The Fort Description:
Founder Sam Arnold's daughter, Holly Arnold Kinney, now owns what may be the ultimate destination for the person hungry for wild western culture. The Fort is just that---an adobe-and-timbers re-creation of the late Bent Fort that now hosts diners instead of soldiers. For some, The Fort is a worthy bastion of Colorado kitsch and early American food. Much like the Buckhorn Exchange in Denver, the foothills establishment serves a stockyard full of game meats, exotic meats, organ meats and familiar suspects like pork, cattle and fish. Starters include Rocky Mountain oysters, otherwise known as bull testicles, rattlesnake cakes and roast bison marrow bones, while main dishes trumpet Colorado-raised bison in all guises, elk chops, pork chops crusted with a toasted pumpkin seed mole and grilled quail with wild huckleberry demi-glace and season-inspired vegetables.
