"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

Cheyenne Mountain Resort (Colorado Springs, CO)

The Cheyenne Mountain Resort served a pretty good burger for just being a lobby bar. We both got the bleu cheese burger. V had waffle fries and S had sweet potato fries.


















Look at those baby condiments in the background! A true favorite of S.

The Broadmoor Hotel (Colorado Springs, CO)

The Broadmoor is a legendary hotel. And the food was excellent and easily lived up to the reputation of the hotel. I loved the fancy presentation of the condiments. Presentation is everything.
