laudisio revisited
Last night we went to First Bite Boulder with Tom and Kellie at Laudisio. The new restaurant is far bigger and more chic than the old establishment. It moved to the new upscale, bourgeois 29th Street Mall. I like the old restaurant better. It had more of a family feel to it, and now they have bimbo hostesses, and clueless young waiters who don’t know that you need a spoon, not a fork, to eat crème brûlée.
The food itself was okay, and I think that had more to do with the set menu of First Bite Boulder and the fact that the place was hopping. I suppose we’ll go back some night and order from the regular menu just to see if the place has become a different restaurant, but last night was not overly impressive.

The company was first rate though. Tom and Kellie are great to talk with about all of the topics you aren’t supposed to discuss in polite company: religion, politics, family, and of course, poo talk. Although dinner ended, our conversation did not and we walked across the street to a home decor store to find a warm place to chat and just wander. All of the stores are decked out for the holidays and with the cool temperatures in Colorado, it felt festive and sparkly.
