The Popcorn Wagon has been an Aspen staple for years. It is exactly what it sounds like--a wagon that serves popcorn. now i know what you think--nothing good comes from a wagon: chuck wagon, a turnip that fell off the wagon, looney wagon, paddy wagon, i can go on for days here. however, the popcorn wagon is an exception to that rule!
Popcorn wagon seems to reinvent itself (perhaps under new owners) every few years. Currently, the popcorn wagon is across the street from the Wheeler Opera House and next to Pacifica. When you're sick of paying 9 gagillion dollars for a meal, and just want some chow for cheap and fast, this is the place! They only have a few offerings-- popcorn (of course, 2 bux for a good-sized bag), gyros (AWESOME, 8.75), the gregorian (i think thats what it was called...Turkey or Roast beef on warm pita with gyro fixins), a loaded hotdog (about 5 bux), cheese steaks (10.75) and a smore crepe. They have seating outside around the cart, and a fire pit to warm up the chilly Aspen nights!
One tip: the wagon is cash only. come prepared!
the cooks are always friendly and aim to please. give the popcorn wagon a try, it will hit the spot! read more
