Burgers are practically part of American DNA: The average American consumes around 60 of these mouthwatering creations each and every year, according to a survey by SWNS Digital. This national obsession has seen burgers reimagined in countless ways since their early days as a simple beef patty on a bun, including the invention of a smaller, bite-sized version known as a slider. (Because the only thing better than a burger is a burger you can eat in one mouthful, correct?)

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

If you're anything like most foodies, pasta likely has a regular spot in your weeknight at-home dinner rotation. From mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, to lasagna, there's nothing more crowd pleasing and comforting than whipping up a meal by boiling some boxed noodles and popping open a jarred sauce, plus adding some variety of cheese and veggies on top. While easy pasta dinners will always be a staple, we all know there's a big difference between the usual at-home meal you're making from store-bought ingredients and the most elevated, memorable, restaurant-made pasta sauces you've enjoyed.
