Mathew Yamali opens Colorado Hots in Wheat Ridge, serving iconic dishes from Rochester, New York, including the famous garbage plates.

Yamali, who has a background in fine dining and food trucks, wanted to recreate the vibe of the “hots” restaurants he grew up with. These places are famous for their unique hot dogs and the legendary garbage plates.
At Colorado Hots, you can find Zweigle’s sausages and all the classic toppings. The garbage plates are piled high with deliciousness, perfect for anyone needing a hearty meal.
The wings are a must-try too! They’re brined in pickle juice and tossed in a tasty sauce that fills the air with a mouthwatering aroma.
Yamali’s journey took him from Rochester to various kitchens across the country, but he always felt a pull back to his roots. Now, he’s created a space that feels like home, complete with decor that pays homage to New York.
People from New York are already flocking to his restaurant, feeling right at home. It’s a cozy spot where you can enjoy great food and share stories. If you’re in the area, definitely check it out!
