Mere mortals rarely enjoy the lavish, multi-course meals typical of royalty, but when the Broadway production of SIX announced its engagement in Denver, the DCPA’s restaurant partners got to work concocting mouth-watering dishes fit for…in this case…six queens. The following are their dishes to die for.

Normally “towers” are saved for castles, but not when it comes to The Royal Grand Seafood Tower. Towering above your table with five levels of seafood, this meal is sure to be a royal feast. Featuring North American Coldwater Lobster, Alaska King Crab, Beausoleil Oysters, Colossal Gulf Shrimp and a caviar flight with Calvisius Black Pearl, Kaluga and Royal Osetra, this presentation by Chef Dan Larson and Sous-Chef Owen Cardwell is spectacular.

Bragging Rights: This feast weighs in at 5.5 pounds of lobster and crab plus 3 caviar options, 1 dozen oysters, and 15 shrimp.

Executive Chef David Perry had a bit of fun at the expense of King Henry VIII’s queens, several of whom met an unfortunate end. He’s serving up the SixX (as in six ex-wives) cocktail, which is a spicy margarita made with tequila, amaretto, agave, lime juice and pitted cherries. Sip on that over dinner and finish your meal with his special Death by Chocolate dessert, a black forest chocolate cake made with deep dark chocolate cake, cherries and Chantilly cream.

Bragging Rights: Located just across the street from the entrance to the Arts Complex, The Corner Office regularly mixes up specialty cocktails and menu items themed to a show. Make sure to ask what current inspiration they are cooking up.

When asked what dish he would serve to the royals, Executive Sous Chef Alec Bruno recommended Eggs Drumkilbo.

“This royal dish was particularly favored by the Queen Mother [Queen Elizabeth II’s mother],” said Bruno. “Oeufs Drumkilbo was a regular dish served on Britannia and has appeared on the wedding menus of many royals. Served as a cold appetizer, it contains Lobster, Shrimp, Sherry or Madeira, Eggs, Mayo, and Ketchup.” While Eggs Drumkilbo is not on the menu at Edge, try their Croque Madame during brunch before the matinee.

Bragging Rights: Casually mention that you got the recipe from Buckingham Palace.

Far from your typical steak and potatoes, Executive Sous Chef Eric Wepfer dishes up an extraordinary gastrointestinal feast. He will serve a 28-ounce dry aged-Porterhouse. “This esteemed steak composed of the filet and strip grilled on the bone is the king of steaks!” enthused Wepfer. “Share this decadent cut around the king’s table, topped with signature sauces and butters fired tableside completed with truffle mac & cheese and crispy bacon brussels sprouts. This is the perfect dish to make a QUEEN happy.”
