About
Opened just this past August in Five Points, this distinctive eatery (named after a mythical shapeshifting creature of swamp lore) hopped right onto Westword’s List of “3 Must Trys” as well as its list of “10 Best Rooftops in Denver.” McLain Hedges and Mary Allison Wright, the creative forces behind Yacht Club (which Esquire named as one of the best bars in the country) are joined by Mary Allison’s brother, Executive Chef John David Wright, formerly of Hop Alley and Door Prize, to bring diners a menu that they like to think of as “shapeshifting Southern.” That means dishes like “chicken on a stick,” with pepper jelly, blue cheese tart with green tomato and pickles, hot & sour catfish, blackened trout, grits & grillades, and pork chop with rhubarb and charred cabbage. The restaurant is set inside a building whose interior décor resembles that of a house in a bygone bayou.
