Fans of bourbon chicken know there s only one place to get the goods in Denver: Bourbon Grill, which has been slinging big, cheap and delicious orders of tangy-sweet bird with just the right amount of char since 2002. But East Colfax Avenue is a long way from Boulder County, so one chef decided to make his own version of bourbon chicken for the people of Lafayette.
Chris Rubeck launched Ruby Ru s Street Eatery as a food truck four years ago, serving bourbon chicken atop white rice and in tacos with grilled pineapple and slaw. The combos proved so popular that Rubeck just opened a brick-and-mortar version of Ruby Ru s at 1280 Centaur Village Drive in Lafayette.
