This
brilliant little deli opens early so that outdoors-bound patrons can get out and on the trail
with box lunches in their pack. The Pilgrim - a pile of turkey with cranberry sauce - was
named one of the best sandwiches in America by
Esquire
magazine.

Clean white tables and bright loc-
al art give this extraordinarily cute lunch spot a fresh ambience, even if the menu is relat-
ively simple sandwiches. In the morning, go for an egg-and-avocado burrito; for lunch, a
bowl of vegetarian chili.

The butchers here are straight from central casting - all forearms and white ap-
rons - and all of the five varieties of Reuben sandwiches win raves. They serve dinner on
the weekend, a predictably meaty selection of American mains.

Organic, vegetarian dishes at this bright lunch spot are delicious, with a
menu focused on hearty sandwiches, baked tofu dishes and soups. Tacos, with tempeh and
Mexican jackfruit, are the highlight of the mix-and-match daily plate. End things right
with the raw key lime pie.

Of all Fort Collins' excellent brewpubs, this is the only one with
a good menu. It's all about the thick-cut steak fries, chunky burgers and yards of fresh
beer. The best thing on tap is also the most inventive: Sigda's Green Chili Golden Ale.
