Where to get your freedom fries in Denver
Next week, an estimated 70,000 out-of-towners are expected to descend on Denver, Colorado for the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Thousands of political activists will arrive hungry for change and hungry for dinner. And what better appetizer than the official food of American politics: freedom fries. (But they're still called French Fries everywhere outside of the Capitol building.)
Denver Westword has just announced its 2008 Best Of Denver awards, including the category for Best French Fries in the city. The winner is Encore Restaurant located at 2550 E. Colfax Avenue. Encore's eclectic menu features mid- to high-end American fare, including the townspeople's favorite fries: "perfectly cooked, heavily salted shoestrings that are unbelievably addictive - particularly hit with a drizzle of spicy mustard that's just one step (heat-wise) below that stuff you get in Chinese restaurants and about ten times more delicious than a squirt of French's could ever be," according to Westword.

I know its a bit out of the way for the normal convention goer but I highly, highly, highly recomend Wing Wagon in the foothills town of Conifer. It's a beautiful drive up 285, and the food is worth it. More then just wings they have weekly specials and a full range of sandwiches, but really they shine at hot wings, and when I say hot I mean hot. Ask for an order of suicide wings and you will be begging for water. Plus the place is owned and operated by a local family who are very friendly. Definetly worth the time and the drive! Take 285 till you get to Aspen Park, take a right when you get to the Loaf and Jug then a quick left onto the frontage road. They are in the building at the top of the hill.
