While we can’t print what Chef Troy Guard’s new Highland restaurant FNG stands for, we can tell you what to expect.
The culinary rock star behind TAG, Los Chingones and Guard and Grace is opening a rock-inspired restaurant with a comfort-food-with-a-twist menu.
“Rock ‘n’ roll on the speakers and cartoons on the TV,” general manager Sam Haupt said of the concept. “Troy and I were talking about what to do for the next restaurant, and we just wanted to do good food. There are a lot of little boutique restaurants popping up trying to do tricky things. We’re trying to bring it back to what good, classic food is.”
That classic food includes super-creamy mac and cheese, fried bologna sliders, rabbit green chili, chicken-fried steak, house-made sausages and an incredible-looking salted caramel pie. The menu is pretty long and ambitious, and, outside of some specials and the fresh catch of the day, nothing goes for more than $16.
“We want it to be a neighborhood spot,” Haupt said.
If you’re into classic rock albums on the walls, giant KISS cardboard cut-outs and $6.50 burgers (yes, $6.50 burgers in a trendy Denver neighborhood!), then you’ll probably want to make it your neighborhood spot, whether you live nearby or not.
FNG opened on Dec. 1.
