Best Bites: Eco-Burger
For anyone tiring of the burger trend, the almost three-week-old Eco-Burger will renew your interest. The Cherry Creek shop (from David Pellegrin and Rebekah Donovan Pellegrin, who also own the nearby Q Worldly Barbeque) dishes a finely tuned menu.
Not surprisingly, the grass-fed beef topped with goodies such as prosciutto and smoked blue cheese are menu stars, but the alternatives are just as worthy. The seared tuna steak burger comes dressed with a crunchy carrot, daikon, and sprout slaw, and the black-bean burger exhibits texture and spice thanks to the salsa and chipotle sour cream stirred into the patty.
Whatever you choose, top off your meal with the hand-cut fries, tossed with sea salt and cracked pepper (pay the extra $1 for the creamy blue cheese dipping sauce) and a glass of the red sangría.

After visiting Eco-Burger this week based on the above post, I was surprised that "zero-waste" had not been considered in this alledged eco-friendly establishment. They have gone to great lengths to outfit the restaurant with LED lights, compostible paper products and beetle-kill pine paneling-which is morally conscious. But to support the conglomorate corn industry by offering corn based compostible cups and Coca-Cola products (high fructose corn syrup), not to mention not one REAL utensil, plate, cup, etc-which lasts for years by the way-just doesn't seem to align with the true purpose of being "morally delicious" in my book. I applaud the concept, but the execution needs some work in re-thinking exactly what will truly help our environment at the end of the day.
Oh yes...the micro-burger wasn't bad. Not cooked as I had asked and missing the tomato but hey, perhaps they are still getting the bugs out. I probably won't dine there again until I sense some forward movement in the zero-waste category.
