First Bites: Chillfire Bar & Grill in Denver is a work in progress

Helen Schwab: Chillfire Bar & Grill comes (partly) from the guys who brought you Epic Chophouse, Mickey & Mooch and the defunct Manzetti’s. The food: The lineup is fairly straightforward: steaks, seafood (from crabcakes and fried shrimp to spiced Chilean sea bass), specialties (5 of 6 are beef), chicken and duck (not so common) and lots of starch among the sides.
