Southwestern - Jack N Grill (25th & Federal) - New Mexican Style, fantastic burritos and green chile, surprisingly good burgers.
Steak/Meat - The Fort (Morrison, CO) - Not the best 'steakhouse'. But seems to be a sort of iconic Denver place. Alternately, the Buckhorn Exchange (10th and Osage), where I tend to think the food is a bit better.
I'm not sure what else I can think of that would be a 'Denver' meal, though there are plenty of other fantastic restaurants in the city. Fruition does farm-to-table pretty well, I love Mizuna, Domo does the best Japanese food in town (ignore anyone who thinks Sushi Den is better... sort of kidding :P)...

Wait, 'can' or 'have to'? I had to go back a few months ago for a work thing... The food was still pretty inedible, outside of the sopapillas. The odder thing was trying to match my memories from friends' birthday parties (from all of 20 years ago) to what I was seeing as an adult. Funny how few things matched to what I remembered, even though the place seems to have barely changed.

Yes, I am serious. Even though they are around the country, I don't see any advantage to visiting Elway's. IMO, they are overpriced, and the food quality is bit poor.

I have never tried Morton's though I was under the impression that they were higher priced then Elways. I always equated Mortons to Ruth's Chris since they were both chains. Am I wrong?
