The Best Burger In Town This town aint big enough for two "best burgers" ... actually, we rated our top 5.

If you haven't tried these offerings, you're missing out.

West Main Taproom

Hilltop Taphouse

Colorado 7x Wagyu Burger

The Hilltop

Colorado Wagyu, roasted green chiles, asadero cheese, and chipotle aioli on toasted briche bun.

All beef patty topped with melted American cheese, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and mayo.

Served on a toasted bun.

There is a little kick to our favorite burger in town. This is not your traditional burger.

The meat is the star as it commands your taste buds' attention and leaves you wanting more after the burger is gone.

We also loved the size (it could fit in your mouth), and the fries are great too!

6 SEARCHSOUTHAURORA

This is the hamburger we all try to make on the backyard grill. Hilltop just makes it better. Juicy, but not overpowering, the beef blends perfectly with the toppings to the enjoyment of your mouth. The fried egg is a must.

Parker Garage

Colorado Taproom

Black+Haus Tavern

Bison Burger

Taproom Burger

Black+Haus Burger

Smoked tomato-bacon aoili, burger leaf, vine tomato, confit onion, fontina cheese, smoked gouda, house-made brioche.

Nearly a 1/2 lb premium beef with lettuce, tomato, onions, & pickles on a brioche bun. Served with your choice of cheese.

Blackening spice, bacon jam, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, arugula, garlic confit aioli, toasted brioche bun.

The Bison Burger makes you feel like you're eating a hamburger in Colorado. Even if you don't like onions, Parker Garage will make you a believer with these!

Colorado Taproom delivers a tasty burger with great service. By far the best bacon and best fries in town. This burger is a classic you won't want to miss.

The Black+Haus offering is an explosion of taste. Don't be scared off by the bacon jam. There are several flavors coming from this dish and it has a little kick.

Know Mo, Mr. Nice Guy The Donut House is well known by local residents. But with COVID putting so many small eateries out of business, Moe refused to yield.

Homer Simpson said it best, “Mmm. Donuts.” Cake donuts, old fashioned, bear claws; donuts are a sweet indulgence that bring out the kid in everyone. Mo Aladayleh, owner of The Donut House and “donut maker extraordinaire” would definitely agree. His family has been serving fresh, delicious donuts locally since 2009. “We decided to open The Donut House to provide customers with our own delicious doughnut recipe. Each scrumptious bite is sweetened to perfection and because our doughnuts are handmade fresh every day, our customers come from miles around for the divine taste of a glazed, old-fashioned, cake, or cronut from us."

Just like everyone else during the pandemic, The Donut House took its licks (no pun intended). The struggles of mandated closures, inflated vendor prices, and supply chain 8 SEARCHSOUTHAURORA

issues caused Mo to shut down five of his ten stores.

Faced with the harsh reality of trying to survive, Mo was determined to help his employees through this tough situation. Although the businesses were struggling, Mo refused to lay any employees off – not one. Not a single employee was laid off due to financial shortages. Employees from closed stores were moved to other locations, given new positions, and even promoted in order to help them keep a paycheck. Mo even hired the manager from a competitor when they couldn't afford to stay open.

As the world got turned on its head, there came a glimmer of hope from the denizen of dough.

He stood up to the pandemic and the chaos it caused. When I asked Mo if he ever considered closing the Parker location amid his scale back he just said "No, Parker is my home."

PICTUREPERFECT Why is photography for your business so important? A customer’s first impression of your business is usually based off visual content, as well as the vibe of that content. What’s your VIBE? Your first impression matters. It is often a photograph that will determine whether the client will want to buy your product. Whether it is your head shot, or photos of the food you serve If you own a restaurant, photos convey a specific mood and influence emotions.

It might not surprise you to learn that about 75% of customers say that a quality image is essential to confirming their purchasing decision.

This applies to both physical products as well as services. Yet so many businesses cut out this crucial aspect of marketing and don’t realize the impact. When you see a bad photo of a product, how long do you stay looking at it? Probably not long, which means you aren’t likely to buy what you just saw. Stop using your phone!

Your visuals make or break potential customers interested in your business and taking this approach could seriously hinder your business.

Poor quality images can cheapen your brand, or can be associated in the consumer’s mind with poor quality food and this, in turn, can affect how many people walk through your door to try you out.

Photography brings connection to your product, and when we feel connected, we spend more money. How do you want the world to see what you do? The pictures you use are a reflection of the way you run your business. Using high quality photography communicates to the public you care about the details and creates confidence in your buyers.

Most businesses under-appreciate the importance of professional photography and the impact it has on traffic and sales. Even your headshot is important. Having a professional image of yourself creates a connection between you and your customer with a first impression.

And people buy when they feel connected. Especially now.

I’m Raemi, a Colorado native and professional photographer. Over the last 10 years I have helped transform the visual presence of dozens of small and large businesses. The profit from investing in photography can be exponential. The lobster image you see here was taken by my mother, Dee, on a 1965 Hasselblad film camera on transparency. She taught me a lot about the art of photography as a whole. Photography is my full time business and passion. Thanks mom! You can find me in my studio on Mainstreet above Fika Coffee. By appointment only.

Food tells the story of us: our history, industry, and culture. Take a look at how the food industry began here in Douglas County.

E

arly Colorado natives ate fish preserved with salt, as well as rabbits, deer, and birds. With horses, the Utes were able to hunt for bison to expand their meat options. They maintained a wide hunting and gathering economy. They ate seeds, berries, pine sap, and roots that they gathered, also drying fruits and meats for the winter.

When new settlers came to Colorado, their diet and economy looked very different. Unlike the nomadic natives, the pioneers chose to settle in one place to develop agriculture. Over 150 years ago, many came to our area when miners began searching for gold. When gold was not found, farming became the primary industry in early Douglas County, which was officially created with 17 other counties in 1861. The previous year’s census showed 1,388 residents in the county.

“Early Douglas County homesteaders primarily raised cattle because hilly geography is not highly tenable to farming.

A few chose to farm wheat, like the Lowell family along East Plum Creek, and potato crops were profitable for a time in Larkspur and Greenland. The Cherry Creek Valley focused on dairying ventures, and German immigrants there ran the successful Cherry Creamery for decades. The Carlson-Frink Creamery in Larkspur also ran well into the 20th century. Some ranches, like the Diamond K near Highlands Ranch, raised poultry and small sheep herds. Beef has always been king in Douglas County, especially along West Plum Creek. Douglas County ranchers remain avid participants in Denver’s Western Stock Show, and popular 4-H Clubs thrived in the mid-20th century. This passion for (and proximity to) cattle is clear in the recipes of pioneers and ranchers, which often include variations on beef and dairy.” (DCL Achives, Food Culture in Douglas County) Individuals involved in agriculture helped to establish the area. An early farmer to the Highlands Ranch area, Dad Rufus Clark was a big potato farmer. Samuel Long began his homestead in 1880 and later practiced dryland farming on 2,000 acres. The house, sold to John Springer, later became the Highlands Ranch Mission. John continued to enlarge his ranch and soon raised horses and cattle on 12,000 acres. An Englishman, Charles Allis, set up a ranch in the 1880s on over 1,700 acres near Castle Rock, known as Greenland, where he raised sheep.

While the agricultural industry remained important, many changes have taken place over the years. The Denver Union Stockyard, with 4,400 seats, was established in 1886 on 130 acres. It was the largest receiving market with facilities for 70,000 sheep, 33,000 cattle, 10,000 hogs, 2000 horses or mules, and 4500 cattle chutes. In 1890, the Castlewood Dam was commissioned to provide irrigation for farmers and ranchers. In the early 20th century, tractors replaced horses and turned thousands of acres of grassland into wheat fields. Dust storms of the 1930’s put many farmers out of business, caused by periods of drought and high winds. Many Japanese Americans were forced to leave California and moved to Colorado during World War II, becoming good farmers and harvesting spinach.

The Douglas County area remained largely farms and ranches for nearly a century after its creation. After World War II, Colorado’s population began to grow significantly. The suburbs began to change from open land to subdivisions. After I-25 was completed in 1963, the connection from Denver to Colorado Springs made this change more convenient.

Agriculture has remained in Douglas County in the southern part of the county, even with huge growth in the northern part of the county. Production has changed from wheat, corn, and cattle to hay, cattle, and horses. The cowboy and agricultural influence is still in tact in Douglas County.

Even with a huge history in farming and ranching, the county has shifted much of its food industry in recent decades.

Restaurants, cafes, and fast-food establishments dot the county in force and have combined food with service to create a new era of eating and social experiences to fit our modern schedules and culture.
