4worldlovers: TUNE IN JULY 8TH TO WATCH JIM "BIKER JIM" PITTENGER ON

Jim ‘Biker Jim’ Pittenger is not your ordinary culinary chef. He is however, the undisputed Gourmet Dog King of Denver. With an appetite for grilling exotic game meat, a low-key approachable personality and a knack for catchy slogans like “Off The Street and Into Your Mouth”, Pittenger has redefined an American icon in his own image in more ways than one.

On any given day, whether at one of his tricked out food carts, concession stand at Rockies Stadium, or 2148 Larimer Street, Pittenger has generated local, regional, national, and international acclaim for his grilled gourmet dogs, cream cheese, sizzling caramelized onions, and super-casual atmosphere.

Pittenger has appeared twice on the late Anthony Bourdain show “No Reservations”, numerous cooking shows for The Food Channel and Netflix, and his gourmet dogs have been recognized in countless Top-10 lists around the country.

Our products offer satisfaction for every taste, wether tame or wild, spicy or sweet. A Biker Jim dog is the most refreshing take on American’s most iconic food, the Hot Dog.

4worldlovers: As a vision from diverse backgrounds, the riff behind the name pays homage to the late and great Jimmy Smith, a legendary 1960’s jazz musician. His live song and album, recorded in 1972 entitled Root Down (And Get It) speaks to the ability of returning to the root or “one” chord of the song. Melodic, raw, vital, earthy.

The Beastie Boys, taking their own spin on the tune made it funky, gritty and fresh in the album Ill Communication. Mirroring the song’s history, Root Down’s philosophy echoes these cords. We are imperfect but celebrate the flaws.
