Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
With forecasted temperatures well into the 90s today, an ice-cold drink could be your best friend today. Better yet, an ice-cold shake. It just so happens that Smashburger, the homegrown burger chain, is turning eight today, and to celebrate it's unveiling a limited edition Birthday Cake Golden Oreo Shake and giving guests a buy-one-get-one-free deal on the new shakes today. The Birthday Cake Shake features hand-spun Vanilla Haagen-Dazs ice cream, milk and crushed birthday cake golden Oreo cookies. Head to smashburger.com for more details or to find a location near you, and keep cool while saving some green today.

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.
