Denver and Fort Collins Adventure...

So yesterday we decided to make our way up north to the big city of Denver and try out a burger joint we saw on the Discovery channel called "The Cherry Cricket". We left around our house around 11:30 and got there around 12:30, we then parked and put our names on the list. The woman said it would be a twenty-minute wait, but five minutes later we were sitting at a large round booth probably meant for a party of 5 or more... The place was a bit run down, it smelled of stale beer and urine which surprisingly only took a few minutes to get used to.

Anyhoot, Andre ordered an all beef cricket burger ( 1/2 pound of 100% angus beef) with the toppings of cream cheese and a green Chile. I ordered a little cricket burger (1/4 pound of angus beef) with bacon, cheddar cheese, and a green Chile- cooked well done. We also got a side order of cheese fries smothered in a delicious green chile... The food was not a disappointment at all, in fact we both agreed that it was one of the best burgers we have ever had. The cheese fries were also incredible they were coated in an amazing green chile with bits of pork and lots of white cheese. Overall the meal was delicious but a bit pricey. I give The Cherry Cricket a 9/10 for its fantastic burgers, 6/10 for price and a 3/10 for restaurant atmosphere.

After a delicious lunch we headed over to the Cherry Creek Mall and did some window shopping, there we found the strangest thing... children playing on bacon- and other breakfast food.


We then decided to venture even further north to the city of Fort Collins, André's brother Pierre was in town visiting his girlfriend so we decided to meet them for dinner. We walked around town and decided to eat at this place called HuHot. Now this is unlike any restaurant I had ever been too, it's sort of buffet style you pay one price and can eat whatever you want. The buffet has many different kinds of noodles, meats, seafood's, vegetables and sauces. You take a bowl or two up to the buffet and fill it with whatever you want, the meats are all frozen and so is the sea food, then you douse your meal in a variety of different sauces and get in line.

There is a guy standing at this giant round grill and he dumps your combination of food out onto it and cuts it up and cooks it for you while you watch, then he puts it all on a plate when it is cooked and you go sit down. The food was outstanding, I mainly had noodles with beef and a spicy sauce but it was incredibly delicious. Andre also enjoyed his meal which contained plenty of squid and crab. HuHot is definitely an innovative restaurant and because you eat only what you choose- you are bound to find something you like there. I give HuHot a 10/10 for their food, a 7/10 for price and a 10/10 for restaurant atmosphere.
