You don't want In-N-Out. You want Five Guys.

I suppose both would be acceptable.

EngiNerd · #**102** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 3:46 PM**

We have Five Guys.

FrancoRey · #**103** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 4:53 PM**

Thanks for making my lunch decision for me.

You know, all this talk of burgers makes me want some Smashburger.

Oh wait, you don't don't have Smashburger where you're at. Too bad.

I'm eating smashburger right now. It's a nutritional catastrophe, but it's damn good. Have yet to try five guys, but I've heard good things.

EngiNerd · #**106** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 6:56 PM**

I wasn't crazy about Five Guys, yeah its cheap and you get an insane amount of fries, but to me it was just another burger. I prefer Smashburger, Lark Burger, and Red Robin to Five Guys.

Local chest-thumping aside, I tend to think of burgers as belonging to one of three categories:
- Fast food burger
- Restaurant burger (like you'd get at Applebee's)
- Craft burger

In-N-Out is good for fast food, probably the best, but definitely not at the level of any craft burger. Five Guys is better than any fast food (including In-N-Out IMO), but still inferior to just about any genuine craft burgers. Red Robin would be a place that produces craft burgers, although non-chains are almost always better.

I've honestly never heard of SmashBurger until now. Will have to be on the lookout.

Yea you guys made me very hungry for burgers.. So I actually did H-Burger for lunch. Not fast food but fantastic burgers. I love Smashburger for a good fast heart stopping fix.

Wrong thread, you guys!

I had me a good Cuban sammich at Meade Street for lunch, but a burglar sounds good, too.

Moved at The Dirt's request.

Haha, I was going to make the same comment Dirt beat me to it!

Dinner suggestions before the baseball game? Cuban sounds yummy.

Brainpathology · #**113** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 9:57 PM**

so jealous that you're watching the Game today

didn't the rox make two new restaurant/bar things in the stadium? have you tried them yet?

bunt_q · #**114** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 10:23 PM**

If there weren't so many games and if tickets weren't so easy and cheap to buy on game day, I'd seriously consider season tickets. I'll regret that if we make the playoffs...

Actually haven't tried the new in-ballpark food yet. I'll let you know though.

EngiNerd · #**115** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 10:44 PM**

LOL, this IS probably the best place for discussing burgers.

Smashburger down by the new Target in Sheridan. I was far from impressed. Mediocre in the fast food category, on par with Burger King.

Red Top down in Colorado Springs (and Pueblo I believe) is a yummy little classic local joint.

CharlesCO · #**119** Posted **Apr 16, 2011, 3:16 AM**

The best burger place in Denver is Park Burger in my opinion. Though I now regret posting this on here because everytime I go there, it gets progressively more crowded and harder to get a table without a wait.

RyanD · #**120** Posted **Apr 16, 2011, 3:35 PM**

Did anybody make it to the Denver Burger Battle thing they did last summer/fall? I'm curious how that turnout went.. I know Cherry Cricket (amazing) / H-Burger (also amazing) won..
