Bob & Earl's Cafe ~ Trinidad, Colorado

First visit: May 2023

It's time for the big road trip down to Austin for the Record Show! JL and I loaded up the van full of rare vinyl and began our 14 hour journey (with no stops... which we did plenty, so call it 17 hours). It's still very early in the morning and breakfast is on our mind when we arrive in Trinidad. Where to go? Pull up the trusty Google Map app and Bob & Earl's looked like a winner. Sitting on the outskirts of the western side of town, we journeyed on over.

Walk in, and this cafe screams local, just what we both wanted! I went with my usual smothered burrito. Asked for it Christmas and they didn't ask me what that meant, so that's a good sign. I wisely ordered the "small" which is really "just the right amount". There wasn't much difference in color between the red and green. Neither were even close to New Mexico chiles but not Colorado green either. Nonetheless it was delicious with the bacon flavor coming through. Washed it down with a couple of fine cups of coffee. JL went with the traditional eggs and pancakes and devoured it with glee. 

We're off to a good start!
