Austin: hopdoddy burger bar

All the way from Aspen, the buzz on hopdoddy burger bar is loud. So obviously it was one of my first stops as soon as I got back to town. In the old Cissi’s Market spot on South Congress, hopdoddy burger bar is serious about meat but whimsical without being cheeky everywhere else. Great vibe, and it…

Burgers aren’t hard to find in Aspen (LOVE Belly Up’s double and sweet potato fries!!) But burgers under $10? Rare. So when Mountain Naturals, the crunchy store in the ABC, announced lunch specials like a $6.50 burger, I had to check it out. Served on an english muffin with as many toppings as you’d like,…

Aspen: Burgers at Belly Up

You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard to find grass-fed, free-range beef and chicken here in Aspen, but it has been a little bit challenging. Surprise then that Belly Up, Aspen’s premiere live music venue, is a purveyor of grass-fed beef and free-range chicken. They even have a buffalo chicken pizza! (You may or may…
