For the past eighteen years, Westword has hosted its Dish event and in 2012, we're looking forward to an even more delicious celebration of the metro dining scene. On Thursday, September 6, Westword's Dish, presented by Stella Artois, will fill Sculpture Park outside the Denver Performing Arts Complex with music, cocktails and delectable dishes from more than forty of Cafe Society's favorite restaurants. Without giving away all of this year's secrets, 2012's lineup is slated to include Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs, Café|Bar, Comida, The Corner Office Restaurant + Martini Bar, Crimson Canary, Crock Spot, El Taco de Mexico, Fire on the Mountain, Interstate Kitchen & Bar, Juicy Burgers & Dogs, Manneken Frites, Rooster & Moon Coffee Pub, Sexy Pizza, Tony's Market and more!

On the heels of last year's first-ever curated event, our Cafe Society writers have been eating, drinking and reviewing their way through Denver for months to compile the invitation list. From sushi to food trucks, pasta to pastries, this year's Dish will be bigger, bolder and tastier than ever.
