An Austin diner is launching its first location outside of Central Texas in Denver\u2019s West Highland neighborhood this week, breathing life into an ample corner property amid mounds of cheddar hashbrowns and biscuits.<\/p>\n

The operators of Paperboy first announced their expansion<\/a> to Denver in October. Founder Ryan Harms conceived the restaurant as a food trailer in 2015 and opened its second Austin locale last year. It\u2019s one of Austin\u2019s best-rated brunch spots by customers and local publications, including Eater and Austin Monthly Magazine.<\/p>\n

Its Colorado arrival repurposes the interior of the former Rooted Craft Kitchen and FNG (3940 W. 32nd Ave., Denver) as a blue-and-yellow diner serving breakfast and lunch through the early afternoon. Its menu of Southwest-inspired dishes \u2014 cheddar and poblano biscuits, pork hash, chorizo and potato empanadas, cornmeal pancakes and mascarpone-topped cinnamon toast \u2014 and cocktails are translated to the Denver location.<\/p>\n

Two of the concept\u2019s leaders, including executive chef Pat Jackson, are overseeing operations in Denver.<\/p>\n

The West Highland location sits 75 people inside and 20 on its patio. Paperboy opens at 8 a.m. every day, closing at 2 p.m. during the week and 3 p.m. Friday and over the weekend.<\/p>\n
