Best: "of the highest quality, excellence, or standing; most advantageous, suitable, or desirable." Seems simple enough ... except when it comes to people's taste buds.

Where do you go when you need a quick lunch? Wooglin's Deli.
When you're craving something savory, what's your pick? Omelets Etc., for the pumpkin pancakes, on South Eighth Street. It's a fabulous family restaurant. There are a lot of gluten-free options as well. It's a really excellent place.
What do you think makes a place "the best"? What makes a place the best is if it has choices for people who eat all kinds of foods. For example, a sushi place that has a grill — that way people who don't like sushi can go there and enjoy it with others who do like sushi. Also, a great wait staff is key, to provide a friendly atmosphere.
Of service, food or atmosphere, which is most important to you at a restaurant or bar, and why? Service is the most important because if the service is good, I can cope with the food not being five stars. If the service is good, it makes it an enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

What's a typical Friday Night in Colorado Springs? If I'm hanging out with certain friends, I find myself at Cowboys. If I'm not hanging out with these friends, then I'm probably at Nosh or Red Martini.
