The Best Restaurants in Boulder, Colorado | Eater Denver

"Receiving the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurateur in 2024, Kelly Whitaker’s got a reputation for breaking new culinary ground. Of all his projects, this is the coziest and most straightforward, centered around wood-fired pizzas, proteins, and veggies. Kick off with oysters and the chicken-liver mousse with mostarda and focaccia; move on to the OG Cart pizza with sausage and kale alongside roast chicken in white wine jus; and wash it all down with something fun and funky like a bottle of Lambrusco or a Manzanilla Sherry and tonic. (By day, sibling cafe and bakery Dry Storage around the corner awaits with breads and pastries made from heritage grains milled in house.)" - Ruth Tobias
