Juicy Burger-6830 S. Yosimite Centennial
Well it's been a very slow summer for me and the Mrs. but we did check out a new Burger Joint today....Being the Burger Junkie I am, I got to say this is the best Burger in Denver I have found yet.
I'm not one of these guys who gets impressed by fancy schmancy burgers that are a 1/4 lb patty hidden at the bottom of a 6 inch pile of exotic ingredients. While it's interesting at times to check those places out, they do nothing for me...When I want a Burger I want No Frills straight up and down Burger Medium rare with Lots of mayo, ketchup, pickles ,grilled onions mustard and gooey melted cheese...if you gotta get exotic throw some bacon and mushrooms on it but that's it. Juicy Burger is just a little Burger joint they Charbroil the Burgers and man that Burger from the first bite is just Awesome!!! They serve great Vienna Beef Hotdogs as well again nothing super fancy. The Burgers are just no frills the only criticism I have is they do offer a lamb burger but they don't serve it with Feta Cheese(I know it's a little fancy but it's lamb!!!) Great sides the Onion Rings are the thin kind which I prefer and the Fries are good and if you get the cheese fries you get enough cheese you have to use a Fork!!!! Great Shakes and Malts made with Hagen das Ice Cream....They also serve a Carbonated Beverage (POP) that only a Motor City Boy can Appreciate...The Best Ginger Ale ever made Vernors...Prices are extremely reasonable...Check it out you'll be back!!!

Proper Fish and Chips
GB Fish and Chips-1311 South Broadway
Nice little Fish and Chips Stand...Great batter doesn't overpower the Fish...I recommend the Combo Dinner you get plenty to eat and a little bit of Squid, Cod, Talapia, scallops, and shrimp...everything but the Oysters...Also it does this ex Michigander's heart good to find a decent Pastie in this town....They lose a couple of points for authenticity, when they use potatoes instead of rutabagas (it's a Michigan thing, what can I say?) but it's still pretty tasty...

Burnt Toast
Toast-Cherry Creek
Me and the Mrs. have heard a lot about this place, and always looking for cool places to go for a Sunday morning breakfast we thought we'd give it a try. We were very disappointed...The food was good enough...Both of us had the Chai Tea infused French Toast which was very tasty, but we felt it was a little pricey. The Mrs. who is a coffee fanatic made the comment that at a place who's claim to fame is their breakfast you would expect their coffee to be outstanding she rated it just average (trust me this woman knows her coffee). Also the service , or at least our server was just plain lousy. There are better places to go for less money. It definitely was not worth making a special trip for.

Upscale Dining
Morton's Steak House-Wynkoop Denver
I was in the mood for a really good Steak the other night. I love going to true Steak Houses, Went to Morton's for the First time (and it won't be the last). Everything was top notch, The Service was impeccable,. started off with the Bacon wrapped Shrimp with apricot chutney for an appetizer, the Bone in Rib Eye was just top choice and cooked to perfection...The steamed Asparagus was as big as the cigars I smoke...All very tasty. I especially was impressed by the waitress squeegeeing the breadcrumbs of my table nice touch. This is definitely high falutin and it ain't cheap but just one bite and it will be well wotrth the money.
