First, a fleck of background. I have got identify unit of measurement inwards Colorado Springs, together with then Denver together with I aren’t total strangers but I haven’t had many opportunities to explore the metropolis yet. (Hopefully that volition alter this summer!). So when to a greater extent than identify unit of measurement flew downwards to Denver for my cousin’s college graduation together with wanted to become out to swallow together, I turned to handy peachy google for gluten gratis eating theatre recommendations...and Five On Black kept coming up.

So what is Five On Black? (And what the heck does their advert fifty-fifty mean?). We'll start amongst the basics: Five On Black is a Brazilian grill that's also 100% gluten free, fifty-fifty the bread. If I had to compare Five On Black to some other mainstream restaurant, it would likely hold out Chipotle. Like inwards Chipotle, customers' meals are made inwards an assembly-line fashion equally people select whatever options they like.

In particular, Five On Black's bowls each feature:
  • One base: brownish rice, white rice, greens or rice together with greens
  • One protein, ranging from chicken to fish to roasted veggies
  • One side: sugariness potatoes, collard greens or dark beans
  • One sauce, amongst customers choosing betwixt Mango BBQ together with Spicy Coconut
  • Up to 3 toppings, which hit from a lime wedge to fresh cilantro
  • PLUS optional upgrades similar avocado, extra toppings or sides together with their infamous cheesy breadstuff (more on that later)

Customers tin club a pocket-sized bowl (which costs $6.45) or a regular bowl (for $8.45) and, according to a mural on 1 of the restaurant's walls, in that place are over 70,560 dissimilar ways to club a bowl at Five On Black. They also claim it would have got 193 years to endeavour all of those combinations...so it's a adept affair I ordered a pretty epic bowl my get-go time.

So what did I get? I ended upward ordering a regular bowl amongst greens + brownish rice, chicken, one-half sugariness potatoes together with one-half dark beans, their mango BBQ sauce, a lime wedge, avocado (which does terms extra...but was totally worth it together with super fresh) together with their pao de queijo, which is a gluten free bread made of tapioca flour together with cheeses I don't typically swallow dairy together with I didn't halt upward beingness a big fan of the bread, but when I have got the adventure to endeavour a novel variety of gluten gratis bread, I rarely plough it down!

Now for the actually of import part: the taste. Overall, I would give Five On Black a enterprise A-. The chicken was extremely tender together with juicy, together with I dearest how pocket-sized they diced it. All of the sides together with toppings also tasted really fresh (especially compared to Chipotle, which has been a lady friend to a greater extent than than a striking for me lately), together with the cheesy breadstuff tasted soft together with fluffy. The pao de queijo is very cheesy, together with then if y'all aren't a big dairy fan, I'd pass. Also, if y'all practise club the mango BBQ sauce similar I did, order it on the side. Because I had them pour the sauce over my bowl, the sweetness got a picayune overpowering, specially amongst my side of sugariness potatoes. (Unfortunately, mango also appears to hold out a major high fodmap trigger for me inwards big doses, together with then I also ended upward pretty bloated after scarfing downwards the whole bowl).

Nonetheless, I was impressed that viii really various eaters (me, my parents, my aunt together with her 4 boys) all ended upward enjoying their tiffin at Five On Black, fifty-fifty though none of us had tried any Brazilian nutrient before. My parents are unremarkably really meat-and-potatoes-esque eaters, but my dad loved the tender chicken. Everyone also enjoyed beingness able to club really dissimilar meals (some of my cousins were brave plenty to endeavour the spicy chimichurri, together with were fans) inwards the same restaurant.

We were lucky plenty to striking the eating theatre during a non-peak time, together with then alone a span of minutes separated us from our hot bowls. However, given the assembly-line setup, I imagine that it rarely takes really long to have nutrient at Five On Black. I tin also attest that the bowl tastes only equally adept equally leftovers equally it does fresh, amongst the alone exception beingness the pao de queijo, which my dad said got a fleck difficult together with chewy over time.

As for the restaurant's name...well, nosotros asked the staff, together with fifty-fifty they weren't certain virtually the name's origins! However, according to a dearest that Five On Black together with I definitely share) together with the 5 steps inwards ordering a bowl. Whatever the name's exact origins, though, the restaurant's finish of giving customers "something that feels familiar but isn't" was definitely met.

Overall, I'd give Five On Black a enterprise 9/10. This isn't a eating theatre that I would desire to swallow at every fourth dimension I'm inwards Denver, mainly because the flavors tin hold out a picayune equally good much for my sensitive stomach. However, the lineament together with multifariousness of nutrient - addition the fact that the entire eating theatre is gluten gratis - makes Five On Black a condom together with delicious alternative for people amongst celiac disease, gluten intolerance or the demand to follow a gluten gratis diet...
