Roasted duck nachos are one of the star attractions at Denver’s D Bar restaurant. (William Porter, The Denver Post)
restaurant isn’t exactly part of Silicon Valley, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t know a thing or two about chips.
The Uptown neighborhood restaurant, , has an exemplary nachos plate — and this at a place specializing in dessert.
What makes it special? It’s not just the crispy chips with shredded roasted duck, tart goat cheese, savory black beans and a tangy red salsa. It’s the construction.
One of my pet peeves involves nachos plates that where all the goodies are piled atop the chips. You eat that one layer, then you’re left with, well, just naked chips. D Bar does it the right way. Lay down a tier of chips, then arrange the ingredients on it. Lay down another pile of chips. And again with the goodies. Lather, rinse, repeat. And so on until you crown the plate with that last pile of savory goodness, heavy on the cheese, and run it into the oven for a ultra-quick broil.
So hats off to D Bar for getting nachos right.
