Fodor's Expert Review Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs

Quite the character, Biker Jim was hawking his gourmet hot dogs—split down the middle, with Coca-Cola-caramelized onions and a squirt of cream cheese as a topping option—for years on the 16th Street Mall until someone finally convinced him to open his own raucous place. Now he's got two (the second location is at Coors Field), plus five food carts around town, and they're all always packed with folks eager to try a wild boar dog or a duck-cilantro dog. Sure, Biker Jim will do a plain all-beef version, but why go there when there are a dozen other delectable possibilities? On the side there's nothing healthy, but deep-fried pickles and fried mac and cheese beckon anyway. Chipotle-fired brownies with ice cream sandwiched inside make for an ideal ending.
