“Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam; Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.” *wipes tear from eye* Though work and family may take a Coloradan far from home, the Centennial State can never truly leave a person, as demonstrated by these 10 undying habits that prove you can never take Colorado out of the Coloradan:

1. No matter where we go, we ask to see the craft beer menu...

Listen: We aren't trying to be snotty by doing this... we are just used to the best!
2. ...and to have our meal smothered in green chile.

It doesn't matter if it's a burger, burrito, blueberry pie, or birthday cake; if it is edible, it can be smothered.
3. When we order a pizza elsewhere, we fully expect the crust to be soft, fluffy, and dippable.

You New Yorkers, Californians, and Chicagoans got NOTHING on Beau Jo's and their Mountain-Style pies!
4. When it comes to buying a new car, there is only one place to look.

I'm sorry; what is this Ford and Chevrolet that you speak of?
5. No matter the distance, we opt for biking...

Whether it be adventuring or commuting to and from work, we will almost always choose to get there via two wheels.

How the heck are we supposed to know which direction is west (or east, depending on your location) if we have no visual reference?!
10. We fully expect restaurants to serve an extensive brunch menu.

Million dollar idea: Someone needs to design bumper stickers (for our Subarus, of course) that say "Snooze made me do it."
