Fall is hands-down my favorite time of year in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sparkling golden aspens dot the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the air is thick with the intoxicating smell of New Mexico’s famous roasting chiles, and, to celebrate what is likely Santa Fe’s most famous crop, there is the annual Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown.
Every year, New Mexico’s top burger purveyors sling it out for the coveted titles of “Reigning Chomp” and “People’s Choice.” These awards are judged (respectively) by a panel of local food experts (cookbook author and James Beard Award winner Cheryl Alters Jamison is a long-serving judge) and the crowd who, for the price of attendance, get to sample all competing burgers.
This year, I was one of those lucky attendees.
