The warnings are still up, but so far it hasn’t been bad here at all. The wind blows here normally, and dust happens, but nothing big yet.<\/p>\n
The New Mexican Tourism group provides a map of places to get green chili cheeseburgers, most of which are Blake’s Lotaburger stores. Lotaburger is almost entirely a New Mexico chain, clean, white, and brightly lit, selling the ubiquitous burgers, shakes, and fries. Their version is a regular cheeseburger with chopped green peppers on it, making it just barely something different from the industrial burger found everywhere in America.<\/p>\n
The best burger in New Mexico is designed from the bottom up to be a green chili cheeseburger. The Owl Cafe in San Antonio (NM) has the best, and it has one characteristic that sets a good burger apart from the others: it’s very juicy and messy, amongst other design features that make these things special. But Sparky’s in Hatch might well be a contender for the number 1 title. I ate it with knife and fork, the only way to get it off the plate because of the mess.<\/p>\n
I’ll be back in NM this fall, and as well as the burgers I’ll be looking for breakfast burritos. Those lucky enough to attend the balloon festival know these things well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
