Secret Grub House in Aspen Valley is Juicy Lucy’s Steak and Seafood Restaurant – Glenwood Springs Eats
Glenwood Springs Eats
When we decided to change our life style and escape the rat race of city life we started seeking out our paradise. Residing on the California coast was fun, but crowded no matter what activities we decided to do. We had heard about Colorado and the wide open spaces, especially in western Colorado with villages like Aspen and Vail that are smaller communities, yet a real culture and population.
Flying into Grand Junction we started east on Interstate 70 to check out Western Colorado. It was late afternoon when we reached Glenwood Springs and decided this would be a nice place to stop over and then decide on Aspen or Vail in the morning. We choose to rest at the historic Hotel Colorado and after settling into our room we wanted to discover what Glenwood Springs has to do. The front desk clerk suggested some nice shops to visit, but when we asked about places to eat he said it depends on the food you wish to eat. Being in Colorado I wanted a big fat steak, but my better half insisted on seafood like back home. I told her the closest ocean was too many miles away, so the seafood could never be ashigh quality as we could get at home, but she held her foot down. So her recommendation was a quaint restaurant directly across the foot bridge called Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse where we could have the best selection for both.
Once we had finished visiting several little shops we found Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse and after a brief amount of time at the historic bar we were shown our table. As I reviewed the menu I saw the perfect meal for me, Colorado Elk Sirloin. All natural grilled elk sirloin shaved and served on sautéed portabella mushrooms, but I was impressed by the {fish|seafood|fresh catch| selections on the menu. I was even more impressed by their daily offerings like; Broiled Sea Scallops stuffed with Alaskan King Crab or Grilled Hawaiian Opa with Oriental Citrus Glaze. I had to inquire about the freshness and quality since it was obvious the nearest real water was many miles away. He implied they only include the freshest ingredients and the shell fish is flown in daily six days a week. My wife ordered the Sea Scallops and I have to say if you had no idea you were in {the rocky mountains|Colorado|dry regions of the country| you would insist you were eating in a seafood restaurant near the cost.
Next day on the tour we decided on Carbondale, and fell in love with the small burgs from all over the Aspen Valley. At This place we could ski in the winter, fly fish in the summer, hike, bike and be by ourselves, or go to a fun event or concert almost any night. We found our wonderful retirement place and knowing that no matter where we settled in the valley we were only a small distance away from the freshest seafood in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Who would have guessed that a fine dining establishment named Juicy Lucy’s Steakhouse would facilitate us make one of the best choices ever.
