CO Food!

One thing I tend to do when I am in Colorado is go on a food spree. That’s because in my state only hospitals, gas stations and a handful of McDonald’s are allowed to be open 24 hours not to mention that we don’t have most of the food choices that a place in civilization (like Colorado) has and no one delivers food to my mountain. I won’t write about all the places I ate while in Colorado, but will mention a few of them. Of course I had to go to the Edelweiss German Restaurant. I have always gone there since my first time in 2010. I had my usual – schnitzel  - it was just as I remember it (the atmosphere of the restaurant was good, the food was excellent, the company and conversation (by my sister and myself) was good. Another place I went to (this was my first time) was to the HuHot Mongolian Restaurant. You fill a bowl of whatever you want and the cook it right in front of you. It was really good. For dessert we ordered make-your-own S’mores (not traditionally Mongolian, but it tasted great.) I would definitely go back there. One place that I had been to before, but that failed this time was Thunder and Buttons. The other time I was there (2 years ago) I got the schnitzel sandwich (yes I like schnitzel) and it was perfect, but this time it was burnt beyond recognition and was as hard as a rock that I couldn’t take more than two bites. Luckily, the night wasn’t a bust. My sister and I were meeting up with some friends. I haven’t seen them in 2 years and yet it was one of those full-blown belly laughs kind of nights. It was just several hours of fun. Too bad we don’t get to hang out that much. I posted a picture the waitress took of us (it is not a very good picture of me, but the other three came out good so I decided to post it.) The last food item I will talk about wasn’t at a restaurant, but was in my sister’s backyard. Her new boyfriend made smoked brisket the night I arrived. It was really good. I wish I was able to BBQ, but I’m not good at it.
