Recently I was contacted by thebesty.com to give my recommendations for the best restaurants. It didn't have to be local so I added the amazing, unforgettable place that Patrick and I ate at on our honeymoon in Aruba, Barefoot, but I do have my top local restaurants for you today if you are ever in the northern/metro Colorado area. They are, in no particular order:
1. Aunt Alice's. Location: Longmont, Colorado. No website, but here's the menu.
Aunt Alice's is the best home cooked comfort food in all the world, in
my opinion. They offer amazing breakfast all day long (Eggs Benedict
are my favorite there) and their pancakes are to die for. They have
great lunch and dinner options as well and even have a burrito special
(I believe it is called the Big Daddy and I think it is a three pound
burrito) where if you eat it all in an hour, you get it for free. And
the pies--oh the pies--so. good.
2. Illegal Pete's. Location: Boulder, Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado
Illegal Pete's is a burrito joint that uses only all natural
ingredients. The food is absolutely killer and the atmosphere is really
laid back. It is the perfect lunch spot to grab a quick bite.
3. Raising Cane's. Fort Collins, Colorado
This is just a simple chicken place--there is about four things on the
menu. But it is ALL delicious. The chicken, the coleslaw, the fries
and the garlic bread can't be beat. But the main attraction is the
sauce! I don't know what they make it with but it is addictive! I even
had to go there twice during my pregnancy (a 45 minute drive without
traffic) just to get jars of the stuff. The best!
4. The Buddha. Boulder, Colorado
This is hands down the best Thai food I have ever had and the prices are
really reasonable. I have been served by the same waiter for five
years now and I am never disappointed when I go. Just be sure to go
with an empty stomach! You will get full and have extra for dinner!
