An iconic local hot dog expert is leading one of the three new concepts inside Denver Milk Market, the popular LoDo food hall.

The big picture: Jim Pittenger, of Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs fame, will serve specialty hot dogs at a new pop-up called Bikers & Bakers Mondays through Saturdays.

As a Saturday special, Pittenger will craft breakfast dishes such as lemon ricotta pancakes, waffles and more out of the market's Lou's Hot & Naked stall.
Bos Butcher & Deli, which serves American fare, and Fuso, an Italian eatery focused on hand-tossed pizzas, are the other new additions to the popular market, with all three opening last week.

The vibe: The entire food hall got a recent facelift, with new tables and chairs, lighting, paint and a fresh mural by Colorado-based artist Graham Carraway titled "Highest Stakes," per a statement from Denver Milk Market.

Flashback: The upgrades follow prominent local chef Frank Bonanno selling the market nearly a year ago to Denver-based Sage Hospitality after sales slumped to roughly half what they were pre-pandemic.

If you go: Let your inner child out in the new game room, which includes Skee-ball, a shuffleboard table, Pac-Man and other games that are free to play.
