2. The Pork.let
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungryin honor of #nationalcheeseloversday we’re ditching the classic pizza, mac, mozz sticks and grilled cheese shots for this hidden gem — @the_pork.let ! They’re stuffing their pork tonkatsu with tons of cheese 🧀
•
This spot in Aurora specializes in tonkatsu which reminds us of fried chicken but with way more crunch. They use fresh bread to make the bread crumb mixture and it resembles the beautiful crunch of a crostini.
•
It’s a family owned shop that just opens and definitely welcomes anyone that is in the mood for some extra cheese on this special day.
•
Comment the restaurant with the best cheese dish!!
3. Stanley Marketplace
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungry🌮 Taco Tuesday 🌮 is just the start of the festivities at @stanleymarketplace this week! We’re screaming for the Día De Los Muertos 💀 celebration at @comida ! Pictures of loved one can find a home on their alter with a margarita on the house to cheers with after.
•
This week is meant for celebrating, we we started out with some tacos — like we do every week! Their rad renditions of tacos have creamy sweet potato mash to hold in smokey carne asada and their stewed barbacao. A coastal favorite features their battered shrimp with crunch and crema. We love a large selection and we can’t be bored when this surf board greets us with tasty tacos!
•
Tortilla tuesday can be a thing as we devour their enchilada stacks and pressed tacos with cheese pulls! What comida has you celebrating? 💥
4. Town Center at Aurora
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungryit might only be Wednesday but we’re ready to wrap up the work week and get into the weekend tomfoolery 😅 since we aren’t there yet we @tomfoolery303 from the @piratechef8 to get us feeling like we are! His food is a major mash up and brings together funky flavors from all over. East london slang says tomfoolery means jewelry, and this place is a total gem 💎
•
The Ruby Murry is definitely a diamond addition to the menu. It may look like a simple pita but all the components are thoughtfully put together. The chicken thighs give it more tenderness than just a chicken breast and once it soaks in the buttermilk curry marinade it’s tender like steak. The spice comes through first but the cooling cucumber and cilantro yogurt come in next. The fluffy pita soaks in the juices and sauce but holds everything in tight.
•
From burgers to tacos, pitas and bao, @piratechef8 isn’t fooling around by any means. He’s wrapping all his favorites into one spot!

5. Town Center at Aurora
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungryOur moms used to make us @tostinos pizza rolls 🍕 but thankfully @mumshouse303 has ones leaving @tostinos rolling in their grave 😂
•
This makes for the ultimate cross between cinnamon rolls and pizza. Instead of buttery cinnamon stuffing these swirls, there’s the burst of bright tomato sauce, strands of molten cheese in the middle — with a crispy cheese crust around the outside — and the huge circles of pepperonis never to get lost. The pillowy dough makes it feel like a slice of pizza was rolled up to make this.
•
@mumshouse303 brings a nostalgic note back to the food scene by making dishes we all know but of course this is 2.0.
•
What’s your mum’s best recipe?MileHigh andHungrythere’s GNO(cchi) way we’re eating our 💚greens💚without @naughtycarrot303 bringing vegetable focused food to our table! Rather than solely selling salad @naughtycarrot303 cares about making nothing less than exciting eats.
•
The gnocci pillows are just that! Each cloud is soft but we love the final toast in the pan to give the outside a nice crust. These little dumplings get paired with leeks and mushrooms, reminding us of a riff on mushroom risotto combo. The mushrooms are roasted and meld well with the caramelized leeks. This bright dish has a pea puree to add to the vibrance in both plating and taste. A dish like this gets a final dusting of freshly grated parm and then it’s ready to be devoured.
•
Among their menu is a teriyaki stir fry with the crunch of radish and edamame to contrast the light jasmine rice. We are left saying wow after one bite of the sweet chili bao!

6. Milkroll Rolled Ice Cream
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungrywe need🔥 s’more 🔥 summery days spent with @milkrollcreamery ! The cold rain has us thinking about everything we love about the warm weather, like enjoying a frozen treat. An ice cream cone is one thing but these rolls are rockin 🤘🏽
•
@milkrollcreamery redefines smashing ice cream on a cold stone, they take the ice cream base and mixins onto a frozen plate to make ice cream instantly. It’s like hibachi but with ice cream, each methodical and careful movement gets the treat ready to be rolled.
•
Each roll is thin enough that it melts quickly and has such a smooth texture. The rolls are cool on their own, but the magic of this place continues. Each flavor gets a signature swirl of whip cream and then they keep growing.
•
The s’mores gets teddy grahams and crushed graham cracker — the s’mores foundation, a drizzle of chocolate sauce as if the chocolate was melted by the campfire, chocolate pocky candy and a torched mallow 🤤
•
What ice cream flavor do you roll with?

7. The Halal Guys
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungry🙌🏽HOLLA 🙌🏽 at the new guys in town @thehalalguys has been expanding their NYC street corner cart into restaurant around the country! We are psyched to have them in Colorado instead of having to make it all the way east for an awesome bite.
•
It began with 3 Egyptian founders that ditched the dogs 🌭 for halal food—gyro, chicken, falafel platters and pita wraps. Cabbies were their first supports but now all kinds of Americans dig in (like us 😋)
•
The spits rotating in back hold a combination of beef and lamb or even meatless gyros. Sliced up and put over their fluffy rice or held inside of a pillowy pita is what their best at.
•
As simple as it may be, the white sauce is all we want to see. It’s basically halal ranch and we’re here for it.
•
They’ve been around the NYC block a time or two but their fresh to Aurora. Have you made it yet?
