Gretchen Kurtz made a French connection this week when she talked to chef Mark Reggiannini about how he went from math major to chef/owner of Cafe Marmotte, one of the city’s up-and-coming French eateries. Mark Antonation chugged his share of Clamato in search of a growing trend in Denver’s Mexican food scene: tangy concoctions of the clam-flavored tomato drink piled high with shrimp, dried beef, fresh veggies and other snack-worthy items.
