Speedy and cheap are not descriptions commonly bandied about when discussing Aspen chow. But The Grill Next Door, wedged into an off-the-cobblestone-path shop below the city’s parking structure, is undeniably the speediest and cheapest eats in Glitter Gulch. And The Grill’s toasted-bun half-pounder could usurp the Jerome for Aspen’s best burger: the kind of burger that can grease its way out of a paper bag in a matter of minutes. Served your way thanks to a fill-it-out-yourself ordering card, The Grill Next Door’s burgers are top notch at a fraction of the cost of any other burger in town. The chorizo quesadilla is money and the menu stretches into chicken sammies, elk and buffalo burgers, BBQ and a host of dogs.
Get there — 455 Rio Grande Place, across from the skatepark.
