PROCTECTION OF PRIDE TREK
When I think of food I like to think of delicious foods, food that will make your mouth water just from the thought. Even though I've been known for my feminine pikes peak climbs celebrated with moonshine along side with my lion tamer friend, I like to take time off to really dig my teeth into blood. Not a cow, chicken or even lamb for that matter but a buffalo. The food of New America's 1st pre-occupying inhabitants. So what better way to use a food blog than to tell you where you can find the best and most SAVAGE buffalo burger on the front range while getting in touch with your feather and paint side. Kemo Sabe's protection of pride tour is specifically based on finding the best buffalo burger in the front range from the current top 3 best competitors in the area (vs. my own burger just for fun). The 3 restaurants examined where Buffalo Restaurant ( Idaho Springs, CO), Walk-in Burger ( Denver, CO), and Ted's (Lakewood, CO) at which all the burgers where ordered the same way: 1 buffalo burger prepared medium, with buffalo Chili (not required) , American and Cheddar cheese, Onions, lettuce, tomato, Ketchup, mayo and a hint of dijon mustard. So Lets Get into it, who has the dope and who needs some hope!
So lets start with the worst,yes I started this survey with the worst burger on the list, The WALKALO. Though the name is catchy ,the burger is ginormous and juice and the setting is contemporary. The flavor, composition and simply the ability to get an order correct where not priority among these carnivores. I think these days people are starting to lose sight on whats important in food consumption, quality over quantity. Yes though we have become and obese nation and it's an epidemic blah blah blah regardless of the fact ,some people find bland foods in conglomeration to be mighty delicious. I'll agree to disagree and I believe that belief is asinine. I saw mass groups of people gather and rush to new, trendy business to engage in what seemed to be more than just a routine way to obtain energy but socialize and commune as well. This form of eating is also asinine for the extremely savage at heart, but if you enjoys a good family atmosphere and a cozy environment, this is definitely the place to be. So I can't curse WALK IN BURGER for being completely terrible, they at least have an abysmal knowledge of how to treat walk ins. In the end I think they might need some hope to get them through the long run. At the end of the day a true disappointment to the Kemo Sabe Tribe.
Despite the long haul for the mighty piece of deliciousness at the end of your trek, you aren't left to disappointed. No originality in the name because well It took just as long to find something on the menu that wasn't buffalo they should of probably called it, " The restaurant that stole all the buffalo from the indians and Is now making profit" . I do believe I could single handedly blame this location for the endangerment of buffalo, but in the end, I have no problem with that. Which is why i was so shocked to have to give this location 2 feathers up only. Don't get me wrong it was pretty darn good, but having 1/2 of a burger (no top bun) with chili on it, to many onions and tomato's, no condiments and a slightly dryer medium burger than i expected and having to eat it with a plastic fork, well you can only guess why my expectations where shattered. On the other hand I would love to give this place something to really be a eye catcher for but then environment instead determines this locations fate. Despite the beautiful store and the many buffalo accessories they had to offer, I walked into a door that supported a structure housing nothing but a bunch of old caucasian men and two females in the mix, one other who happened to be with a latino minority. The Bar tender was a nice man, but the stares that me and this latino man observed from the other patrons, told us a lot of we needed to know. It's been a long time since I've walked into a restaurants and full tables as well as those sitting at the bar stopped to notice my specific presence. Uncomfortable? you betchya! but I continue with my meal and my burger while soaking up the stares of dismay. This place Is in definite need some some hope mentally but the food was aaaiiiight. Still not up to par with Kemo Sabe's quality.
All that running around I couldn't believe how DELICIOUS of a burger I received from such a commercial restaurant. Ted's Montana Grill isn't to be confused with your average bar and grill but rather a more upscale option for the buffalo eater while providing an adequate amount of bovine for the less savage. This being the case I wasn't to surprised but still left in shock at the beautiful composition of my sandwich. A gorgeous 3/4 lbs patty cooked to a phenomenal hot pink center on a wheat bun sided by all the proper condiments and vegetation! I almost couldn't believe it. Though nobody is perfect, they happened to be a little onion happy but that was okay with me. As I got lost in this samich delivered from God, I had almost forgot to observe my surrounding. Beautiful girls(that I couldn't help to engage in convo with), everyone smiling, A staff full of people who we all know hate their jobs but hide it amazingly well under some make up and smiles. You honestly couldn't ask for a more cliche but yummy place to be. Well maybe there is one place that could be just a bit better.
What better way to truely be able to give a credible judgment on other burgers than to compare them to Kemo Sabes? There is no better way, so after these long hard venture, I went to visit Kemo Sabe himself. The burger the concocts is like one I've never seen or tasted before. It was composed of the same ingredients as the other minus the onions. this 1lb flame broiled patty was cooked to a more than proper hot pink center, over delicious charcole and covered in the chili and vegetation that could of easily been chosen from the father himself. As for the environment, no place is better than a spot that feels so good, it's parallel to being at home with all of your friends around you, watching your brand new LED TV. Yes this was the sandwich of a lifetime and it's only Created by The Faithful friend himself, me. Which is probably another reason why it's the best burger ever, but I'm not bias.
