Last week I was visiting Colorado. I spent a few days Denver and Boulder. Who would have known the food could be so spectacular.Sushi Den was my favorite place in Denver. Michael Meyers, CTO of the Examiner took me there. Whatever Michael asked for the sushi chef did it right or should I say omakase. Michael knows his sushi and tell all about best sushi places worldwide.

There were unusual combinations of fish, spices, and sauces. Fresh delicious and through provoking are some adjectives that come to mind.

See for yourself!

I recommend the Smoke Goat Cheese salad – sweet and refreshing. The sea scallops were delicious. It was the chocolate mousse cake that sent me on my way smiling.Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse. This a lovely place for afternoon tea or the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. A wonderful variety of teas I tried the Lady Grey, and Jen had an exotic tea, white jasmine moon which blossomed before our eyes. It was a delightful surprise. For entrée I had the Persian pomegranate pan seared salmon in a pomegranate reduction, black rice, roasted beets and carrots, and microgreens which was extraordinary. Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is truly a restaurant that must be experienced while in Boulder! I will surely be back!

It’s so nice that Boulder restaurant owners take into consideration all dietary concerns by including soy or rice milk options.

Speaking of tea I couldn’t resist visiting Celestial Seasonings – full disclosure I worked on Celestial Seasonings’ strategy for the agency I worked for – I was thrilled to the have Celestial Seasonings as a client – I grew up drinking Celestial Seasoning. I helped create the Facebook strategy for

Unfortunately, I was late for the tour but spent time sampling teas in the tea lounge and the gift shop is very impressive! Hain is the corporation which own Celestial Seasonings I buy most of their projects because of the natural ingredients. That why I love Celestial Seasonings! Next I will take the tour when I’m back in town — hopefully I’ll be moving to CO permanently.

To sum up my adventure dining in Denver and Boulder is like skiing in Aspen and Vail — AWESOME! and I know I’m going to love Colorado! I’ll be there soon.

I enjoyed a lovely day in North Brook, IL with Elaine Paque and Jeremy Lieb. We had dinner at Kamehachi. This is the Wonderful Maki…it lives up to its name.

Roberto, the sushi chef created this Maki masterpiece. He made about a dozen while we were sitting at the sushi bar. I enjoyed watching him use a torch to carmelize the crab on top of the roll. Then he sprinkled potato shaving to dress the Wonderful Maki. It’s delicious!

Taneko Japanese Tavern in Scottsdale AZ. I had dinner with Maria Radloff and Laurel Petriello. We loved the warm chocolate cake. The special taneko california roll is yummy. The tofu appetizer is great. Its a good place to go for appetizers and cocktails.

For dinner, we met up with a few friends at haru a japanese cuisine place.Inside the decorations were awsome. If you like sushi this place is a must go place. And if your not there is much more to order.

RA Sushi is good food in a pinch. I found the dining experience to be a bit disappointing, perhaps it was an off day or I was tired. I spent the majority of the day enjoying my walk around the Las Vegas strip and wanted a friendly sit down environment with great food.

It took the hostess a couple of minutes to realize I needed to be seated when I walk in. It wasn’t busy at 5p.m. The music was extremely loud, but everything in Las Vegas is extremely loud. I had to ask for the complementary hand towel. I just felt because I was alone I wasn’t worth the time and effort. Believe me I’m a great tipper when I have a great dining experience.

My order consisted of Seaweed Salad, which was on the citrus side but very refreshing. California Roll ok nothing too exciting. Eel a little burnt on the edges. The Philadelphia Roll, consisting of smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber hit the spot. The sushi chef was pleasant and amusing. I always compare sushi chefs to the one at The Original IchiBan Japanese Sushi Bar & Restaurant in Tempe, Arizona. He’s engaging, puts on a great show that’s so much fun, and always buys the house a round of sake bombers. His sushi is out of this world. Imagine in Tempe?

RA an ok place to go in Las Vegas, and has other locations in Phoenix, Chicago, San Diego, Tucson, and Houston.
