Bet you didn’t know you had a Taiwanese mom (unless you’re Taiwanese, in which case, bets off). But it’s true, because Edwin Zoe’s mother became everybody’s mother when she started cooking at his tiny homestyle-Chinese counter joint in Boulder. Now there’s a Union Station outpost -- bigger and shinier than the beloved original, with a built-in coffee bar called the Orient Espresso, but otherwise much the same. So get ready to devour plump and juicy potstickers, suck down duck soup or egg noodles in pork gravy, demolish deeply savory lion’s head meatballs while knocking back a Tsing Tao, and finally grapple with the guilt as you think about your real mom asking why you never come home for supper anymore.
