Take Away / Take Out Food Finds in Denver

When it comes to reviewing culinary experiences, most of what you're likely to see here will be places where you can find a dining experience. But sometimes the urge for quick sustinance can reveal great food without the fuss. Below are a few that are on my list when I'm not thinking about volatile food component flavor pairings and just need to eat or feed the crew at work or home. I remember being a bachelor living with a couple buddies, and we'd debate who deserved to be on The List; seldom would a place be good enough to earn a spot on the list. The house rule was that if any one of us was going to somewhere on the list, we had to bring back enough for everyone. What follows is my current list, and a few new or noteworthy finds that deserve a look.

The List - Favorite Take Out Places (Favorite Dishes)
- Bonnie Brae Tavern (#5 pizza)
- Jerusalem Restaurant (baba ganoush, gyro plate)
- Salvaggio's Deli (prosciutto sandwich)
- Bova's (sausage sandwich)
- Pat's (cheese steak)
- Yazoo's BBQ (ribs)
- Bagel Deli (bagels)
- Santiago's (breakfast burritos)
- My Brother's Bar (JCB Burger)
- Tamale Kitchen (various texmex)

Up and Comers - Worth a look
