Can I let you in on a little secret? Denverites love to eat… like, a lot. That being said, it should come as no surprise that Denver has a wide variety of unique foods. These iconic foods in Denver include the following:
Green chili is essentially the Colorado state food. We cannot get enough of this perfectly spiced, meaty goodness! One of our favorite ways to eat it? Covering a delicious burrito! (Pictured is the Kitchen Sink Burrito from Sam's No. 3.)
Did I mention we also enjoy green chili INSIDE of a breakfast burrito? The best kind comes from Santiago's.

Since the cheeseburger was invented in Denver, it only makes sense that it is a regional favorite! While there are several great places to get a juicy beef patty, our personal favorite would have to be the Cherry Cricket.

Oh, you tall glass of yeast-fermented goodness... how we love you! Since Colorado is home to hundreds of microbreweries, it is hard for me to choose a favorite. Which is yours?
A true rite of passage for any Denverite is chowing down on a plate of Rocky Mountain Oysters from the iconic Buckhorn Exchange.
