If you are anything like my family, you probably grill a few times a month... right? That being said, you are probably wondering why I am listing a hot dog joint on this list... right?

Denverites, rejoice! After a fire closed our favorite burger joint for several months, the Cherry Cricket is FINALLY getting ready to reopen! Let's celebrate with an infamous, made-to-order, and surprisingly affordable burger and fries meal!
My absolute favorite place to get breakfast in Denver is at the AMAZING Denver Biscuit Co., which serves homemade "Biscuits a Mile High" (like my favorite -- the Strawberry Shortcake!) at a completely doable price.
