And according to Travel + Leisure, if you're after a burger, there are few better places in the country to get one than right here in Denver.
The magazine just listed the best burger cities in the country, and Denver came in fourth, behind Houston, Salt Lake City and Providence -- but ahead of both Los Angeles, which boasts In-n-Out and Umami Burgers, and New York City, where Shake Shack reigns supreme. Evidence of our burger prowess: HBurger's Angus beef patty -- topped with Hatch green chiles and tomato jam -- as well as the classic cheeseburger at Bud's Bar in Sedalia, which has received numerous Westword Best of awards, including Best Burger in 2009.
We also weighed in on our own five favorite burgers in Denver after we gave Tarbell's the award for Best Burger in Best of Denver 2011.
