Restaurant Review: Colorado Kitchen

Sunday is a day of rest and brunch. I was going to take my nephew to a open house but that didnt pan out. SpaceCadet bailed on me...not really.... Pete was in town and I was trying to hook up with him and Rachel for lunch but got sucked into going to Colorado Kitchen with A. Between Longfellow and Kennedy on upper 16th is an up and coming area full of hipsters and bohemians. Outside of this place was twenty people all waiting for a table. It was weird because there was always an open table inside but they still refused to sit people. So we waited and we fought. "Let's leave." she muttered. "But we have committed half an hour already." I kept repeating. Why we waited I still l cant say but when there are people patiently waiting you know it has to be good. After 45 minutes we sat down to eat, the last of the customers waiting for a table. No more biscuits and shrimp and grits is announced as we sit. Shit i think to myself we should just go...but wait, what do i see...fried chicken and eggs! The day is saved.

We start with fresh donuts: cake batter thats fried...we get a powdered, chocolate frosted and a honey nut and hands down powdered rules. It was warm and crunchy. The dough was sweet and of medium weight with a healthy dose of powdered sugar. Yummy...I could have left after that but i was waiting for my eggs over hard and fried chicken. The chicken was good, pan fried, but not greasy and the egss were fluffy and yummy. It was hearty but tasted so damn good. A had the egss benny and they were good too, even though shrimp and grits would have been better. The food wasnt fancy but it was remarkable good. the coffe was crap and i had a fizzy lizzy which was not anywhere near the greatness of fanta.

Colorado Kitchen akin to a Michelin two star, I would suggest a trip to this spot. Go early.

You do have to wait and get your name on the list because if you dont say good bye to eating.
