Kuralt loved the cuisine of the Land of Enchantment. In his book <em>America<\/em>, he declared the Owl Cafe in San Antonio, New Mexico \u201c<em>one of the best food tips<\/em>\u201d he\u2019d ever gotten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">For years, maybe decades, the Owl Cafe&#8217;s green chile cheeseburger was the standard against which all green chile cheeseburgers were measured.  Not only did Charles Kuralt rave about it, so did every travel guide published about the Land of Enchantment.  Few would dispute that the green chile cheeseburger made tiny San Antonio, New Mexico a popular travel and dining destination.  That was validated daily by the many license plates from several states  which could be seen at the Owl&#8217;s parking lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17976\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17976\" style=\"width: 355px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf02.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17976 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 355px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 355\/438;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" title=\"NM-GCCB-PressConf02\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf02.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"438\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf02.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 444w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf02-243x300.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 243w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf02.gif?size=128x158&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17976\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Mexico Tourism Department Secretary Monique Jacobson introduces the New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail for 2011 During a Press Conference on May 26th, 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">The advent of the information-internet age truly made the world a smaller place and by the close of the 20th century, the Owl Cafe had several contenders for New Mexico&#8217;s best green chile cheeseburger&#8211;including the <a title=\"The Buckhorn Tavern\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=164\" target=\"_blank\">Buckhorn Tavern<\/a> just a few hundred feet away from the Owl Cafe in San Antonio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">An authoritative proclamation (made by New Mexicans who know what they&#8217;re talking about, not out-of-staters) certifying New Mexico&#8217;s best green chile cheeseburger, however, would not be made until 2009 when in the span of just a few months, two burgers could lay claim to the title of New Mexico&#8217;s best.  Neither was Kuralt&#8217;s beloved Owl Cafe.  In May, 2009, the Buckhorn Tavern became world-famous when its gregarious owner Bobby Olguin bested celebrity chef Bobby Flay in a &#8220;green chile cheeseburger throwdown.&#8221;  The judges in the blind taste test were all New Mexicans.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17978\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17978\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf01.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17978 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 400\/406;border: 4px solid black; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;\" title=\"NM-GCCB-PressConf01\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf01.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"406\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf01.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 444w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf01-295x300.gif?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 295w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf01.gif?size=128x130&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/NM-GCCB-PressConf01.gif?size=384x390&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17978\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bobby Olguin, world famous proprietor of the Buckhorn Tavern in San Antonio, New Mexico and Cheryl Jamison, New Mexico Culinary Liaison and Four-Time James Beard Award Winning Author<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Capitalizing on the momentum, Governor Richardson called for a statewide green chile cheeseburger challenge to be held at the New Mexico State Fair on September 22nd, 2009.

When the smoke had cleared and the judges\u2019 seared tongues had cooled, Badlands Burgers (now closed) from Grants was announced as the winner of the inaugural Governor\u2019s Challenge, earning acclaim as purveyor of New Mexico\u2019s best green chile cheeseburger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">November, 2009 saw the introduction of the &#8220;<a title=\"New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nmgastronome.com\/?p=6085\" target=\"_blank\">New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail<\/a>,&#8221; a listing of the Land of Enchantment\u2019s most outstanding green chile cheeseburger restaurants, drive-ins, diners, dives, joints, cafes, roadside stands and bowling alleys.
