Dish is testament to the saying "SOQNOP" .  For those of you who didn't read business books during the 90s that means Sell on Quality, Not on Price"

We went to Dish today for the second or third time and it was better than ever.  Everything was fresh, delicious and as others have noted made there that day.

My cornmeal crusted catfish was a great blend of flavors and textures.  It's not too often that you can get through a big bowl of  tomato bisque and not be tired of it by the time you're done.

Don't go if you're looking for fast, cheap, quiet, or comfortable seating.  Go if you want to eat great food, well prepared, with care.

Welcome to Dish Gourmet, where everything is made from scratch. Here, the Chef/owner, Brian Benham, roasts 2 whole turkeys each and every day. He also cooks his own roast beef, cures his own salmon and makes his own mozzarella. In fact, they cook (almost) everything themselves at Dish, from the homemade soups, green beans and asparagus, to the potato and pasta salads.

I found another place that I can keep going back to in Boulder! Dish is awesome because of their fresh food made from scratch (and you can really taste it) and everything is tasty. Their large selection of sandwiches, deli side dishes and their soup of the day are all very well thought out. Their French Chocolate Cookie (I think it was called...) was really good with a gooey, chocolaty center inside. I think I'm going to be one of their regulars now. It's that kind of a place. Easy going, fresh and their yummy un-boring choices are what's going to make me want to keep going back.

* Star one is for their large selection of mouth watering goodies
** Star two is for their healthy selection of mouth watering goodies
*** The third star is for representing tons of local Colorado food suppliers
**** Our fourth star is for its cute central location
(Star five was taken away due to hard-to-find parking and limited seating options)

Dish Gourmet is located on Boulder's popular Pearl street and is a great small eatery that offers salads and sandwiches, as well as prepared gourmet goodies like seafood enchiladas, BBQ ribs, and homemade gnocchi with bolognese sauce as well as other mouth watering yummies.  

You never see this place empty and it is the perfect location to stop by for a lunch or dunch by yourself or with a friend.  This is also an ideal spot to pick up appetizers such as cured meats, olives and cheeses.

I came here with my pregnant friend not too long ago and she was out of control... Ordering cupcakes before her meal even arrived, (*gasp) and lacking eye contact due to her longing look at the cold cut case.  If the service was not as fast as it was, I am sure she would have torn the place down!

Strategy: This place is small, and with hardly any seats.  It is one of those kinds of places that you notice one table as soon as you walk in, so you put your coat and your water bottle on the table so nobody else takes it.  Avoid this drama and go during off-beak lunch hours.  You know, 1:00-3:00pm.
