If this is Thursday......

This post is for the Northern Colorado readers or anyone inspired to take a dream and run with it. Every Thursday, my friends and I gather at the Fly By Diner. Thursdays, you will find the Diner in the back parking lot of the New Belgian Brewery. The employees at New Belgian are lucky for a LOT of reasons, but walking two feet to the best food in NoCo is just nuts. Jan and Sarah take the time to infuse every menu with a HUGE dose of creativity. I'm going to re-print the Valentines day menu just so that you can slap your forehead and yell: "where was I!!!????"..... You will find them catering full time. If I won the lottery, I would hire them as personal cooks. In addition to Thursdays at New Belgian, they show up at Advanced Energy on Wednesdays. Suit up AE Geeks, drop that bologna sandwich with the crusts symmetrically cut with a t-square and try something REALLY amazing. Yes, even more amazing than the quantum laser sword that you took to Comic Con last year. I can't say enough about their organic, locally sourced ingredients. There's always something for everyone. Meat eaters?...get out your knives. Vegetarians? they've got you covered too and we're not just talking tofu and sprouts here. We sit in our cars, on curbs, take it away, perch on dumpsters, whatever we have to do. A very long community picnic table and a Fat Tire beer would make Thursdays official HEAVEN.

Look at them. Aren't they adorable? Smart. Sassy. Talent oozing from every apron-ed pore.

Notice the prices?...really. We drank the Love Potion #9, and returned for the Aztec Infusion which is actually indescribable. If you know ME, that's rare. This is just a sample of a weekly menu. Go to their website and sign up for their weekly emails.

February 8-12
*Chiles en Nogada (Chiles in Walnut Sauce) $8

Catering trucks have been around for ages, but these gals have taken that concept to an unbelievable level in every way. That menu is incredible and innovative and so are they. Thanks so much for sharing, Lisa. xox

Were I just a tiny bit closer, I'd brave the giant hailstones and everything. Hooray for the happy entrepreneurs and your sharing them with us.
