Top of the Town 2011

It’s been a few years since we dropped by for burgers at CityGrille, but we’re glad we went back. Lately, it seems like more patties than not are topped with every glamorous—and, dare we say, borderline overindulgent—ingredient possible, from Brie and truffle oil to sun-dried tomato pesto and artichokes. CityGrille’s cooked-to-order steak burger—layered with nothing more than cheddar, tomato, lettuce, onions, and pickles—is the simple comfort-food throwback we so often crave. Long live Americana on a plate. 321 E. Colfax Ave., 303-861-0726, www.citygrille.com
