The Work Today
At Fox and the Hen in Denver, Carrie Baird is working a menu that treats comfort food as a place for technical play. Beef stroganoff made with Rocky Mountain oysters and short rib fancy toast sit alongside the kind of plate that can turn on a single detail, which is why she could point to the top of the French onion soup as the part worth calling out.
