IN WITH THE NEW
Ella, a restaurant at Ideal Market in old North Boulder, is closing its doors after a short run. They replaced Radda this past winter, but couldn’t make it work at the Broadway shop. Ella will be replaced by a new restaurant, Scott’s on Alpine, in the next few weeks.

Another is a barbecue beef and quinoa blend burrito with Korean chili sauce and pickled veggies all wrapped in a flaxseed tortilla. And the last is a barbecue salad with beef, corn, seasoned black beans, and Greek yogurt ranch dressing.
