National Food TV Shows

Shows like Food Paradise, Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives, and Best Thing I Ever Ate have been pretty good about featuring Colorado restaurants over the years.

Colorado Food Scene

Many of the shows on the Food Network focus on restaurants in the Denver area but not always. You must admit, it's an area with some amazing restaurants that love to focus on dishes with green chili. Restaurants in the mile-high city love to offer burgers, Rocky Mountain oysters, street tacos, and just about anything else you might want to eat.
