Overview

DiningOut is an American food media and culinary events company based in Denver, Colorado. Since 1998 it has published magazines and guides showcasing regional dining across the United States, positioning itself as a 360-degree marketing resource for restaurant and advertising clients. Its editorial coverage spans multiple city markets, including Denver, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, New York, and Phoenix, with restaurant news, reviews, chef profiles, and event listings. In 2014 the company expanded into event production with the launch of DiningOut Events, creating a platform for local eateries to reach diners directly. Over the following decade it developed a portfolio of themed food festivals such as TOP TACO, CHICKEN FIGHT!, RARE, and THE WEDDING PARTY, and provided culinary production services for large Colorado events, including a Food Truck Festival at Velorama, a BBQ Festival at LoHi BazaarBQ, and VIP services at Grandoozy. It has also organized cocktail competitions for spirits brands including Diageo and Rémy Cointreau. The brand operates as a multi-city editorial and events business rather than a restaurant chain. Its content is produced by regional managing editors and contributors, and its events are staged in cities such as Houston, Dallas, and Phoenix. DiningOut remains privately held and active, with its website serving as the hub for food news, city guides, and event promotion.

Over the past decade, DiningOut Events has developed a diverse line-up of its own themed food festivals, including TOP TACO, CHICKEN FIGHT!, RARE, and THE WEDDING PARTY. The events division has also lent its culinary production experience to some of the largest events in Colorado: a Food Truck Festival at Velorama (30,000 attendees), a BBQ Festival at LoHi BazaarBQ (25,000 attendees), and all VIP services at Grandoozy (60,000 attendees). In addition, DiningOut Events has organized and produced various cocktail competitions, including The Garnish Games for Diageo Spirits and The Ritual for Rémy Cointreau. The company is based in Denver, Colorado, and remains privately held. Its website functions as a multi-city food news and events hub, featuring restaurant openings, chef interviews, seasonal menu coverage, and event calendars.
