Biscuits the size of your head, made from scratch every morning, stuffed with fried chicken or smothered in sausage gravy. It's not subtle. It's not trying to be. DBC is a hangover cure, a celebration meal, and a reason to skip every other breakfast in the city. The line is real and it moves fast. Get in it.

Insider tip

The Franklin — buttermilk fried chicken, honey, and a biscuit that could anchor a meal by itself.

The Wolf's Tailor
EatRiNo

The Wolf's Tailor

A grain-forward restaurant from a former Frasca chef that mills its own flour and bakes some of the most extraordinary bread in Colorado. The pasta is hand-pulled and the whole operation runs on a quiet obsession with ancient grains and fermentation. It's ambitious without being fussy, and every plate has a story rooted in the dirt it came from.

Beckon
EatRiNo

Beckon

A hidden tasting-menu restaurant tucked behind Call, its casual sibling. You walk through what looks like a normal restaurant and end up in a 22-seat room where chef Duncan Holmes serves one of the most inventive prix fixe meals between the coasts. It feels like a secret because it basically is one. Denver's most ambitious kitchen, operating in near-silence.

Hotel Clio
StayHighland

Hotel Clio

A luxury property at the edge of Cherry Creek that feels more like a well-connected friend's penthouse than a hotel. The rooftop pool has unobstructed mountain views, the rooms are clean-lined and warm, and the service walks the line between attentive and invisible. It's the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever stayed downtown.

EatThe Gulch · Nashville, Tennessee

Lyra

A Middle Eastern restaurant from the Husk team that brings the same obsessive sourcing and technique to a completely different cuisine. The hummus is silky, the lamb kebabs are smoky and tender, and the pita comes puffy and warm from a wood-fired oven. The dining room is dramatic — soaring ceilings, an open hearth — and the energy matches.

EatOld Town · Chicago, Illinois

Portillo's

A Chicago institution that breaks the no-chains rule because it started here and it belongs here. The Italian beef — dipped, with hot giardiniera — is the canonical Chicago sandwich, and the chocolate cake shake is an act of joyful excess. The neon-lit dining room is loud and chaotic and perfect. This is fast food elevated to civic identity.
