This month flip to “Holy Cow” on page 55 where we spotlight over 25 of our region’s best burgers, including the beauty on our cover from Bricks Eats & Drinks. Having grown up on McDonald’s cheeseburgers, I must say, America’s quintessential comfort food has come a long way from the frozen patties and processed cheese of my past. House-made buns, farm-fresh fixings, and over-the-top toppings like bacon jam, garlic pickles, and fried green beans are just a sampling of what awaits. We even showcase a few meat-free offerings (for the veg heads out there) and highlight our favorite French fries. Another perfect burger pairing? A big, bold beer; for five STYLE-tested and approved IPAs, check out “West is Best” (page 96)
May is National Bike Month so make a pledge to hop on your bike as often as possible (and always wear a helmet) by visiting mayisbikemonth.com. And remember: A post-ride reward—like a big, juicy burger and freshly poured pint—should be part of every adventure. Cheers!
