After months of anticipation, the Michelin Guide will announce on Sept. 12 which Colorado restaurant or restaurants have received the state’s first-ever Michelin star.But restaurants in Aurora, which has one of Colorado’s best and most diverse dining scenes, won’t be on the list, according to Michelin Guide spokesman Andrew Festa. That’s because the company that owns the guide has made it clear that its anonymous reviews have stuck only to Denver, Boulder, Aspen, Snowmass Village, Vail and Beaver Creek Resort.That’s a state of affairs that has disappointed and irritated Caroline Glover, the owner and chef at Annette, which is located inside the Stanley Marketplace in Aurora.

He’s become the story of training camp, at least as far as surprises go.It’s hard to say what the split of playing time and touches will be mostly because there’s really only one way to find out how Williams holds up in returning to regular-season play. His recovery has been nothing short of remarkable, but there’s no guarantee he’s going to get 15-18 carries every week and bounce back normally each time.The next question becomes whether Sean Payton and the Broncos think McLaughlin is a nice piece who can provide a...
