It's never easy to see a heavyweight champion go down in the ring, unless, of course, you are a fan of the challenger. Our green chile bracket lost not one, but two heavyweights this week when a pair of well-known and well-loved restaurants made their mark on the contest.

It’s never easy to see a heavyweight champion go down in the ring, unless, of course, you are a fan of the challenger. Our green chile bracket lost not one, but two heavyweights this week when a pair of well-known and well-loved restaurants made their mark on the contest.
For the past five weeks, readers of The Denver Post have been voting by the thousands in our annual food bracket challenge. It began with 32 restaurants vying for the top spot. The businesses were selected by readers and editorial staffers. Now we are near the end.
This week, Brewery Bar II, at 150 Kalamath St. in Denver, knocked off the Original Chubby’s on West 38th Avenue, a spot that has become synonymous with green chile in Denver over the decades. Brewery Bar II is no slouch, though, having received plenty of its own awards and attention for the dish during its 69-year history.
Los Dos Potrillos, meanwhile, which has five metro Denver locations and another on the way, took Santiago’s out of the running. The longtime family-owned Mexican restaurant has plenty of fans in the southern suburbs while Santiago’s — also family-owned — has at least 30 Colorado locations and is known for its spicy and inexpensive breakfast burritos.
Now Brewery Bar II and Los Dos Potrillos will face off in the high-stakes finale. Vote below.
