Mondaysmight just be our new favorite day of the week.
The latest: MAKfam — a knockout, fast-casual Chinese restaurant on South Broadway whose head chef was named a semifinalist for the 2024 James Beard Awards — announced it's now serving its mà lá mozzarella sticks all day on Mondays.
They were previously only available during weekday happy hour from 2-5pm. (Staff tell us the stix will remain on the menu during those times, too.)
Why it matters: This addicting appetizer is unlike any other around Denver thanks to its mixture of mozzarella cheese with mà lá, a spicy and numbing seasoning that comes from Sichuan peppercorn and chili.
🤤 My thought bubble: I have literally rearranged my day to make it over to MAKfam in time to snag these during happy hour — they're that good.
Don't forget to dip them into the house-made Thai basil ranch for the ultimate balanced bite.
