Vail-Beaver Creek, CO, Guide and Information

An old college friend recently posted a link on my Facebook timeline that featured a story about how Vail, Colorado had been cited among the country’s best ‘small town food scenes’ by USA Today. Huh, I thought, in a most affirming manner. (Not to be confused with huh?) I realized that I concurred with that distinction, and so I’ve decided to share some of my favorite Vail dining experiences with my Discovery Map readers.

As a resident of Colorado for over twenty years, I have had many opportunities to go to Vail–typically at least once a year for at least a few days and then sometimes also just passing through. Each time I have enjoyed exceptional dining experiences, often in the company of my partner, Steve, who happens to be the general manager of a big lodge in Colorado. Between the two of us, we have lots of street cred. So much so, in fact, that I would go so far as to say that the combinations of these culinary adventures have surpassed ones we’ve had in Aspen. (Note, however, that that’s not to say that Aspen doesn’t also rank high on foodies’ hit lists.)
