What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

On 'Sauced,' Food Network's restaurant listing credits host Claire Robinson with featuring Colt and Gray's sticky toffee pudding with bourbon ice cream, made by adding the toffee sauce to the dish three times, along with the restaurant's blue-cheese-dusted gougeres as a savory starter. Colt and Gray was a New American restaurant at 1553 Platte St. in Denver's Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhood, a stretch of Platte Street known for its concentration of restaurants and bars just northwest of downtown Denver. A Yelp listing updated in May 2026 marks the restaurant as closed, and a Denver nightlife site, Mile High Happy Hour, separately lists Colt and Gray among the market's closed bars and restaurants at the same Platte Street address. No dated news source or owner statement describing the reason for or exact date of the closure could be found.
