Green Chile Cheese Burgers



When we were shopping for a house in Albuquerque almost 4 years ago, the real estate agent volunteered to take us to lunch. We had been looking at houses all morning long and needed a break, so we agreed to have lunch. She said she wanted to introduce us to some New Mexican cuisine. Fortunately, we like to try new things.

She took us to the Owl Cafe. The Owl is a famous diner in the Albuquerque area. We were impressed by this diner. Usually, a diner is more like a 'greasy spoon.' A greasy spoon is an old nickname for a restaurant that once served the working class. The foods were usually fried and greasy, thus the name. But the Owl Cafe was clean, bright and decorated with an interesting collection of different owls.

Our Real Estate Agent insisted we all order the signature dish at the Owl Cafe, a green chile cheeseburger. Now, I've had cheeseburgers before. But I've never had one with green chile on it. Green Chiles are a cash crop here in New Mexico. Hatch, New Mexico grows these famous chiles. Most of the population can't eat a meal without them!

We all enjoyed the spicy new flavor the chile added to an American favorite. Now, if I ever order a cheese burger in New Mexico, I say YES to the offer of green chile on it!
