While experimenting during Denver Restaurant Week, Corcoran and her family have found some restaurants they go back to now over and over.

"Root Down, they're always a favorite. And last year they were fantastic for Restaurant Week," Corcoran explained.

"I love that they're including more and more restaurants every year. When it started out, there were just a few restaurants that were participating. It was a lot of fun, but you had a limited selection. Now, there's so many, it takes like more than an hour to go through all the menus and figure out which places we want to go to."
