Yesterday was a blast. We burned through a bunch of dogs. And I'm pretty sure the Argonaut staff will be hooked in no time. Nice to have a built in clientele I tell you what. I'm heading in there today in a little bit. Should be up and running by noon. And will probably hang until 6 or 7 or so. I'm thinking for the rest of January and the first part of February we will be there Friday and Saturday. As it warms up we'll expand the schedule and the hours. Definitely gonna do some late night concerts at the Fillmore, stuff like that.
Thanks to everyone that made it down yesterday, and thanks again to Kevin for that awesome cake. I love cake!
See you on the street,
Jim

Today is the first day the we're going to set up at Argonaut Liquors. We'll be there and cooking by noon, and will probably hang all day and into the evening. Not sure how late yet, but probably something like 6 or 7 or so. As the weather improves so shall our schedule. Right now we'll be looking at Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Then some evenings...maybe some late nights. We'll see.
We won't be at 17th and California today, but we will for sure be at 16th and Arapahoe.
Thanks guys, hope to see you on the street.

We won't be at 17th and California today. We will have all your favorite stuff at 16th! So if'n you're hankering for a dog today, come on over to 16th and Arapahoe and we'll fix you up.
See you on the street,
Jim

Looks like a head cold has knocked out our Fancy Bitch...so we won't be at 17th today. We will have all the fun What the Wednesday stuff at 16th so come on down you!

Rattle...get it? Nope? That means you will now get rattlesnake brats every Wednesday now. These are just weird enough and way tasty enough to cement at least a one day a week relationship with you all. If you haven't tried it you must. If you miss it this week, don't worry, it'll be here next week. We are also doing a Curry Wurst today. This is a mild German brat topped with a house made tomato curry sauce, and then you sprinkle on more curry. Not all that spicy but it has all the flavor. You will enjoy it I tell you. We also have the ubiquitous Alaskan Italian Sausage. Not sure what ubiquitous means but figured it was about time I used it. What I do know is that this is one bad ass Italian and it should definitely be on your do to list. We'll also have pheasant, which is awesome. As well as all the other stuff you're used to finding at the cart. So...come check it out.

Looks like today should be a fine doggy burning type day. And so in honor of Thursday, and the fact that people keep asking me, I will have some rattlesnake/pheasant brats at 16th today. I'm kind of wondering if this needs to be a full time kind of brat. What do you think?
Anyhow, I'll see you on the street,
Jim

Okay, that is a big clue for you. If you can tell me who the lead is in that movie I just referenced. I'll buy you a drink. Which also brings me to the point. We're gonna have the Duck Cilantro sausage. You want to eat this...I know you do. It is fantastic. But then if you don't really feel like duck today, you could of course have pheasant. Pheasant is leaner and a bit spicier than the duck. And awesome. (notice I'm not using fantastic? Let's see how long it takes for me to run out of adjectives) And if it isn't fowl you're after then perhaps the Railyard Ale brat is what you'll be wanting. This is a somewhat sweet and savory beer brat and one of my favorites. It is totally flavorishish. (See I didn't use awesome or fantastic...of course I reserve my right to use English as a living language) What beer is not on your diet? Well then I believe the Scottish Banger is what you'll be having then. This is coarsley ground pork sausage with bread crumbs and milk. It is mild buttery and delicious. In fact it's so delicious zombies would prefer these brats to most school kids brains. As we all know school kids brains are no where near as delicious as these Bangers.
Of course we have all your favorite other dogs. Nobody's saying you can't have a duck and reindeer, or a red hot and a banger (sounds like a Tony Curtis, Marylin Monroe movie huh?)
What I'm saying is, this Wednesday's menu is awesomely fantastically flavorishishly delicious!
I'll see you on the street,
Jim

Well it looked pretty nice when the sun came up around 7...and then. The temp dropped...and then. The clouds rolled in....and then. The wind picked up...and then. It seemed like it was going to be too cold to be hot dog guys outside today...and then. NO MORE AND THEN!
Extra points if you know what movie I was just referencing. But the downside is, yeah it is going to be too freaking cold to hang outside today. Soooo Biker Jim's will be closed today. And looks like tomorrow. And yeah, looks like Friday too. I hope you all have a productive week. Me? I have some year end paper work to enjoy for the next couple of days.
I'll see you all soon, Ima hoping.
I'd also like bid a fond farewell to Jason Sheehan. Jason you've injected a lot of insight and yucks into the Denver food scene. You've been very nice to Biker Jim's and I'll be always grateful for that. Enjoy Seattle sir, and I hope the reversal of the sunny to cloudy day ratio doesn't drive you anymore insane than you generally are. Adios amigo.

Jim

Yeah gorgeous I tell you, and above freezing too. How great is that? So for today's menu we're bringing back that Rattlesnake/Pheasant brat. It is soooo freaking good! We will also have arguably the best Italian Sausage ever. The same people that make my reindeer make this Italian. It is spiced perfectly, but nope, no reindeer in it. Just good ol' beef and pork.
We've also got Linguisa today. This is a Portugese style sausage. Made with pork, red wine and paprika. Very sophisticated. Yeah, like Biker Jim can even spell sophisticated. But really, it's good I tell ya. And of course Pheasant brats, as well as all the other usual stuff.
We won't be open at 17th and California today...a scheduling error on my part. Errr, sorry.
We will be out on New Years Eve at 16th and Arapahoe. There is a pretty giant party on the mall New Years Eve. If you haven't been down for one it is a trip. Something like a couple of hundred thousand people out watching fireworks and seeing just how cold it has to get before drunken debutantes decide to cover up their little black dresses. It is a good time and we'll have plenty of cocoa and reindeer brats. Hope to see you,
Jim

I came down to set up this morning and found a giant snowbank where my cart usually lives. By the time they (the guys that do this stuff) showed up and started working on the snowbank, it was a little late to make lunch...so no hot dogs at 16th today. Anthony is burning dogs on 17th and California today. Plenty o dogs to be had there, so if your craving a reindeer, you might need to make it east a few blocks.
Thanks, I hope to see you on the street tomorrow.
Jim

Another wintery day...which means I'll be working on my memoirs or something. Well actually we're whipping out a ton of cheesecakes today and tomorrow. We will not, however, be on the street for the rest of the week. Soooo...I hope you all have a great holiday, stay warm and enjoy each others company. Merry Christmas and I'll see you next week.
Jim

Love it, the first day of winter was 60 degrees, today it's gonna be like 43. This is probably the last day we'll be working till after Christmas. You know, snow and stuff like that.
So....if'n you're wanting a reindeer before Santa uses em all up, c'mon down why dontcha.
We also have a few gift cards around. Buy someone you like lunch, and put it in their stocking. I think I'll bring some rattlesnake with me today, so if you ask nice, maybe you can bite one of them for a change.
If I don't see you guys enjoy the holidays, stay warm and I hope to see you on the street soon,
Jim

S'possed to be 56 degrees today. I love this place. Okay, maybe I was whining like a freshly nuetered puppy a couple of weeks ago, but it's 56 today!!! And it's 5 days till Christmas. So yeah, we'll be out burning dogs today at 16th and Arapahoe. It is also the last weekend of the Christkindle Market. Come on down, eat an elk brat and buy some expensive Christmas Tree Ornaments. Actually there is a guy that is selling some really nice cashmere scarves at a very reasonable price. (Okay I'll trade hot dogs for almost anything, doesn't get any more reasonable than that for me)
I ended up moving to Colorado after we came down from Anchorage, for a friends Christmas wedding. It was 55 degress that day, I think it was like 2 in Alaska. 6 months later I was wondering why you don't have any air here...but loving it. That was 22 years ago. Man, I am way too young to have this much history.
Alright I gotta go get ready to burn dogs today, hope to see you on the street,
Jim

Welcome to Friday, looks to be a pretty day if not a wee bit cool. Not too cool to burn dogs at 16th today, but we won't be out at 17th and California today. Soooo if you're wanting a bit of the reindeer or a herd of elk, you'll be wanting to come to 16th and Arapahoe. And by the way, this is the last weekend for the Christkindle Market on Skyline Park, so we'll be out burning dogs and supporting the Germaness (okay that's not a real word) Saturday and Sunday. Maybe the Krumpus'll show up. Scare the kids into being good. Just in case you can't make it down during the week and you want Aunt Martha from Biloxi to watch you eat a reindeer, well then, you have a place to do that.
Alright then, I hope to see you on the street,
Jim

Because we have a stellar line up today. First off...Duck! Yup, the ol Duck Cilantro Sausage hops back on the grill. Rich, herby and awesome. We also have the 1554 Black Ale Brat. You like brats? You like beer? You are gonna be in heaven. I don't really drink, so if I eat more than one of these guys the world starts getting a little dark around the edges.
We will also have the Hungarian sausage. This is hard smoked with beef and pork, garlic and paprika. Not for the feint of heart. It has some flavor, but won't overwhelm you with heat.
We will also have pheasant brats, as well as the usual menu. I hope you can make it down today, it is the nicest day of the week.
Thanks,
Jim

Yuppers, we'll be heading in today and tomorrow. Especially after the lousy weather and the no workie thing for most of the last couple of weeks. Sooooo.....if you've been needing an elk brat, or a reindeer fix this holiday season. C'mon down. We'll be there until at least 3 today and tomorrow.

That is a temp we haven't seen in about a week. So we're heading out to be hot dog guys today. We'll be open at both 16th and Arapahoe and 17th and California today.
So if you've been craving some reindeer or elk, well c'mon on down.
If you ask me why I hated Friday the 13th when I was a repo guy, I'll buy you a coke or something.
Hope to see you on the street,
Jim

And still way cold. Although it looks like tomorrow we are finally going to crack that freezing mark. We won't be out today but it is looking like we'll be burning dogs tomorrow. We're also planning on being out this weekend. 40 degrees will feel like we went on vacation and I'm going to be taking advantage of that you betcha. So stay warm today and I'm hoping to see you manana.
Thanks,
Jim

And by gorgeous I mean FREAKING COLD!!! Okay, so -16 is bad enough, but with a bit of a breeze we're looking at -36 this morning. Doesn't look like I'm working today. Hope you all stay warm today. I'll check in tomorrow. But first

2009's First Christmas Joke

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.

'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'

The man from Nova Scotia fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said.

'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said.

The man from Saskatchewan reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'

Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'.

The Newfoundlander started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'


The Newfie replied, 'These are Carols.'

And So The Christmas Season
Begins......

Cold out...bored now. Think I'll cook something. Not hot dogs, but something. I'll keep you guys posted but it doesn't look too likely we'll be out burning dogs until Friday. Thanks everyone, I'll check you out soon.
Jim
