 'We commend the efforts of all participating agencies who worked together to ensure the safety of our mountain corridors through this enforcement season. Their ongoing partnership and commitment to public safety continue to make a difference on Colorado roadways,' the CSP said in a news release. According to the CSP, the chain law enforcement operation resulted in: 852 passenger vehicle contacts 450 passenger vehicle speeding citations 737 passenger vehicle citations 1,997 commercial vehicle contacts 129 commercial vehicle 'must carry' citations According to the CSP, in Colorado, a commercial vehicle with a gross combination weight rating of 16,001 pounds or more must carry four snow chains or 'adequate traction devices' on it from Sept. 1 to May 31 if they are traveling on: Interstate 70 west of milepost 259 (Morrison) Colorado Highway 9 milepost 63 to milepost 97 (Frisco to Fairplay) Route 40 west of milepost 256 (Empire) U.S. Route 50 west of milepost 225 (Salida) U.S. Route 160 west of MP 250 (Morrison) U.S. Route 550 from milepost 0 to 130 (State line south of Durango to Montrose) New barbeque joint opening in place of shuttered AJ's Pit Bar-B-Q Passenger vehicles also must have adequate tires and chains 'when weather conditions warrant,' according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. CDOT said it will implement traction law for passenger vehicles during winter storms or 'when conditions require,' noting that it can enforce both vehicle traction and chain laws 'on any state highway.' Motorists who drive with inadequate chains and/or tires when a traction or chain law is in effect can receive a fine in excess of $130, according to CDOT, which said a motorist could also end up being fined more than $650 if they were to block a roadway due to inadequate equipment when the laws are in effect.
