  • Pink Tank

    1101 S. Pearl St. Central Denver

    303-396-2648

    While Pink Tank set up shop inside Pub on Pearl in May 2017, its menu remains staunchly loyal to its food truck roots. While other trucks hustle burgers, pizza and ice cream --not that there's anything wrong with those -- Pink Tank is where you go for the F-Bomb, a hefty hot dog weighted with thick strips of bacon, scrambled eggs and cheddar mounted on French toast fairy-dusted with powdered sugar and glossed with maple syrup infused with caramel. The Tank is an unapologetic shrine to swine, with bacon appearing here, there and everywhere --including on its own, in a mountainous heap of glory. Just get that and a glass of lemonade (pink, obviously), and you'll be in hog heaven. And fans of the mobile Pink Tank, which is indeed the color of a ballerina's tutu, don't despair -- the truck is available for catering and still makes occasional appearances around town.

  • Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs

    Denver Metro Area Central Denver

    303-550-8231

    Biker Jim, aka Jim Pittenger, a former repo man who slings Denver's best wieners from his polished stainless-steel carts, knew he'd struck culinary gold when acerbic food mouthpiece Tony Bourdain declared publicly, to a full audience at the Temple Buell Theater, that he'd "been to the mountaintop and found enlightenment" at Jim's stand at 16th and Arapahoe, where Bourdain had spent the afternoon stuffing weenies down his throat. All of Biker Jim's sausages are creatures of beauty, but the Alaskan reindeer showboat takes top dog for its mildly gamey flavor, woodsy earthiness and slightly spicy kick. As with all of his offerings, Jim splits it down the middle, sears it on a blazing grill and tucks it into a crusty roll speared with a shot of cream cheese from a rifle-sized caulking gun, then heaps it with a mound of grilled onions soaked in Coca-Cola. Hot dog!

  • Billy's Gourmet Hot Dogs

    2445 Larimer St. Downtown Denver

    303-284-2714

    Hot dogs are high art at Billy's Gourmet Hot Dogs, which brings a taste of Chicago to the Ballpark neighborhood. Billy's serves all-beef Vienna dogs, homemade sausage, veggie and even salmon dogs spruced up with an array of fixings, from traditional kraut, onions and mustard to hot peppers, cheeses and chili. One of many house specials, the Tijuana Dog combines avocado, pico de gallo and sour cream in a yummy, satisfying treat. A gluttonous selection of french fries -- topped with blue cheese, among other things -- rounds out the menu. With a large patio, friendly counter staff and daily beer specials, Billy's draws crowds at lunch, dinner and game time.

  • Chicago Style Beef & Dogs

    6680 W. Colfax Ave. Lakewood

    303-233-0500

    Luanne and Joe Margotte opened this joint well over a decade ago with the idea of transplanting a few hundred square feet of Chicago in the fertile soil of metro Denver. The game on the radio is the Cubs or the Bears; at the counter is a stash of Fannie May candies, boxes of Salerno butter cookies, signs for Gonnella bread (as vital to Chicago eaters as Amoroso rolls are to Philadelphians). The place is less a restaurant than a cramped, cluttered, plastic-wrapped museum of Chicago paraphernalia.

  • Coney Island Boardwalk

    10 Old Stagecoach Rd., Bailey Eastern Colorado

    720-276-2810

    After being run by new management in summer 2022, the Bailey landmark is now in the hands of owner Ron Aigner's son, Jay; the hot dog-shaped hot dog stand reopened just in time for Memorial Day weekend 2023 and is slinging a small menu of classic frankfurters and sausages. As always, the real draw is the chance to order a wiener inside a wiener. Check social media for operating hours, as the spot is only open during summer months.

  • Juicy Burgers & Dogs

    6878 S. Yosemite St., Englewood Southeast Denver Suburbs

    303-741-3647

    Juicy Burgers & Dogs is located in a minimalist space in the corner of a small strip mall in Centennial. And like the space, a Juicy burger isn’t all gussied up. Instead, a hand-molded, properly salt-and-peppered patty -- made of freshly ground beef, lamb or chicken, all procured from Colorado -- is char-grilled until it gushes fatty juices and oozes the scent of an outdoor barbecue, then slipped onto grilled pumpernickel or a white bun baked by Udi’s and blanketed with a thick slice of melted Tillamook cheese or smeared with spreadable cheddar. You don’t need anything more, but the standard condiments -- tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, grilled and raw onions, ketchup and mustard -- are available as free add-ons. And while you have to pay for them, the hand-cut fries are perfection, too.

  • Mustard's Last Stand

    1719 Broadway St. Boulder

    303-444-5841

    Mustard's boasts outposts in both Boulder and Denver, walk-up operations that turn out hot dogs, Polish sausages, burgers and veggie options of many different origins and varieties – and have been doing so for four decades. Mustard’s does a proper Chicago dog, topping Vienna beef with mustard, tomato, relish, sport peppers and celery salt, and that's what we like to order. But if you're looking for a chili-and-cheese-smothered wiener, Mustard's is a solid bet. And both locations get bonus points for their vegetarian and vegan options.

  • Uber Eats

    1535 Central St. Northwest Denver

    The original Uber Sausage opened in 2011 in a tiny space on East Colfax Avenue. For their sophomore effort, though, owners Marco Macchiaroli, Alex Gschwend, Brad Arguello and Henry DeMetteis signed on for a much bigger, two-level space on the edge of LoHi. This Uber, which opened in spring 2013, offers the familiar sausage sandwiches as well as several new dishes, including salads, a burger, a Southern fried-chicken sandwich, and sweet and savory wrap- and waffle-centric breakfasts. You can eat in, but for nostalgia’s sake, there’s also a front patio with picnic benches for those who’d like to snarf their sausages outside – and take in the incredible view of downtown Denver.

  • Uber Sausage

    2730 E. Colfax Ave. Central Denver

    303-862-7894

    Uber Sausage got its start as a food truck that slung sausages, then graduated to a tiny space on East Colfax Avenue in 2011. The spot may be small, but the homemade sausages are big, and big on flavor. "We did the truck first, but I knew that I wanted to do a gourmet sausage-sandwich brick-and-mortar, a place that was casual but unique, with different twists and fun flavors," explains exec chef Brad Arguello, one of the owners. There aren’t a lot of amenities – you’ll have to eat your sausage sandwich at one of the picnic tables outside – but the view of Colfax can be spicier than Arguello’s beloved mustard.

  • Wyman's No. 5

    2033 E. 13th Ave. Central Denver

    303-996-0842

    A self-proclaimed "Chicago" bar, Wyman's No. 5 has all the trimmings of a Windy City spot: The Bears, Blackhawks and Cubs all get television priority on game days, and an extensive menu overflows with Chicago-style dogs and both deep-dish and tavern-style pizza options. But the neighborhood hangout is all Colorado in its attitude, with bartenders who remember your name after one visit and a warm wood interior that’s neither stuffy nor pretentious. The only thing to rival its great bar cuisine is the draft beer, with all tap lines running through a complex triple-cooling system that ensures an icy brew.
