I'm quite convinced that doughnuts are the next big thing. Take a look around town---from the offerings at D Bar Desserts [2] and Rack & Rye Gastropub [3] to Tin Star Cafe & Donut Haus [4] in Evergreen and Sugar Lips [5]' weekend stand---and you'll find these delectable treats making a strong showing. (I can hardly wait for The Hole [6], a beer and doughnut shop on Tennyson Street, to open.) The latest discovery came during Sunday brunch at Salt Bistro [7] in Boulder. Chef Bradford Heap's house-made glazed doughnuts arrive five to a plate and so hot you'll burn your over-eager fingers. Wait as long as you can and then take a bite---first, straight up to appreciate the sugary glaze, and then dipped into the whipped-cream topped, cinnamon-spiced chocolate. Ahh yes, heaven. Bonus: Temper the sweetness with Salt's ever-changing vegetable tasting platter. Sunday's included a riff on spanakopita, creamy risotto made with farro, roasted beats and zucchini, and steamed green beans with crème fraîche. 1047 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-444-7258
