They\u2019re bringing a strong sushi and ramen focus, as well as other small plates, with dishes unique to Odd Rabbit and not tied to a particular tradition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Asian food. There\u2019s a lot of Japanese ingredients and tradition into it. But a lot of the deal was to not be stuck in a box and get to branch out a little bit,\u201d Chris Teigland said. \u201cWe\u2019re just taking the liberty to do what we want to, and it\u2019s just good food at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There will be a few ramen options initially, focused on a rich, hearty chicken broth, compared to the tonkotsu-style pork broth used in Denver. The menu also features around eight nigiri options and a half-dozen hand rolls, as well as a few sashimi plates and a crispy rice nigiri. Small, shareable plates include chicken wings glazed in fish sauce caramel, pickled crab claws, and a sourdough scallion pancake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not tied down to, \u2018Hey, you come here for that one specific bowl that you get in Denver, too.\u2019 We\u2019ll have different options here, and a chance to be creative in different ways,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like the goal or vision is to see people sit down and order stuff from all over the menu and get to share and try a bunch of different things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There will also be large-format, non-noodle dishes, including the Teiglands\u2019 first-ever double cheeseburger, served with American cheese, house pickles, cured cabbage, miso mayo and pepper jelly on a brioche bun.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chris Teigland acknowledged that, in the context of their other foods, the cheeseburger is \u201can oddball, but there\u2019s just so many people that come in with their friends that maybe don\u2019t want to try raw fish or are scared to try ramen. But I think everybody loves a double cheeseburger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cheeseburger typifies their approach and even the naming of Odd Rabbit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of it was coming up with a name that\u2019s just not tied to anything so that we could be nontraditional and just do things that we wanted,\u201d he said. \u201cRabbits are clever, cunning,\u201d he said, adding that the idea was to be unexpected with the name.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cWe kind of thought when people read it, they\u2019re at least gonna say, \u2018Well, I want to know what they\u2019re doing.\u2019 So hopefully it\u2019s a good way to draw people in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bouldermovingguide.com\/?p=48\">Boulder City Council moves to keep airport open indefinitely, limiting future housing options<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The space, about 3,500 square feet, has seating for 90 guests, including a 10-seat chef\u2019s counter, as well as an additional 1,500 square feet and 40 seats on the patio, which they plan to open for summer service.<\/p>\n<p>Ariana Teigland said they went with a feel similar to glo, with some natural wood accents, pops of color and bright murals, and lanterns like those in the Denver space. \u201cIt\u2019s upscale, but it\u2019s really fun and approachable, too,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They looked at a number of spaces in Denver and considered different areas around Boulder before being drawn to the space on Arapahoe, just down the road from Blackbelly Market &amp; Restaurant, where she and Chris first met.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fun to be back here and bring it full circle,\u201d she said. \u201cThis [space] felt nice and not totally out of the way, but tucked away, a little bit quieter. There\u2019s parking, which is something we love about glo. There\u2019s a beautiful patio, which we love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a bigger kitchen than their space in Denver, which allows them to branch out and offer more variety on the menu. Odd Rabbit\u2019s sushi chef is Stephen Nguyen, who Chris Teigland met years ago at Temaki Den and who has just finished helping Uncle in Denver start its sushi program. Sakima Isaac, who has been a part of the Boulder County culinary scene for years, is serving as chef de cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>The bar manager, Ali \u00d6zkaya, is placing a strong emphasis on sake, as well as seasonal cocktails such as Orochi\u2019s Revenge with sesame fat-washed bourbon, Bermutto sake-based vermouth, and bitters; White Rabbit with gin, mastic, Suze and tobacco bitters; Bees &amp; Flowers with Japanese whisky, shiso, honey, lemon and soda; and Shoryuken with shochu, aquavit, kimchi and vermouth, as well as a range of zero-proof offerings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur beverage program is built with the same intention as the kitchen,\u201d Ariana Teigland said, \u201charnessing high-quality ingredients paired with thoughtful technique and a sense of play, whether that\u2019s through experimental cocktails and mocktails, curated sake flights, or unexpected pairings. We want guests to feel both surprised and completely at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Odd Rabbit will be open Monday through Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 4 to 10 p.m. Reservations can be made here.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bouldermovingguide.com\/?p=47\">Boulder County will lay off more employees and may cut programs to close $13.2 million budget deficit<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team behind Denver\u2019s glo Noodle House expands to East Boulder with a broader, more experimental menu designed for sharing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
