Dusti Budd credits fate in finding a home for Capitol Deli, her East Coast-style deli, in the heart of Rifle.<\/p>\n

She hadn\u2019t been looking to move the deli, which opened in May of 2018 in New Castle at Lakota Clubhouse. Budd said during a conversation with one of her purveyors the Railroad location was mentioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually it was kind of weird, this place fell in my lap,\u201d Budd said.<\/p>\n

Budd, who has been in the industry for her entire working career, knew at an early age she wanted to run her own restaurant, her father chef Stephen Lloyd operated the original Capitol Deli in El Jebel before selling in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always wanted to run it, when he sold it I wasn\u2019t quite in a position to yet,\u201d Budd said.<\/p>\n

She began doing business plans and taking college courses, and it all just kind of came together almost two years ago.<\/p>\n

Budd said they were really busy during the summer at their previous location, but during the winter it died down, so she jumped at the chance for the old location of Milano\u2019s Pizzeria in the 800 block of Railroad Avenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talked to the owner of the building, and here we are,\u201d Budd said.<\/p>\n

After closing the New Castle location in November, Budd began remodeling parts of the building\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my work was in the kitchen directly \u2014 we ripped everything out, put in a new hood, and restructured it for a deli, not a pizzeria,\u201d Budd said.<\/p>\n

The deli opened two weeks ago Friday, and Budd said business has been busy so far.<\/p>\n

Formerly located in New Castle, Capitol Deli recently relocated to Railroad Avenue in Rifle.<\/strong>

\u201cIt has been crazy, and we are real appreciative to that,\u201d Budd said. \u201cIt can be overwhelming at the same time, as we move our training process and people getting more comfortable things will smooth out a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 12 employees, Budd said one of the hardest parts is training new staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d love to try and start training before we opened, but realistically you really can\u2019t fully train until you\u2019re going,\u201d Budd said. \u201cI want people to understand we are trying our hardest. We appreciate all the support since we opened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The East Coast-style deli menu items include the traditional Philly cheesesteak and Reuben sandwiches, rotisserie chicken and ribs. Budd said they also make some sandwiches that her dad and his partners came up with over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cA popular one we started at the New Castle location was our rotisserie prime rib, and we will do that every third Thursday of the month,\u201d Budd said.<\/p>\n

Capitol Deli also offers catering with their full menu, and do special request with notice.<\/p>\n

As the deli gets settled in, Budd has some plans for the summer and the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owner is building on a nice patio, so this summer hopefully we can utilize that a little more,\u201d Budd said.<\/p>\n

Budd said she also plans to work with the city of Rifle and the state of Colorado on trying to secure a beer and wine license.<\/p>\n

But for Budd, it\u2019s about family first, and the experience with the people she meets and comes across.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve met a lot of neat people and supporters throughout, including local restaurant owners. That\u2019s what it\u2019s about I think,\u201d Budd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing in the restaurant industry you have to continuously look for ways to improve, grow, open new doors, and being able to deliver something that people enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n
