BOULDER WEEKLY STAFF
TRY THIS WEEK:
Babbo Pizza @ Carelliâs of Boulder WEâVE ORDERED a lot
of takeout and delivery meals from Boulder County restaurants over the last two months, but we must say, our recent experience ordering from Carelliâs of Boulder was exceptional. We were greeted with a friendly conversation on the phone while ordering and, at a distance, when they delivered our meal to the car. Looking at the flowered and shaded patio made us long for a time â which is coming quite soon â when we can dine outdoors there, but getting the babbo pizza to-go was good enough for now. Itâs a thin-crust pie with well-apportioned basil, organic tomato slices, garlic, mozzarella and fontina cheeses, and an olive oil glaze. The crust is unique â gentle folds create more surface area for crispness.
BABBO PIZZA, $12.95-$26.

1 n Drink this: Oskar Blues Breweryâs BA20 Vol. 1: All Monde
n COVID-19-related deaths continue at Colorado meat-processing plants and grocery stores
The first in what will hopefully be a lengthy series of barrel-aged imperial stouts, Oskar Bluesâ BA20 Vol. 1: All Monde is exceptional. Aged in bourbon barrels with toasted almonds and Madagascar vanilla beans, the pitch black stout with an espresso-tinged head is like a glass of rocky road ice cream with a boozy finish. The mouth is big, and the back kicks with whiskey. Vanilla balances out the heat, and sweet and creamy malt builds a body worthy of these flavors.
ON MAY 17, THE EIGHTH employee of the JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley died of COVID-19. The United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) local union group, Local 7, says the death of Tin Aye and the seven others before her, is the result of a slow rollout of safety measures from the company. There have been 316 cases at the JBS plant, UFCW says. Additionally, an employee at a King Soopers, a subsidiary of Kroger, in Denver also recently passed away. In an interview earlier this month with Boulder Weekly, UCFW Local 7 President Kim Cordova said she was concerned about rising numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths among the stateâs grocery store workers.
