Back in early December, I saw on Facebook that an On the Hook fish and chips food truck was parking itself on the south end of Durango. My interest was piqued.
Sure, Durango has a wide variety of places to eat, but any time someone wants to add something new to the mix, I’m on board. Unfortunately, I got distracted —...
What pairs great with booze? If you’ve got a sweet tooth, might we suggest honey?
That’s the philosophy up at Honey House Distillery in Hermosa. The legally-distinct-but-part-of-the-family spirit-makers are part of the bee-spit-based enterprise up at Honeyville.
While everyone else was celebrating the end of World...
The Union Social House — a bar, gallery, and food truck-based eatery — opened in late December on north Main Avenue in Durango.
According to The Durango Herald, longtime Durango events planner Carol Clark created it as a “vintage game house,” providing a space for parents to have a casual drink, while their children...

DGO would like to note that we reviewed the Antique Corral before news broke of its sale of reproductions of segregation-era racist signs and other disturbing memorabilia.I’ll be the first one to admit that I don’t spend much time antiquing. When it comes to furniture and the like, you’re...
When it comes to inventive local beers, it’s no secret that we at DGO love the WildEdge Brewing Collective in Cortez.
Because of the ever-changing tap list, every visit seems to present a variety of new brews waiting to be tried. So, while visiting with some Montezuma County friends and colleagues recently, I decided to...
The Columbine Bar in Mancos is a collection of artifacts from bygone eras. Like some sort of hidden cove, it looks like it has been collecting cultural relics for decades.
The bar, which according to the plaque outside opened in 1910 (contradicting a painted sign inside dating it to 1903), is one of the oldest bars in...
Update: The owners of Millwood Junction closed the restaurant on Dec. 23. They are currently hoping to sell it.The first thing you notice when you walk into Millwood Junction in Mancos is all the wood (presumably from a mill?). The building is so very, very ... wooden, inside and out. If...
The Four Corners has some pretty fantastic food – but it’s far from all-inclusive. To get certain tastes and cuisines, you have to take a bit of a drive.
East African cuisine, for instance, is hard to find on Colorado’s Western Slope. However, there are a couple places to find it in the Albuquerque-Santa Fe area. One of...
If you wanted to paint a colorful metaphor and say popcorn flows through Jack Pepper’s veins, you wouldn’t be far off. He and partner Chandler Sommerfeldt just opened the Durango Popcorn Depot on the corner of sixth and Fifth Street and Main Avenue in Durango.
Before they moved to Durango last summer, Pepper was part of...
Did you know that Farmington has a Thai barbecue place?
I didn’t – but then again up until recently, I hadn’t really explored the city’s downtown area. I’ve always been content shopping among the chains and big box stores on the northeastern side of town, venturing further south on trips to specifically visit Three...
If you’ve walked through downtown Durango around lunchtime between October and May, you’ve probably noticed the cheesesteak guy.
Tom Corrado’s stand, located these days in the parking lot of the Elks Lodge on Ninth Street and East Second Avenue, might not look like anything to write home about. But fans of regional fast...
