I rarely head to Denver- if I am going to go it usually means meeting friends for dinner and the likely-hood of that happening is once every two months.  Boulder spoils me, and I’ve been happy with all my culinary finds thus far. As a result, I rarely make it to Denver for my finer grocery needs.  A  few weeks ago, a friend was telling me about Marczyk’s in Denver claiming it was worth the drive.

Marczyk’s is a full- service grocery store, by which I mean it offers fresh produce, both raw and cured meat, fish, pre-made foods, an entire rack of spices and condiments. And for true one-stop shopping, Marczyk Wines, at the back of the store, will help you select a wine to complement your meal. These folks specialize in naturally raised meats, cheeses from around the world, an unbelievable selection of pantry items (all top of the line ingredients), fresh produce, and a to-go lunch and picnic selection to make you drool.

Marczyk’s exceeded my expectations, the helpful staff is full of knowledge preparing cuts of meat to my liking.  The wonderful variety of European goods is astounding, providing options that aren’t available in your local grocery store.

The trip was worth the hull, and you can bet I didn’t leave Marczky’s empty handed-
