Further proof that we are living in the golden age of fast-casual restaurants: Snarfburger and The Hummus & Pita Co. are coming to Denver.
Snarfburger, from the Snarf’s Sandwiches team, will open its first Denver-area location on Federal Boulevard next summer. The retro-inspired burger shack serves frozen custard shakes, onion rings, grilled cheese and veggie burgers in addition to the requisite burgers and fries.
“We are thrilled to be growing in the Denver area, and we are especially excited to bring Snarfburger to Denver,” said Snarf’s representative Holly Moran. “The zig-zag roof of the former check-cashing building created the perfect opportunity to once again restore existing landmarks, as well as keep up the eclectic and funky vibe that is Snarf’s.”
If you can’t quite pry yourself from the siren song of Snarf’s Italian sub, a Snarf’s Sandwiches will be opening up next door.
New York City-based The Hummus & Pita Co., which specializes in healthy Mediterranean food like pitas and laffas, will move into the former The Melt space on the 16th Street Mall.
Local restauranteur Rachid Elmrini is bringing five Hummus &Pita’s to the metro area, with Cherry Creek and Boulder in mind for the other four locations.
“I’ve lived in Denver for 30 years and have seen the food scene evolve from purely American food to more ethnic and healthy cuisines,” Elmrini said. “I wanted to bring The Hummus & Pita Co. to the Denver area because richly diverse food is being served more frequently than before, so a healthy Mediterranean option like The Hummus & Pita Co. will add more exotic choices.”
You should be able to get your cookie dough hummus fix — yes, I just said cookie dough hummus — mid-March.
