You know how Denver is a foodie haven? Well, Root Down is a local gourmet restaurant that specializes in responsibly grown, local, seasonal food, served with hospitality. I've never been to one of their restaurants downtown, so when I found out that they're located in DIA's C terminal, I hopped on over here and started with a spicy Bloody Mary, my travel (and brunch) drink of choice.
Their morning menu is classic brunch style, offering choices of breakfast or lunch. I was torn. I sipped my spicy goodness and pondered, deciding upon the Southern BBQ Eggs Benedict: Medium poached eggs atop slow roasted pork, chard, caramelized onions and a cornbread base. Served with home fries that are a mixture of regular potatoes and sweet potatoes, and a side of lemon arugula greens. Yes, please!!
The environment is nice and relatively spacious and welcoming considering that it's tucked into a very busy airport terminal. I've seen the line stretching out the door and around the corner before, so I was prepared to wait, but I got right in. Probably because I was only a party of one and it was 11:00 a.m. I think I was in between rush hours but it was still pretty busy. And the service was friendly, prompt, and helpful. I was impressed!
One of my favorite views: into the glass of spicy deliciousness.
I'm excited to experience a new city and state: Madison, Wisconsin! Lucy is excited to have bachelor nights with daddy, complete with pizza deliveries and nerdy sci fi television shows. I kissed her goodbye this morning and she was grooming before I could even get out the door. <<sigh>>
Aaaand a lil something for the road. I mean, for the air. Cookies and Cream caramel apple.
See you soon, from the land of cheese and beer and my nephew crazy cat and my peeps! A 2-hour flight is nothing after the DEN-TOKYO flight of late. Bunichiwa!
