Biker Jim, aka Jim Pittenger, a former repo man who slings Denver’s best wieners from his polished stainless-steel carts, knew he’d struck culinary gold when acerbic food mouthpiece Tony Bourdain declared publicly, to a full audience at the Temple Buell Theater, that he’d “been to the mountaintop and found enlightenment” at Jim’s stand at 16th […]

Showing 1 - 13 of 13
Hot dogs are high art at Billy’s Gourmet Hot Dogs, which brings a taste of Chicago to the Ballpark neighborhood. Billy’s serves all-beef Vienna dogs, homemade sausage, veggie and even salmon dogs spruced up with an array of fixings, from traditional kraut, onions and mustard to hot peppers, cheeses and chili. One of many house […]
Luanne and Joe Margotte opened this joint well over a decade ago with the idea of transplanting a few hundred square feet of Chicago in the fertile soil of metro Denver. The game on the radio is the Cubs or the Bears; at the counter is a stash of Fannie May candies, boxes of Salerno […]
After being run by new management in summer 2022, the Bailey landmark is now in the hands of owner Ron Aigner’s son, Jay; the hot dog-shaped hot dog stand reopened just in time for Memorial Day weekend 2023 and is slinging a small menu of classic frankfurters and sausages.

Juicy Burgers & Dogs is located in a minimalist space in the corner of a small strip mall in Centennial. And like the space, a Juicy burger isn’t all gussied up. Instead, a hand-molded, properly salt-and-peppered patty — made of freshly ground beef, lamb or chicken, all procured from Colorado — is char-grilled until it […]

While Pink Tank set up shop inside Pub on Pearl in May 2017, its menu remains staunchly loyal to its food truck roots. While other trucks hustle burgers, pizza and ice cream –not that there’s anything wrong with those — Pink Tank is where you go for the F-Bomb, a hefty hot dog weighted with […]
The original Uber Sausage opened in 2011 in a tiny space on East Colfax Avenue. For their sophomore effort, though, owners Marco Macchiaroli, Alex Gschwend, Brad Arguello and Henry DeMetteis signed on for a much bigger, two-level space on the edge of LoHi. This Uber, which opened in spring 2013, offers the familiar sausage sandwiches […]
Uber Sausage got its start as a food truck that slung sausages, then graduated to a tiny space on East Colfax Avenue in 2011. The spot may be small, but the homemade sausages are big, and big on flavor. “We did the truck first, but I knew that I wanted to do a gourmet sausage-sandwich […]

A self-proclaimed “Chicago” bar, Wyman’s No. 5 has all the trimmings of a Windy City spot: The Bears, Blackhawks and Cubs all get television priority on game days, and an extensive menu overflows with Chicago-style dogs and both deep-dish and tavern-style pizza options.
