Bonanno's Bones

Bones is this Chef-Extraordinaire's nickname, the name of his newest Denver restaurant featuring eclectic noodle dishes and food geek starters, and in my mind Bones is the metaphor for what Frank Bonanno is all about - substance and flavors that leave memories.

Do you remember what you had for lunch last Wednesday? I don't, but there's no forgetting the flavor of that broth in the Poached Lobster Ramen with Red Miso, or the meek and glorious perfection of that bone marrow starter. Bones is not done justice with descriptions like Asian Fusion, no this is like a jungle gym where all the foodie kids can come to play without getting gussied up, down to the bar rags they use for napkins. The first thing I did after getting home from eating at Bones Restaurant was to make reservations for next week. One tip, the secret is out on this place, if you're in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and want to pop in, do it between 5-5:30. Oh yah, and the team is top notch, friendly, professional, courteous, and attentive.
