Smashburger is a Colorado company, so we’re always rooting for them, but we really love it when they wave the Colorado flag on a national level. And that’s exactly what they’re doing with their newest menu items.

The “Colorado Smashburger” is back by popular demand, and it features a Certified Angus Beef burger topped with green chilies, melted aged cheddar and pepper jack, lettuce, tomato and mayo on a spicy chipotle bun.

There’s also a new addition, the “Colorado Big Dog,” which is a quarter-pound 100 percent Angus beef hot dog split and butter-grilled, served in a toasted New England roll with cheddar cheese sauce, grilled green chilies and chipotle mayo.

Not just because Colorado is in the name, but these both legitimately sound delicious. Find your nearest Smashburger here to try them out.
