'I am so broken-hearted right now.'

It's the end of an era for Jim Pittenger. In 2005, he founded Biker Jim's as a cart on the 16th Street Mall, slinging sausages such as his signature reindeer dog topped with Coca Cola-caramelized onions and cream cheese shot out of a caulk gun.

I am so broken hearted right now and here’s why. I started Biker Jim’s in 2005 with a little cart just off the 16th Street Mall. In the following years I found something that I was kinda good at. Feeding people and showing care…even if it was just for the time we spent together. We shared a ton of jokes and stories and for a while a camaraderie I hadn’t known before.

When the pandemic hit us, we got beat up pretty bad. We were shut for most of half a year, and when we opened we were only able to serve at 25 percent capacity , then 50 percent…you know. I know it was tough on all of us. At the end of 2020, I partnered up with a guy that I had known for more than a decade. At that time he was CEO of a multi million dollar company. He promised me so many things in this partnership.

I can no longer watch how our crew, our vendors, customers, landlords and pretty much everyone that brought this place together have been treated.
