tangerine

i couldn’t wait to try tangerine, the newbreakfastand lunch annex to boulder’s arugula bar e ristorante. with a full and hectic sunday planned, my husband and i arrived early — and hungry. the decor is bright and cheerful, with shades of orange, white and wood tones dominating the decor. furnishings reminiscent of the mod squad set a light-hearted tone. orange ceiling fixtures look like so many illuminated tangerines.   the waitstaff wears brown t-shirts whose backs read “breakfast brunch lunch” in orange letters. tangerine’sbreakfastmenu is impressive — not because no place else serves eggs

there are few things in the world i love more than a good brunch. i'm a fan ofbreakfastfoods but my weekday schedule doesn't really provide me with time to enjoy a "balanced breakfast." most days i just shove a banana in my purse and hope for the best. that is why during the weekend (or if you are on vacation and you don't have to wake up by 7am) you can enjoy the wonder that is breakfast. and when i am on vacation i want to eat brunch every damn day to make up for my deficit. at some point during our visit to colorado the idea chicken and waffles came up, at which point i expressed my desire to "put them in my mouth." emo.matt knew just the place- tangerine . tangerine might be the cutest darnbreakfastjoint i've seen. the decor was modern and light, with just pops of, well... tangerine. the metal chairs were all different colors and i loved the green tile behind the bar. we were lucky enough to get a booth by the window that was drenched in window light.
