In denver last month, I visited the Cherry Cricket. What may seem like a typical crowded sports bar at first, turns out to be the place for one hell of a burger.

Perfectly sized thin patty, well cooked* and seasoned, and all the fixins to match.

My fellow diners and I ordered four different types of burgers, the shroom burger (grilled bermuda onions, shrooms, and smokey cheddar), a green chili burger  (strips of chilis with smoked cheddar), a burger with smoked cheddar, bacon, and onions, and a classic tomato lettuce and cheese. All were delicious.

You can choose from 1/2 to 1/4 pound for you burger, double it up, and add whatever you like.

I heard a rumor that they also offer a “goober” burger – which consists of peanut butter and egg toppings. Please contact us if you are brave enough to try this concoction!

As for me, I will be heading back to the cherry cricket on my next visit to Colorado, its been a while since I finished my burger entirely, and wished there was another half for me to move on to.
