A Sandwich a Day: The Bandit from Back Country Pizza and Taphouse in Boulder, CO
Backcountry Pizza and Taphouse is known for its beers (over 50 on tap), but there's also a pretty long list of sandwiches. The six-inch is $7, the foot-long, $11. Most of them are hot including one called "The Hot Mob," but its cold counterpart is "The Bandit," which includes ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and Italian dressing.A Sandwich a Day: Smoked Pork at the Dickens Tavern in Longmont, CO
The smoked pork and pickled pepper sandwich ($9) at the Dickens Tavern isn't the prettiest girl at the dance, but looks are deceiving. The menu describes it as "smoked pork, pickles, hot peppers, melted cheese, all grilled on super toast with chipotle aioli," but it looks a lot plainer than that.A Sandwich a Day: Salmon BLT at Mike O'Shays in Longmont, CO
This isn't a filet 'o mystery fish sandwich. The Fresh Salmon BLT ($11) at Mike O'Shay's in Longmont, Colorado, includes a nice-sized salmon fillet served on a substantial baguette. It's topped with an herby garlic mayo, applewood smoked bacon, tomato slices and lettuce. The salmon definitely plays the starring role but the green, garlicky mayo is just the right accompaniment. You also get a choice of fries (regular or sweet potato!), cole slaw, or salad.A Sandwich A Day: Sausage at Carbone's Italian Sausage Market in Denver
You have to love an Italian meat shop with posters of saints on the walls and a friendly neighborhood crowd and chatty counter staff, where a bag of chips with your sandwich costs 30 cents. It's the sausage sandwich at Carbone's Italian Sausage Market that's worth an order, as they make the starring meat in house, flattened into a juicy slab with red pepper flakes and fennel.Meet Your Farmers: Don Lareau of Zephyros Farm and Garden

There's more to Denver food culture than the Denver omelet. The city is home to some of the country's best Mexican food, microbreweries galore, and a handful of fast-casual chains (cough, Chipotle) got their start here. While Denverites have jumped on board many of the popular national trends like gastropubs, noodle bars, and using more locally sourced ingredients, they've also held onto some uniquely Denver foodisms. Fast-Casual Chipotle. [Flickr: LinksmanJD] Denver is kind of the motherland of fast-casual food concepts. Chipotle started here, and the burrito chain continues to expand and challenge the idea of "fast-food," installing solar panels and sourcing sustainably-raised beef and vegetables from farmers.

Grand Junction Free Press Straight from Colorado comes a cookie with a bang. The Grand Junction Free Press was first to hip us onto these 9-mm-shaped sugar cookie made by Mary Lincoln, owner of the Slice O' Life Bakery in Palisade. Though Lincoln informed me I was behind the times and she was doing turkey-shaped cookies when I called her earlier this week, she promised that next week the guns would be loaded with butter and sugar and ready to go for $2 a pop. Signs in Lincoln's store read, "No background checks" and “No waiting period." While Lincoln shaped a piece of cardboard to make her cookie cutter, we found an actual cookie cutter for sale ($12.95, from...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
