back) has told me as a new Denver-ite, I must try the Cricket. I've heard endless tales of this is old school, dive-y burger joint and bar that was featured on "Best Thing I Ever Ate" and "Man vs. Food". After hearing such rave reviews about the place, I felt compelled to have a second dinner here the other night after a night of drinking. Apparently others had the same idea since it was hopping for a Friday night complete with sketchers, skeezers, Ed Hardy db's and a few normal people in there (which leads me to question myself, what category do I fit in??) So I couldn't go and get something normal on my burger. Oh no. I went with what everyone (yes and their mom) has told me to get--peanut butter and a fried egg. I was a bit skeptical when I heard that I must try peanut butter atop a burger. I usually can only get down with peanut butter if in cookie form or when covered in chocolate so how would a burger smothered in it be along with a fried egg? I believe the term mouth-gasm w
ould be appropriate! The C
ricket is not kidding around when it comes to their burgers and the peanut butter/fried egg combination was excellent and complimented each other with the egg savory and the peanut butter all gooey and melted on the burger. The only thing that I would add next time would either be bacon or cheese (or both!) to bring a little salty flavor to the savory hint the peanut butter gave. Oh and Cherry Cricket? Thanks for giving me the over 21 handstamp that night-it lasted til Sunday truly making me feel like I was back in college again. My boyfriend and I originally wanted to go to the Cherry Cricket when we were meat-eaters. But two years later, we find ourselves in Colorado again, but as vegetarians this time. We decided to still give Cherry Cricket a try. If a restaurant is really good, it should have something for everyone - right?! We shared the Hot Avocado Melt and the Farmer's salad. Both were great! The Melt needed salt, but I over-salt everything, especially if avo is involved. The
salad was huge, almost to
o much for the two of us. The best thing was that we went during Happy Hour so we got some pretty cheap beers & cider. So, the food and drinks were good, so why only 3 stars? Well they lost one star for not offering a veggie burger option. I mean, everyone has a veggie burger option by now, so that was just disappointing. Companies like Boca and Morning Star make it so restaurants don't even have to do much work at all to offer
