100 Favorite Dishes: chocolate caramel sea salt tart from Spuntino
Lori Midson
Suffice it to say that I eat out more than the general population, unless, of course, the general population can catalog more than 450 restaurant meals in a year -- which is about the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that I stomached in 2012. Pathetic, isn't it? But all those food dates are worth the gluttony, because it allows us to tell you where you should eat, a little favor that we started in late 2009, when we embarked on a culinary journey that took us through our favorite dishes in the Mile High City -- 100, to be exact. Now we're back with round three, counting down (in no particular order) 100 more of our favorite dishes in Denver (and Boulder). If there's something particular that you think we need to try, reveal it in the comments section below, or shoot me an e-mail at lori.midson@westword.com.

They may very well be right. I'm not a dessert fiend, and, when it comes to chocolate, I'm annoyingly dismissive. But there's one dessert, where chocolate is front and center, that I absolutely love, and it often makes a guest appearance in my culinary dreams. It's the devil that squats on my shoulder, reminding me, with a wicked smirk, that chocolate is worth the fanfare.
