Tangerine Boulder Hours: A Story of Passion and Perseverance

Alec Schuler, the owner of Tangerine restaurants in Boulder and Lafayette, has a story that is as unique as his culinary journey. His passion for food and people began at a young age, when he started working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant on Long Island, New York. Little did he know that this was just the beginning of his incredible adventure.

Fast forward to 2009, Alec opened his first restaurant, Igura, in Boulder. It was here that he honed his skills and learned the importance of delivering an exceptional culinary experience. After graduating from the Natural Gourmet Institute in Manhattan, Alec spent time as a camp counselor, where he refined his people skills and developed a deeper understanding of what makes people happy.

Alec's journey took him to CU, where he became a triple major in the sciences. However, it was during an internship in the field that he realized that connecting with people and food was more fulfilling than pursuing a career in science. He quickly moved into serving as a server at one of the top restaurants on the Jersey shore, 410 Bank Street.

With his natural talent for gab, customer experience, and anticipating client needs, Alec rose through the ranks to become a master server. His dedication and passion for food led him to open Tangerine in Boulder, which has since become a staple in the community.

Unfortunately, due to lackluster sales caused by the pandemic, Tangerine's Longmont location was forced to close indefinitely, effective Sunday. However, Alec remains committed to his customers and is working tirelessly to refocus on Boulder and Lafayette, while cutting back on operations in other locations.

In an effort to support local restaurants during these challenging times, Alec encourages customers to patronize their favorite eateries whenever possible. 'We need to put out a plea to customers about how serious this is,' he said, emphasizing the importance of community support.

Despite the current challenges, Tangerine Boulder remains committed to providing exceptional food and service to its loyal customers. With Alec's dedication and passion at the helm, you can be sure that your dining experience will be nothing short of extraordinary.
