With some of my children attending college here, I have traveled to Boulder dozens of times in the past decade, and I must say, some of my fondest memories from this wonderful college town have been the hearty home-style breakfasts served up at several of the area’s restaurants…spots I have since considered the greatest breakfast restaurants ever! So join me as I make my way from Le Peep to The Buff, then after an eyes-glazed-over nap, we’ll mosey on down to The Walnut Café and Lucille’s before finally calling it quits at Qs in the Boulderado Hotel.

From inspiring South Park episodes to entire television networks dedicated to the topic, the recent food obsession that has come on over the past few years has gotten slightly out of hand, and, understandably, I can’t think of anywhere that it has hit harder than the pothead community.

I mean it’s almost like torture for those of us sitting around with the bong in one hand and the remote in the other, flipping through aimlessly for something worth watching, when all of a sudden...there it is…the Food Network (or cooking channel, or travel channel, or whatever) beckoning you in, and it always does. It’s virtually impossible to not want to stop for at least a second (which turns into 2 hours) and stick around long enough to see what exactly Giada plans to do with that Italian Chocolate Cake and freshly made whipped cream.
