TAG Burger Bar, 1222 Madison St., owned by prolific chef Troy Guard (TAG, Bubu, Guard and Grace, Los Chingones) was named among the 33 best burgers across the country, according to the second annual Thrillist.com list.
According to Thrillist, “Many of the burgers on this list (we have seven holdovers we couldn’t possibly change, and 26 new entries) embody a commitment to almost austere excellence, sacrificing the show-tricks of crazy meat toppings in favor of nailing the genuine article.”
Here’s what Thrillist wrote about TAG Burger Bar’s TAG American Slam burger:
“The man behind a slew of successful Denver-area restaurants opened up his burger-focused shop a few years ago, and it has been a Mile High favorite, while also dominating in area burger contests, ever since. While there are over-the-top builds common to new-school burger shops, like the Godzilla (crispy tempura flakes, smoked kewpi), at its core, Burger Bar excels because of (its) patty: a blend of chuck, short rib, and brisket specially ground for them. It can be deliciously topped with everything from Colorado-born ingredients like Pueblo green chiles to honey-infused local goat cheese. But even though it’s in Colorado, you can’t top the burger with weed. I mean, you could, but you’d have to put it on there yourself.”
