font-family: Verdana;\">The cultural anthropologist in me can&#8217;t help but enjoy observing the human condition in its natural habitat&#8211;such as the cool people and hipsters who frequent Bailey&#8217;s on the Beach, a thematic departure from the ubiquitous abobe-hued stucco facade so prevalent in New Mexico.\u00a0 Bailey&#8217;s is cool!\u00a0 Perhaps by default, the patrons who frequent it are cool&#8230;or at least they appear to be as they sashay through the premises in an ostentatiously casual manner adorned in regalia which expresses their youth or desire to be young. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px;

font-family: Verdana;\">The ground-level floor&#8217;s motif has an under-the-sea look and feel.\u00a0 The texture of an entire wall is patterned after undulating waves, the slow, smooth motion that lulls you into relaxation.\u00a0 Under changing light conditions, the finish also changes colors.\u00a0 The dominant color pallet on the walls is of foamy white, aqualine blue and palm green.\u00a0 The veneer of one mirror is a sheet of flowing water.\u00a0 A wall-mounted flat screen television plays and replays videos of \u00a0toned surfers as they ride the waves.\u00a0 Seating is more functional than it is comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px;

font-family: Verdana;\">During all my visits to San Francisco, one of America\u2019s truly great culinary hotbeds, the one dish I absolutely have to partake of is cioppino, a fish stew whose genesis is indeed the City by the Bay.\u00a0 In Albuquerque cioppino is almost as rare as hanging ten on the Rio Grande so approximations have to make do.\u00a0 Bailey&#8217;s offers a <em>seafood stew<\/em> described on the menu as &#8220;seafood, grilled veggies and onions in Bailey&#8217;s Cabernet Bouillabaisse.&#8221;\u00a0 Jacques Cousteau would have been challenged to find more than a few small clams in the piping-hot stew, the star of which is the herb and spice enriched Cabernet and tomato-based sauce which has a nice bite worthy of V8.\u00a0 The seafood stew is served with grilled ciabatta bread.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px;

font-family: Verdana;\">One of the most popular entrees on the &#8220;beach food&#8221; section of the menu is the <em>baked clams<\/em>, large al-dente pasta shells engorged with baby clams and housemade breadcrumbs, both seasoned with Long Beach Seasoning which seem to have a heavy concentration of oregano.\u00a0 This is an interesting dish in which the baby clams are deliciously discernible despite the somewhat dominating breadcrumbs and seasoning.\u00a0 <a title=\"Albuquerque The Magazine\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abqthemagazine.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Albuquerque The Magazine<\/a> staffers like this dish so much they awarded it a &#8220;Hot Plate Award,&#8221; the magazine&#8217;s highest honor signifying appetizers, desserts and drinks &#8220;that we can&#8217;t live without.&#8221;\u00a0 Four shells are served with a refreshing papaya-apple slaw, lemon wedges, guacamole and salsas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Perhaps named for the beach attire that draws men to the beach, the <em>Mostly Naked Quesadillas<\/em> are a surprisingly good rendition, the likes of which you&#8217;re not likely to find on the <a title=\"Santa Monica Pier\" href=\"http:\/\/www.santamonicapier.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Monica Pier<\/a>.\u00a0 Naked, in this case, might also have to do with the fact that these quesadillas are rather simple&#8211;Cheddar and Jack cheeses rolled in a flour tortilla with a double-roasted green chile that packs a punch.\u00a0 The quesadillas are cut into wedges and served with sides of guacamole, sour cream and salsa.\u00a0 You can dress up these cheesy delights with chicken, steak, mahi mahi and veggies which can be prepared in any of three ways: grilled, marinated or blackened. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px;

font-family: Verdana;\">Burgers and beaches go together well in more than an alliterative sense.\u00a0 <em>Bailey&#8217;s Beach Burger<\/em> is one of three burgers on the menu, a flame-grilled angus beef burger with &#8220;smashed-in caramelized onions,&#8221; double-roasted green chile and Monterrey Pepper Jack cheese on a ciabatta bun.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a behemoth of a burger with huge flavor.\u00a0 It&#8217;s as hot as beach sand on a scalding summer day courtesy of double-roasted green chile and a Pepper Jack cheese that bites back.\u00a0 Red chile au jus on the side is available, but it&#8217;s as salty as sea water and is wholly unnecessary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Bailey&#8217;s on the Beach offers a number of desserts though our choices&#8211;mudslide madness (dark chocolate truffle brownie topped with marshmallows, roasted almonds and hot fudge) and Bailey&#8217;s Beach Blondie (butterscotch brownie topped with marshmallows and toasted walnuts doused with Bailey&#8217;s caramel fudge)&#8211;were cloying with a level of sweetness which would have made children ping off the walls.\u00a0 More apropos for the beach would have been the tropical key lime pie or Italian ice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;
