Canvas Artistry on 1st Street Just North of Central<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“Edible art” isn’t just some trite phrase pedantic food critics use when food has aesthetic values that delight our senses. Mankind has been been intrigued by the concept of food as art since the dawning of rational thinking. Prehistoric cave paintings such as those in Les Trois Fr\u00e8res in Ari\u00e8ge, in southern France, depict families gathering around the fire to share the foods they had prepared, an event made possible by the discovery of fire. Fire, it goes without saying, was also the catalyst behind men first wearing aprons emblazoned with “kiss the cook.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Moving past prehistoric taggers scrawling graffiti on cave walls, edible art became more urban when Egyptians painted food on the walls of the great pyramids (ostensibly to nourish the dearly departed who had transitioned to the afterlife). During the halcyon days of the Greek and Roman empires, the depiction of food took on a more realistic tone when glass bowls of fruit were painted to denote the delicacies enjoyed by the one-percenters of the day (and some of those paintings still hang on the walls of many a Midwestern grandmother’s home). <\/span><\/p>\n

The View of Central Avenue From the Third Story Home of Canvas Artistry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The reverence with which mankind esteems food in art has expanded almost as quickly as our waistlines. Today, depictions of food festoon the walls of restaurants, hotels and homes (not to mention fraternity houses) everywhere. We’re also bombarded with images of food on the sacred altars of our living rooms, the hypnotically mesmerizing 70-inch flat screen televisions which render the Big Mac big once more. It’s apparent we find food not only nourishing, but strangely comforting and soothing. If we can’t have it plated in front of us, we’re mollified by paintings, photographs and videos of food, hence the term “food porn.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In more civilized cultures, edible art has come to mean actual food (what a concept) plated beautifully…and looking good enough to eat. It’s a concept lost on Andy Rooney, the late curmudgeonly commentator on television\u2019s 60 Minutes. Rooney didn\u2019t like food that\u2019s \u201ctoo carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I\u2019d buy a painting<\/em>.\u201d Japanese diners, for example, not only enjoy, they expect eye-pleasing, artful plating in which everything is where it should be for optimum harmony, balance and appearance, a sort of plate syzygy. The balance of color, texture and appearance makes diners give pause to reflect on how great everything looks before their taste buds confirm what their eyes already know.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Daily Menu Is Actually Printed on a Canvas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Upon learning that a restaurant by the name of “Canvas Artistry” had opened in Albuquerque’s Nob Hill District, my first inclination was “just what we need, another pretentious and expensive restaurant with artistically plated highfalutin cuisine.” That notion was quickly dismissed upon discovering that Canvas Artistry’s chef was none other than Saul Paniagua, a creative culinary genius who can cook high-end stuff with the best of them, but prefers making his delicious creations affordable to the masses. Chef Saul Paniagua, a name many of you will recognize from his stints at 4 Aces Grill<\/a><\/strong> and The Standard Diner<\/a><\/strong> among others, is a South Valley native who’s twice left the Land of Enchantment to hone his formidable skills.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Chef Paniagua is longer in New Mexico.\u00a0 He might not recognize the transformation of the restaurant for which he was the first chef.\u00a0 In his place is Chef AJ Garcia who’s been with Canvas since the Nob Hill days. As with his predecessor, Chef Garcia crafts Canvas Artistry’s seasonal menu with the goal in mind to create \u201can elevated, yet comfort food experience.”\u00a0 He’s doing so at a much larger, much louder and much more diverse menu in the heart of Albuquerque.\u00a0 In 2021, Canvas Artistry relocated to the 3rd Floor Balcony Level of the One Central Building.\u00a0 The views of Central Avenue from the expansive 3rd floor patio are spectacular.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Breakfast Burrito<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At its new home in a much larger space, Canvas Artistry remains a gallery, restaurant, and cocktail bar. During the day, the 1,000-square foot plus restaurant and bar showcases three distinct entities in one: the Chakra Coffee Bar, Bosque Brewing Tap bar and Canvas Kitchen.\u00a0 At 6PM, the space transitions to a rowdy, raucous nightlife venue in which artists can be observed painting while live bands perform during dinner service.\u00a0 After 9PM, Canvas Artistry’s DJs take over, hyping up the crowd with various music styles that inspire dancing and revelry.\u00a0 Walls are festooned with works that display their expressive freedom to express their individual visions guests are free to enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we entered the elevator to ferry us to the third floor, we felt a momentarily sense of guilt.\u00a0 This was our first visit to the Once Central complex in which we weren’t visiting the magnificent Tikka Hut<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Arriving at our destination, we were left agape at the multi-use space.\u00a0 Not only was it much larger than we expected, it was much louder.\u00a0 It surprised us that so many Burquenos would wake up on a Sunday morning and head to Canvas Artistry where the DJs played music at volumes no one with a hangover would appreciate.\u00a0 It disappointed us that the regular menu–fittingly printed on an actual canvas–wasn’t offered on Sunday mornings (and not until 2PM).\u00a0 Instead, a rather uninteresting breakfast-brunch menu was presented.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Steak and Eggs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When a menu with “all the usual suspects” was delivered to our table at 1PM, we had two options–wait until 2PM for the daily menu with its much more assorted options or make the best of the brunch menu.\u00a0 We opted for the latter, reserving the right to return for the more expansive menu at a later date.\u00a0 Besides, when the “usual suspects” includes a behemoth breakfast burrito<\/strong><\/em>, brunch can never be a bad thing.\u00a0 Roughly the size of a thick piece of firewood, this burrito is engorged with a plentitude of hash browns, bacon and (or) sausage and scrambled eggs covered with red and (or) green chile and shredded cheese.\u00a0 Because the red chile includes cumin, I could not have my usual “Christmas” burrito.\u00a0 That turned out well.\u00a0 The green chile is as piquant as any I can remember.\u00a0 That beautiful burn could wake up even the most somnolent of Duke City diner.\u00a0 Available hand-held or smothered, it’s a good burrito.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Chicago born-and-bred Kim is more “traditionalist” when it comes to breakfast and brunch.\u00a0 That is “traditionalist” if you’re from the Midwest where breakfast and brunch consist largely of large slabs of beef.\u00a0 Canvas Artistry’s steak and eggs<\/strong><\/em> plate doesn’t exactly cover the plate, but it’s satisfying and filling.\u00a0 The steak is a six-ounce ribeye trimmed like crustless sandwich bread.\u00a0 It’s seasoned well and much more tender than the stereotypical three-dollar steak.\u00a0 Surprisingly, the hash browns aren’t the thawed, out-of-a-bag variety.\u00a0 They have a homemade quality that makes them more than endearing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Buttermilk Pancakes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recent rains seem to have attracted more flies to Albuquerque than usual–even on the third floor of the One Central Building.\u00a0 It brought to mind a joke by comedian Demetri Martin: “I was making pancakes the other day and a fly flew into the kitchen. And that’s when I realized that a spatula is a lot like a fly-swatter. And a crushed fly is a lot like a blueberry. And a roommate is a lot like a fly eater<\/em>.”\u00a0 We had to remain vigilant to ensure no flies got near our buttermilk pancakes<\/strong><\/em>, some of the most delicious we’ve had in Albuquerque.\u00a0 Though light and fluffy, they’re thick and wonderfully absorbent of butter and syrup.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s too early to declare Canvas Artistry a masterpiece, but it might well be if you get to experience the daily menu. <\/span><\/p>\n
