It’s hard to tell which part of the Denver County Fair is better: the food, the festivities or the half-sick, half-elated, entirely dazed feeling you get when you’re done with them.

By the end of…

Last year, the Scarlet Ranch swingers club moved from its space at 424 Broadway to a place in the southern ‘burbs known for an altogether different kind of meat: the former Northwoods Inn.

In less than three weeks, there’s going to be a war in the Mile High City, but instead of weapons, this brawl is all about the beef, the bun, condiments, grease, blood and char. Twelve superpower burger houses and restaurants — Larkburger, Citygrille, Crave Real Burgers, Mateo, TAG, Highland Tap…
Did I finish it? No, of course not. Did I even come close? Not by a long shot. But I’m sure that some of you with bigger appetites (and, sadly, much small waistlines than I), definitely could. Go for it. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who…
