Culinary Traditions in Denver
Denver’s culinary scene is influenced by Indigenous, Mexican, and Western ranch cultures. These traditions combine to create unique menu offerings you can only find in Denver.

Green Chili: Denver puts its spin on chili with green chili. Featuring green chilis (of course), this pork-based dish includes tomatoes and, for some, potatoes.

Rocky Mountain Oysters: Given Denver is landlocked, you’re probably thinking these oysters aren’t local. But this bread and fried concoction is actually bull or bison testicles served with pickles and a spicy sauce.

Bison Burger: Bison burgers taste similar to beef burgers but are slightly sweeter. And with less fat, bison is a healthy alternative to beef.

Elk Dog: Elk dogs are another unique Denver dish, this culinary delight may come with cheese or spicy jalapenos.

Mountain Pie: While Chicago is known for pizza, Denver has mountain pie, which features a thick, fluffy crust.

Denver Omelet: Probably the most famous Denver dish, the Denver Omelet includes eggs, cheddar cheese, ham, bell peppers, and onions.
