What began as an opportunity to verbally release my road rage through restaurant reviews is now evolving into something a little less furious and a little more thoughtful, thanks to Jesse Livingston. I will carry on with my mission to Murder She Wrote the shit out of Denver's food and drink scene and Jesse will provide thorough and rousing reviews of television and film. Get ready because this is about to ball so hard.

Lou's Food Bar - Guess who totally got raptured this weekend!
Lou's represents everything I have ever wanted in a happy hour. I have never felt so free and vibrant and should I die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take.... on down to Lou's and leave it there for eternity.
How do I love thee, Let me count the ways.
1) Best happy hour food in Denver - by far, possibly America but I am only one lady with no jet pack so I will stick with the best of Denver for now.
Apparently, the happy hour food is not served on Saturdays - but our waiter was not aware of this until after we ordered so he gave it to us anyway. I am going to name my firstborn son Waiter or whatever his name was.
2) Best cocktail happy hour in Denver - Aside from beer they have a pretty extensive list of super glam cocktails for $5. I tried my friend's moscow mule which I normally hate because I don't like ginger beer but the ginger in this ginger beer was noticeably fresh and gorgeous and I will do anything for Lou's from now on.
3) Crabcake - In general the crabcake is up on my list of the most overrated crappetizers - so often dry and tasteless - but this was somehow creamy and rich and delicate and subtle and elegant and beautiful and my first bite began my hour long ascencion into the rapture of deliciousness.
4) Escargot - Dear Jesus, thanks for making snails. I cannot wait to eat them again in heaven. (Not on the happy hour menu but made my hour super happy).
5) Pork Sliders - I know I have said that I disapprove of the slider with all of my being because I don't eat at White Castle for a REASON, but, a little pulled pork plus a little fancy slaw equals whatever the spankbank version of fantasizing about food would be.
Anyway, I am boring myself at this point, so I will say this. Lou's raptured my brains out and I feel confident saying this is by far the best happy hour in the city limits of the Denver. The food is far superior to any other hh and at these crazy discounted prices - you would be an idiot not to love it. I If you don't like this place there is nothing I can do for you so please move to another city.
