I believe that Boulder might be the top food destination in Colorado. I know that is a bold statement, but I think it's true. Here's why...

• The Wall Street Journal called Boulder the "Best small city for great meals" in November 2009.
• Bon Appetit wrote "Boulder is officially bursting at it foodie-seams" in June 2007.
• The Denver Post wrote "Boulder still has the best food per square mile in the state" on August 20, 2008.
• There are nine breweries in town and five wineries - including the best self-guided wine tour in the state.
• Boulder is the home town of Hosea Rosenberg, the winner of the television show "Top Chef," the reality show that launches careers of American chefs. It is also the home town of master sommeliers, a cooking school, the state's best farmers' market and most importantly, people who love to eat.

Foodies know that food is a great way to experience a community's distinct lifestyle. The suggestions in this guide give you a peek into living like a local in a way that is fresh and all about food. So, what are you waiting for? Visit Boulder and check out the chefs' suggestions. If you like them, I hope you'll stop in their restaurants to give them a full report. They'd like to hear from you!
