MOVE OVER SAN FRANCISCO: If someone were to ask you which Colorado downtown has as many restaurants per capita as San Francisco, your mind would probably flash to Aspen, Boulder, Vail, or, more likely Denver. But you would be wrong. It's Durango.

According to The Denver Post's Wednesday Food Section San Francisco has a restaurant for about every 180 residents; Durango has about 160 per resident. The Post devoted 4 pages, yes we said 4 pages, to covering several Durango establishments. Featured were Chez-Grand-mere, Ken & Sue's, Gazpacho, Seasons, Sushitarian, Mahogany Grill and the Durango Diner. Also the Cyprus Cafe and Jean-Pierre's Bakery and Cafe were critiqued.

While The Post did a terrific job in exposing the culinary side of Durango, they missed a few of our favorites:

** Patio dining at Olde Timers or Carver's Brewing Co.

** Randy's (best prime rib in town)

** Ariano's (wonderful Italian)

** The Palace (try the Chicken & Dumplings)

** Farquarhrts (where to locals go)

** Tequila's (the name says it all)

** Steamworks (have a brew and the cajun boil)

It looks like, in addition to skiing, hiking, fishing, camping, rafting, golfing, etc., we can now add another Durango favorite pastime - Eating!
