    Thumbs up D-Town Breakfast!

    Okay, I had to laugh, more than usual at this one:
    Planned communities are the Galapagos Islands of the retail world -- a protected environment where the dim, the flawed and the strange can flourish without predation, safe from the market forces that might otherwise cripple and kill them. Such artificial survivability pollutes the gene pool, and that's never a good thing.
    Unless, of course, you are one of those operations existing within the cordon. Then it's the greatest thing in the world. If you're a sea turtle or some kind of freak-ass flying monkey-lizard, then the Galapagos are exactly where you want to be. They're freak-ass flying monkey-lizard nirvana.
    Westword's eatery snob is really great at his job and this is some funny shit (from this week's featured review) but what today's point is really about...dun da da dun!... D-town getting it's own Lucile's. Lucile's is now my favorite of the boulder brekky places and easily rates the #2 all time position for B-town brekky eating and until now, the Big D (and I don't mean Dallass) didn't really have much in the way of competition with even the sorriest of Boulder breakfasts (to wit: Dot's Awful Wretched Cancerlike VI Cum Wafflehouse Cum IHOP Diner*).

    Since I've lived in Denver there's been at least 3 and maybe 5 restaurants in the location next to Chipotle @ Logan/Alameda but Lucile's at least last Sunday AM looks like they might pull it off between just being a good place to eat and all us yuppie assholes who went to school in boulder but now can't be bothered to head up there because let's face it we ain't yet made it to being pure d- yuppie boulder fucks.

    * Apologies to the Dot-o-philes here but between the not outstanding food and the destruction** two far better establishments earn them the distinction of being on my full-on hate list

    ** admittedly, both were gone/going anyway but that doesn't alleviate any of the distaste

    Lucile's is the shit. I loved that place and hit it every time we spent the night in Boulder for a show at the Fox. Their homemade Beignet's were ungodly good.

    I guess Mother's and Joe's Spoon were before my time.

    RMJ's has to get a mention somewhere in the annals of Boulder Breakfast Superlatives, though.

    Lucile's is also one of my favorite restaurants in the country and the grand dame of all things breakfast. Is the one in Denver homey like the boulder location?

    The ignore function has always made SquawMan a little more tolerable. Now it's even better.

    Anyway, was Joe's Spoon on 28th? I think I did eat there.

    edit: but only if you don't quote him, Ice.

    Agreed. But not interesting enough. Given that it's obviously Squawman, there's really nowhere for this to go or develop; hence, the rarely-employed "ignore user" nuclear option will be employed.

    edit: ahhhh.

    Ooops, my finger slipped and put O G R E on the ignore list and he just fucking disappeared! Burly functionality ONS! Funny that squawk's alias is the only one on mine. The best part is that in the four posts he's made since I did it, there's been quite literally zero temptation to peek. Sweet.

    Cornhole- RMJ's the place upstairs on the Mall? It was okay, nothing like Mother's though. Joe's was on 28th (I think) in sort of a strip mall, it wasn't a great place as food goes just solid blue collar breakfast and lunch but it was real blue collar food in a town almost completely devoid of such a thing.

    Mother's was on the hill right next to the laundromat and is the standard by which all breakfast joints shall forever be judged. Unpretentious food just done REALLY well. Tiny, smoky with surly waitstaff, I ate there nearly every day for a couple of years. It was the first of many places that I've acheived regular status at and make it my practice to cultivate those relationships as possible because sometimes the finest thing in life is to roll in on a busy saturday morning with a 45 minute wait and have the hot/slutty waitress pick up the server's spot at the counter to seat you.

    Ice also get's an exemption for misquoting squawk.

    Dblatto - No, the denver one is a much more traditional restaurant space. It has some homey touches but...

    In all honesty - I'm as equally amused by O G R E as I am by OGRE.
