All-V’s Submarine Sandwiches: Skip the Subway for a
change and hit Eighth Avenue, home to one of Denver’s best sub
shops. Fine meatball sandwiches and cheese steaks share menu
space with hearty vegetarian subs. The Avocado Gobbler Melt, a
mouthwatering mix of turkey, bacon, avocado and Swiss cheese is a
longtime favorite. Don’t skip the fries here in fact, order two.
These addictive little babies are hot, crispy and just greasy enough.
Lunch (sandwich, fries, and a soda) will set you back less than
$10. | 4326 E. Eighth Ave., 303-377-0401 | Tucker Shaw
Cugino’s Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant: One of Steamboat’s most popular local hangouts, Cugino’s boasts a brick-lined oven that turns out some of the high country’s most popular pizza. But it’s the strombolis that make Cugino’s fans wax most poetic. Sit on the patio and order the original, which mixes salami, capicolla, ham and provolone. Ask for mixed sweet and hot peppers and dip your ‘boli liberally in the sweet marinara sauce. Share it with a friend (it’s big enough) or take home the extras for a late-night snack.|41 Eighth St., Steamboat Springs, 970-879-5805|Tucker Shaw
Andre’s Restaurant: So choose one of Andre’s two luncheon entrees, polish off the tiny salad and the main course, then order the real deal: dessert – some of the best anywhere. This Cherry Creek-
area eatery offers a three-course lunch topping out at under $25 for two. Portions are more European than Texan – that is, you’ll be hungry just in time for dinner. Try to resist taking another dessert home.|370 S. Garfield St., 303-322-8871.|Ellen Sweets
