Comfort food is back in Boulder, but it’s not about heavy, guilty-pleasure meals anymore—it’s about dishes that feel familiar, nourishing, and easy to trust. People are skipping the hype and focusing on food that actually fits their busy, outdoor lives: more protein and fiber, less sugar, and flavors that feel balanced instead of over-the-top. Fermented and functional foods are now just everyday staples, not a trend. The biggest shift? Folks are eating closer to home, supporting neighborhood spots, and expecting sustainability as a given. How do you see these changes showing up in your own kitchen or favorite local spot? #Food #BoulderEats #FoodTrends
