BY MIGUEL OTÁROLA, @MOTAROLA_EATS

This newsletter may not be the Spotify Wrapped in your phone notifications, nor the blanket of white snow that greeted many in the Front Range this morning. Maybe that's why it's called Stuffed. Even though you've had enough, there is always room for more. Especially if they're the gifts, spirits and treats we're talking about in here. Dig in.

beef stroganoff plate

Riviera Supper Club and Scratch Kitchen

For the final installment in my "mountain edition" of eating recommendations, I'm revisiting the first meal I had during a recent visit to Glenwood Springs. The Riviera Supper Club and Scratch Kitchen is named so for its prime location on the banks of the Colorado River. Its menu consists of meat entrees and vegetarian options, such as garden pasta, beef Wellington, and lasagna. I opted for the beef stroganoff, a rich and tender plate of Colorado beef, mushrooms, onions and linguine tossed in a brandy cream sauce, topped with pickled red onion and served with a slice of garlic bread. Though the plating could have been better, the dish was prepared fantastically. It's the kind of hearty Alpine food the mountain region knows all too well.
