The Ralphie Report Guide To Boulder: Nominate Best Pizza, Vote Best Burrito/Mexican Food


To help welcome our new Pac-12 friends in their pilgrimage's to Boulder we are creating The Ralphie Report Guide To Boulder. 

So here's how this will work. On the dates you see below we will be taking nominations for entries into each of the categories below. You'll have two days to nominate per category. After two days I will put up the nomination post for the next category and include a poll for the previous one. The top three vote getters in each category will be featured in the guide so don't be afraid to offer up some different nominations and make sure to come back and vote in each category. The timing of this will take us right into fall practice. We're getting close...

Beau Jo's

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

Cosmos

the only bad thing at Fatty J's is the pizza

the Philly Blunts are pretty bang on

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

Ha!

Haven’t eaten there since they moved out of the Best Western. Cosmo’s would be a close second.

Best Western? Shit, I don't remember that. When was this?

I’ve never been to Cosmo’s. I’m going to Ucla and Stanford, and I want to go to tOSU and Hawai’i. But I might need a trip to Boulder to try all of these suggestions I’ve never had (and Lucille’s breakfast). Donations accepted.

I found Fatty J’s to be decidedly unimpressive. The blunts were good finger food, but I’d go Abo’s before Fatty J’s as far as greasy thin crust on the Hill after last call.

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

Yup the hotel right next to the Outlook

I think it turned into the green room or something. The couple that owned it split up and fought over the name. The husband decided to open up his own pizza joint (pun intended) but changed the name to skinny J’s. Looks like things have ended nicely and he has received permission to sell some pies under the OG name on the hill.

oh, yeah. That was bar space in my day

I remember dropping about $200 on beers for me and my friends after the Patriots beat the Rams in the Super Bowl, because I won like a grand. I don’t remember the name of the bar- just that it had a pool table and looked decidedly like it was a bar that belonged in a Best Western. (I lived at like 30th and Euclid, I think)

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

Beau Jo's

Others are good as well, but Beau Jo’s gets my vote because it’s pretty uniquely Colorado.

Does Old Chicago still exist on the Mall?

If so, then my nomination goes to them for their Chicago Deep Dish…

by BuffnBigD on Jul 22, 2011 3:16 PM MDT reply actions  

Still there

Ironically old chicago originated in colorado

this seems to be 2 decidedly different votes, for a dichotomous category

Pete’s (deservedly) wins best burrito, and Efrain’s wins best Mexican. And then Santiago’s wins best cheap ass version of both (via green chile). The only thing the Rio should win is strongest faux Mexican alcoholic drink.

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

by Phil Fraser on Jul 22, 2011 7:54 PM MDT reply actions  

That's actually why my vote went to the Rio...

….I guess my definition of ‘food’ is different……..

Definitely Pizza Calorie on the mall

Spent way too much money eating there on the way home from the bars. Good pizza

by purplesocks on Jul 23, 2011 9:48 AM MDT reply actions

Every place on here is drunk late night Pizza, you want pizza that is a cut about got to Du Lopu or Locale.

Beu Jo is a colorad experience but it isnt good.

wanking motion

those places are for people who eat pizza with a knife and fork

Look, I've already told Utah to suck it. There's no going back now.

Cosmo's

by skithebert on Jul 24, 2011 7:31 AM MDT reply actions  

Cosmos for 3am Pizza....

…..for sitting down and eating pizza at a reasonable hour, dunno….in college it was all cheap delivery deals and pizza slices at late hours… Don’t know if I ever sat down at a place at a reasonable hour and ever ate pizza….
