"More to the point, “Colorado comfort food,” as in, lamb-and-oat meatloaf, Rocky Mountain pan-fried trout ’n’ chips, and slow-braised Colorado short-rib with smoked cherry goat cheese smashed potatoes.Why go: These guys define creativity.

The team selects the most tantalizing, puts their own spin on it, and invites the original recipe’s owner to the kitchen for a private tasting and dish naming."
