Xmas day delivered me an envelope of vouchers to experience burger meals in the country that knows them best. So the thanks for the research below belong to Matt who heard my wish to Santa Claus, Colorado branch.
Here's a visual fix on what we've been talking about:
- What is at first remarkable about Five Guys, is that the guys who set up the chain had the nerve to do so in the US. The competition everywhere else in the world would be easier. In the UK they would have had a market to themselves. With all the salad and relish options added to a burger, the resulting bun is level with my eyes. The fries deliver in quantity. The drink is bottomless. The burger is tasty indeed, eating it is pleasurably messy.
- Downstairs at Eric's in Breckenridge I had the tastiest burger of all. The bun was crusty too. Totally brilliant.
- larkburger in Denver offers a shop with a smarter appearance. For a dollar more, they offer the option to add Truffle flavour to the fries or the burger. Here is a very tasty burger. A flame-grilled finish could have made it perfect for me. Overall the package has more style than your average outlet and the idea to add truffle oil is genius.
- Smashburger serve a open burger that is not only convenient, it looks and tastes great too. The range of choice in the menu was great. Both Smarhburger outlets visited were a touch cramped for space. However my burger was one of the best burgers I'd ever enjoyed.
Here's a visual fix on what we've been talking about:
