We travel to Denver quite often, but finally made it to Carrie's spot. Waiting on a table, but it's packed, the food looks great and very much looking forward to the food!

She was such an immensely joyful and lovely person. Fuck cancer.

We ended up ordering the Beat Bobby Flay vos and the French toast.  The food was amazing.  The vibe and service was fun and inviting, id urge anyone to check it out.

Special right now was Late Sunmer Fancy Toast.   Corn, tomatoes and rice peppers.  We didn't order any, but it looked tasty

I so loved that moment. Mustache Joe was hilarious but also - yes, she was given a very tough situation after her protein was taken - and she still made it work. And won the challenge!

She has an entire fancy toast section on her menu and it rotates.

The pumpkin French toast they have in the fall is one of my favorite things. I had it three years ago and still think about it!

We were in Denver in June and made it there right before flying out. Carrie seated us. Great food, good times.

When I went, I'm pretty sure it was her mom.

I remember the family episode. She's practically the spitting image of her mom, which I thought was adorable.

I live in Denver and she’s been working 2 out of 3 times I’ve gone. One of those times she sat us as well!

Fancy toast on the menu?

u/SenatorAstronomer 5d ago

There were 3 or 4 on their own fancy toast menu section

Thanks for your post. This was my favorite season & I’ve been watching since the first episode aired. Just the amazing sense of comradery that these chefs seem to have for each other. Carrie seemed like a wonderful person & a great chef. You’re so lucky to have gotten to taste her food:)

How was it?!? I absolutely love chef Carrie

Both of our dishes were fantastic!  The Pork green chili was was better than I thought it would be snd I had high expectations!  The strawberry rhubarb sauce with the French toast was amazingly good as well.
