My travel non-negotiable: a slow last morning before the flight home. Everything shower, robe on, coffee in bed, zero rushing. Come home rested, not wrecked. ☕️🤍
Save this for your next trip. @thehotellongmont

@casajuaniboulder on Pearl is Spanish food that will absolutely blow you away. Think seafood paella, Jamon Ibérico, croquetas, oysters, clams, lobster, rice dishes and so much more.

The restaurant is named after the chef’s mom, Juani, and somehow you can taste that. And Bon Appétit @bonappetitmag agrees, it made their list of the best new restaurants in America.

📍 Casa Juani, 901 Pearl St, Boulder

My top 5 Smash burgers Part 2 ✌🏼
Everyone loved part 1 of my top 5 smash burgers in Denver, and I tried a lot of your suggestions, so we are back with part 2!

Daltons Cheeseburgs @daltonscheeseburgs
Inside the 1970s themed @rino.countryclub, Dalton serves up a classic smash burger on cooper sharp American cheese and a potato bun. The patty has crispy edges but still thick. It’s a great spot to pregame before a show at Mission Ballroom.

Artys @artys_burgers_plus
Another smash burger spot inside a brewery (@nibrewing in Arvada) and using cooper sharp American cheese. These patties are thicker than a typical smash burger but just as delicious. Try the angry art for a lil extra spice!

Doublewide @doublewide.co
One of the first smash burgers we tried when we moved here. They work out of their food truck so check their IG for the weekly schedule. If you like lacey crispy edges, this one’s for you. They use a sesame seed bun which I thought was pretty unique.

NADC Burger @nadcburger
I would consider this a slightly elevated smash burger. They use Texas raised wagyu beef which you can def taste the difference. I will say it’s pricier than other spots but definitely worth a try!

Milehigh smash burgers @milehighsmashburgers
Working out of their food truck, they are serving up a classic smash burger with a juicy patty. They serve mozzarella sticks as a side and they are amazing! We had them cater our wedding welcome party and it was a hit (even the veggie burger!). Check out their instagram for their weekly schedule.

What’s your go to smash burger? Let me know and follow for more Colorado recs!
