A Must Stop when Skiing Copper Mountain Colorado
When every item on the menu looks so good you can’t chose, you know you are in the right spot. Toast & Co. at the Copper Mountain Resort in Colorado is the dining destination not to be missed. Located just outside the main square in picturesque Center Village you can walk right over from the slopes then hop right back on a lift and keep riding. They only serve breakfast and lunch so don’t wait too long or you might miss out for that day.
All of the options we tried at Toast & Co were amazing and trust me we were repeat visitors. French toast, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, steak and eggs… how can you pick between pumpkin ginger cakes and caramelized pineapple pancakes? Or between the BBA sandwich, thick cut bacon cherry wood smoked, fried egg, bacon aioli, greens, roasted tomatoes, avocado on a telera roll, or the Chuck’s sandwich, a toasted pretzel roll, crispy prosciutto, scrambled eggs, Swiss cheese and a Beemster Gouda sauce? Come on!
I know you are dying to hear what we did finally pick. (PS. we took both of the above mentioned sandwiches to go and thoroughly enjoyed each, but since I am partial to avocado I would say the BBA was my top pick.) Alright enough suspense. I sat down to the Amaretto French Toast which sounds amazing right off the bat and just gets better. Made from slices of moist fresh banana bread this french toast is then dipped in an Amaretto custard to deepen the flavors. A soft mountain of Chai spiced whipped mascarpone is a decadent addition. Perhaps my favorite detail is the candied pecans for that final sweet crunch.
To balance out that sugary delight I confess to stealing some of my friends marinated beef tenderloin steak and eggs. The meat was medium rare as advertised and melt in your mouth delicious. The house chimichurri sauce they put on took this dish to the next level. Eggs, toast, and potatoes finish off this dish which might sound pretty standard, but they were anything but. I am usually a pass on breakfast potatoes, if I am going to have the carbs I choose the toast. The potatoes at Toast & Co. changed my mind completely, worth every carb.
They also have a full bar and great coffee drinks to get you moving and compliment whichever tummy filler you prefer. Toast & Co. has everything you could want. I adore that they are “Colorado Proud” and use products from our local Colorado companies. Also that all of their eggs are 100% cage free/non GMO/free range eggs from nearby Denver. Now how can you pick anywhere else to eat while visiting Copper Mountain Resort? Ski/snowboard the mountain to build up your appetite then sit down for a great meal at Toast & Co.

Their slogan is “For the love of Mac n’ Cheese!” and their food lives up to it. 
My favorite is the L.A. Street Mac & Cheese which includes a beef hot dog, bacon, grilled onions, and bell peppers. What could be better than two childhood favorites mashed and mixed in just the way I love. Bites of delicious and juicy hot dog coated in cheese sauce is a delight that made me smile while the onions and peppers raised the level of taste beyond what my mom cut up on my kiddy plate. This is a great mix of nostalgia and quality food in a bowl.
If you want an order you can wrap your hands around Roni Macaroni’s BBQ Pulled Pork Melt stands out with their house made pulled pork, mac and cheese, and more sweet, sweet grilled onions. Using mac and cheese to add another level to this sandwich is a skillful move. A thick melt on perfectly toasted bread is a texture treat as well. The buttery crunch of the bread, the smooth cheesy elbow macaroni, come together to compliment the BBQ and tender onions in each delicious bite.
