Where should I eat tomorrow

I have been on a terribly strict diet for more than 2 years (by choice) and have had the support of my family. But this week I am working in Colorado and have one night left to eat whatever I want without family judgement and scrutiny. I have become completely accustomed to low fat, low sodium food. This is my one and only cheat week.

Last night I ate a burger and fries from Five Guys. I had no idea I would get a grocery bag filled with fries which in retrospect was not that good. Tonight I had my first Papa Johns pizza. I was disappointed. Neither were that great.

So....one meal left and I want it to be orgasmicly delicious. What do you recommend I eat tomorrow night?

1. I would find the freshest, biggest lobster dinner available.

So might I suggest Mexican? Denver does have some good Mexican. Look for dives, they're usually the best.

Or is there a specific mom and pop shop you recommend? Or are they all orgasmically good?

Ask some of your co-workers; they probably know a few, too.

publicity they got....

Why not go to a Ruth's Chris's or some good local steak joint and get a good steak? It's expensive but YOLO....

Brassiere Ten Ten, Boulder. A little pricey but I swear you won't regret it. It's French & American. Now THAT would be orgasmically good. Also in Boulder, for Mexican (and this is NOT a dive by any means) is Cantina Loredo, Twenty Ninth Street, Boulder. They make your guacamole table side to your recommendations. Food IS GOOD. Margies are POWERFUL so drink with caution.

If you have to point it's really good. Order the shellfish.

One thing I do when I'm in an unfamiliar place is to check out TripAdvisor reviews for local restaurants. People who've eaten there rate them and post reviews, You can even do a search by cuisine. Myself, I like pizza. You can check out which local places are the best.

It's on the corner of 10th and Lincoln, between a pizza restaurant and a marijuana dispensary.
