Colorado's best bologna sandwich is at Blackbelly in Boulder

What's new: A handful of area restaurants have reinvented the staple, but the best is served at lunch at Blackbelly in Boulder.

What makes it great: My $12 takeout order came partially squashed in a paper bag, just like when I was a kid, and featured potato chips and cheddar cheese on thick slabs of bologna.

• The most delicious element was the pickled onions and jalapeños blended into the dijonnaise.

The bottom line: It was a messy delight.
