What Is Colorado Cuisine?

This is a question of passionate discussion among my friends, family, and people I meet.  Of course being from Pueblo where green chili is more of a necessity at any meal rather than an option my opinion always will sway to where I was raised and the food I love.   Which made me think that Colorado cuisine is not only regional but diverse and unique among other states.  I feel it is important to not only keep these traditions alive but to recognize our food culture as apart of our identity.  Whether you are from Denver or Rocky Ford everyone has a story about the food they grew up eating.  So we would like to here your stories and what types of food you think best represent our state?
