The American hamburger, an iconic culinary delight, when done right. This month of December I have traveled around Denver for the holy grail (grill) … the perfect burger. I have not found perfect, however i keep looking. when done right it is flame kissed to the temperature of one’s liking, lightly toasted bread (or a trend coming around, lettuce wrapped) with a myriad of toppings.
