And the Winner Is...Park Burger

At last night's sold-out Denver Burger Battle, 10 of the city's best burger spots went head-to-head to see who had the ultimate offering. The eats were impressive, from Argyll's ground lamb and beef patty, duck fat confit onions, spicy tomato jam, ColoRouge cheese, and carrot-ginger aïoli to the In-N-Out Burger-style, double-patty sample from Old School Burgers. Alas, the judges (Troy Guard of TAG, Alex Seidel of Fruition Restaurant, and James Rugile of Venue Bistro) deemed Park Burger as supreme. The crowd of 550-plus selected H BurgerCo as people's choice (we think it was the sweetened bun and slab of roasted green chile that clenched the win). The best news is that fans of Park Burger's winning El Chilango burger (the satisfying combo of Harris Ranch beef, cheddar, jalapeños, and guacamole) can enjoy it at both the Platt Park location and at the newly opened Park and Co. in Uptown. Bonus: We appreciated the shops that offered extras---crisp pickles from Encore on Colfax, steak fries from Deluxe Burger, cantaloupe agua fresca from Park Burger, and gastrique-drizzled chips from Argyll---alongside their burgers. Park Burger, 1890 S. Pearl St., 720-242-9951 Park and Co., 439 E. 17th Ave., 720-328-6732 H BurgerCo, 1555 Blake St., 720-524-4345

So, if you think it is "alas" that Park Burger was the winner, why not give us a clue as to why you were disappointed in this selection? Is it because you did not think theirs was good or you really liked another one better? Which one?

Shouldn't the headline be: And the Winner Is…H Burger?! I believe the big award went to H Burger. Am I wrong? They won by like 90 votes at least according to the Burger Battle Website. Plus they announced it last...The Oscar's don't announce Best Picture first...do they? Just sayin
