We take our home green chile stew recipes very seriously. That blessed combination of green chile, chicken, potatoes, posole, and everything else was probably passed down from generation to generation, and we are rightfully very proud of our family recipe. This praise can also apply to biscochitos, margaritas, tamales, enchiladas, and basically any homestyle New Mexican cooking.
Ah, September. That magical time of year when the green chile crop comes in and New Mexicans descend in hordes onto grocery stores to buy huge bags and pay a guy to roast them to perfection. We ALL have our go-to roasters, and if someone loves our green chile and wants to know where we get it roasted, it is complete validation of our superior chile taste.
Now THAT is high praise. No one — literally, almost no one — does breakfast burritos better than Blake’s.
Duh, welcome to the club.
Yes, and we damn well know it.
To our ears, that comes out as “wow, you are such an excellent and safe driver that you never need to indicate turns and other drivers will simply move to accommodate you. I am so impressed with your skills.”
Bonus points if you also compliment our vigas and chile ristras.
*fans self* Well gosh, thank you, it’s just such an honor, I’d like to thank the Academy…
Oh, you will be in our good graces forever with this one. We are CONSTANTLY being asked about Breaking Bad, and while we are happy that it did such a “good” job of promoting Duke City, there’s so much more here than just roof pizza and allegedly blue meth.
Just… marry us.
