Tom’s Tavern on the Pearl Street mall for a really great burger and Juanits’s (think I got the name right?) right next door for better than average Mex. Used to live in Boulder; hope they are both still viable! [:D][:D]

Perhaps, when you have moved to Boulder and settle in, treat yourself to a delectable dinner at the Flagstaff House. It is excellent and the scenery is beautiful. Here is their website.

Not inexpensive, but one of the best meals I’ve ever had:

Angelfood cake like grandma made.

Also, not sure where you are "moving up" from, but if you are new to CO try the cinnamon buns here:

The country fried steak is good too.

I envy you.[:)]

In Thornton, just by Denver off I-25, there is a burger joint that has the best green chili I ever had.
I think they have a couple locations in the area.

Jims Burger Haven..Not the best burgers, but their green chili is to die for!..

If you pass through Denver, I recommend Swing Thai, Sushi Den or Wahoos. Lobster and fish tacos:)

Holy Cats, do try Mustard’s and let me know how it is!

I would not call it Roadfood, but the Briarwood Inn in Golden.

Mustards Last Stand is also good for hot dogs.
