GRILLERS, START

YOUR BURNERS

Burgers and beer. Two of the nicest words in the English

language. Together, they say one thing: Spring is here, and so is

grilling season.

For our annual spring food issue, we couldn’t resist going to

the pros—in this case, Jorel Pierce, former Top Chef star and now

culinary director of the TAG

Restaurant Group—to help us

cook up a variety of burgers

(not only the meat kind, but

salmon and veggie versions,

too) for our story “Burger

Mania,” on p. 63. Check out Chef

Jorel’s tips on creating your

own perfect burger—and top it

off with some local condiments,

featured on p. 69.

As for the other half of the

equation—beer—we tell the

stories of three local brewers

who just happen to be female

in a male-dominated biz (p. 54).

Ultimately, “the beer has to be

really good,” says Betsy Lay

of Lady Justice Brewing. We

couldn’t agree more.

Still hungry? We also have

tips on surviving the hottest

local hot sauce (p. 28), the

starting lineup of new foods at

Coors Field this season (p. 50),

a great local source for heirloom

veggies and flowers (p. 30), the

best way to make iced coffee (p. 46), and, to top it all off, the

yummiest grilled cheese on the planet (p. 45), just in time for

national Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12. Yum.
