Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
This week we cooked up a list of the ten best burgers in Denver; Meadowlark Kitchen, which Gretchen Kurtz reviews this week, landed in the top ten with an egg-and-bacon extravaganza that she says is perfect for people who are "up for whatever." Another lark made the list, too: Larkburger, which we praised for its simplicity and attention to temperature.
In beer news, Jonathan Shikes brought word that River North Brewery will be moving from its home of the last three years, possibly out of the River North district altogether. Nearby in Five Points, Mark Antonation kicked off a month of soul food with a visit to the Welton Street Cafe. In other news:

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
