Armed with an English degree. Pete Turner opened the first Illegal Pete's in August 1995 on the Hill in Boulder. His inspiration came from the Mission District of San Francisco -- the same spot that inspired Steve Ells when he'd opened the original Chipotle three years earlier. "The style of food was a revelation to me -- with the fresh grilled meats and freshly prepared sauces as well as just the hand-held, portable style of the food," Turner says on the Illegal Pete's website. "I thought to myself 'if I had this food in Boulder on The Hill when I went to school I would have eaten there all the time,' so I pursued it."
Food isn't the only draw at Illegal Pete's, of course. There's also the company's dedication to the music scene, with free live shows at the stores -- and also the "starving artist" program, a partnership with Suburban Home Records that feeds weary bands on the road. And since the South Broadway location got not just a liquor license but a cabaret license, you can count on shows at this spot, too.
