Denver Post Food

On a recent return to Fort Collins, our food writer Josie Sexton was reminded what she loves about the place: One, that it feels like home, always. Two, that it also always feels on the verge of change.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"Fort Collins’ dining scene is often overlooked next to those of Boulder and Denver," she writes. "The first time I pulled off the freeway onto Mulberry Street, I asked, 'Well, where is it?' Now, heading back for a day trip or weekend, I appreciate knowing where to look.⁠"⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"So this is a personal guide to dining in Fort Collins today. For ease, most spots are walkable from Old Town, with a few exceptions. They’re organized by meal and time of day. When you arrive, I hope there’s still some late-afternoon sunlight streaming over the foothills and a free counter seat where you can fit right in.⁠"⁠⠀

“I want to take the stuffiness of the holidays and making people feel like they have to celebrate something very specific and just open it up,” said Honduran chef Edwin Sandoval.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Sandoval will start a new local celebration with a Latin American-inspired family meal that's open to all this Thanksgiving.⁠⠀
