John Elway • Former Broncos Quarterback and Restaurant Owner

CHERRY CREEK. For Colorado's legion of football fanatics, John Elway is Denver. Unlike with other gridiron demigods, it's not impossible to see and meet the Hall of Famer. He's the owner of (and frequent visitor to) this Cherry Creek steakhouse – which ranks as one of the city's best beef palaces. He handles autographs graciously but also works in volume; you'll get a signature but not much eye contact.
