Entrance to the Adobe Deli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2009\u00a0 I had the great privilege of helping compile the inaugural New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail along with the scintillating, four-time James Beard award-winning author Cheryl Alters Jamison<\/strong><\/a>;<\/strong> the brilliant\u00a0Kate Manchester, founding publisher of Edible Santa Fe; and one of New Mexico\u2019s finest ambassadors, Martin Leger, then advertising manager for the New Mexico Department of Tourism. \u00a0We discussed dozens of potential candidates for inclusion into the inaugural Trail. \u00a0\u00a0 Narrowing down those “most worthy” was like selecting the best and brightest stars on a clear, cold New Mexico winter night.<\/p>\n

Between the four of us, we had (over the years, not in one seating) voraciously consumed green chile cheeseburgers at an almost embarrassing number of restaurants, drive-ins, diners, dives, joints, cafes, roadside stands and even bowling alleys. \u00a0Ultimately we narrowed down the number of selections to what we believed were the very best green chile cheeseburgers from throughout the Land of Enchantment.\u00a0 Our list was well vetted, our research meticulous (and delicious) and our bellies full.\u00a0 There’s no way we could possibly have missed any of the Land of Enchantment’s best green chile cheeseburgers…or was there?<\/p>\n

The Dining Room Includes a Bar and Pool Table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During a long overdue visit to the Adobe Deli about eight miles east of Deming, I enjoyed what might well be the very best green chile cheeseburger I’ve ever had.\u00a0 Sure, I’m prone to hyperbole, but this burger checked all the boxes…especially memorability. \u00a0 What most set the Adobe Deli’s “Hamburger Deluxe”\u00a0 apart, however, is the freshness and moistness of a beef patty which is essentially ground steak, a thick half-pound of beef prepared to your exacting specifications.\u00a0 It’s one of the things Cheryl looks for in a great burger.<\/p>\n

Surely this behemoth burger had to be on the Trail…but it wasn’t.\u00a0 How could we possibly have missed it?\u00a0\u00a0 For one thing, the Adobe Deli is a bit out of the way, a culinary oasis in a landscape strewn with tumbleweeds and scrub brush .\u00a0 For another, the Adobe Deli is known for its locally raised steak.\u00a0 Diners drive far and wide to enjoy slabs of beef reputed (deservedly so) to be among the very best in New Mexico.\u00a0 Lastly, the Adobe Deli has become famous for its whimsical “destination like no other” ambiance.\u00a0 Visitors and guests find a labyrinth of museum quality antiques and taxidermied animals posed to simulate them in action.\u00a0 NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 Below the restaurant information section you’ll find several additional photographs that depict the uniqueness of the Adobe Deli.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Chrissy, our Wonderful Server Took Great Care of Us<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But first, the green chile cheeseburger.\u00a0 The menu doesn’t actually list a green chile cheeseburger.\u00a0 It lists a “Hamburger Deluxe<\/strong><\/em>.”\u00a0 On the menu, this burger is subtitled “More than just a hamburger.\u00a0 It is a monster!\u00a0 The King Kong cuisine<\/em>.”\u00a0 You can pile on as many ingredients as you’d like.\u00a0 As Chrissy, our wonderful server listed options I repeated “yes<\/em>” to each one: grilled onions, bacon and of course green chile and cheese.\u00a0 I’ve found that five is the optimum number of ingredients for burger excellence.\u00a0 At first bite, I recognized the greatness of this burger. and in my mind’s eye can still recall its deliciousness with a clarity that leaves me drooling.<\/p>\n

Though I can take or leave steak, the flavor of chopped steak and and paucal ingredients between buns is irresistible to me,,,when it’s done as well as the Adobe Deli does it.\u00a0 Only one burger’s beef in the Land of Enchantment is in the same stratosphere as the Adobe Deli beef.\u00a0 That would be the Monte Carlo Steakhouse <\/strong><\/a>whose beef is a also superb.\u00a0 Prepared at a “medium” degree of doneness, the beef patty at Adobe Deli ekes out Monte Carlo’s as New Mexico’s best.\u00a0 Trust me!\u00a0 It’s moist, juicy and so full of flavor it can make grown men swoon.\u00a0 Sesame seed buns are bursting at their edges with ingredients.\u00a0 Most prominently is the beef patty which has got to be close to a half-pound.\u00a0 Seriously, I may move to Deming just for this burger.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Our Table Was Directly Below This Ferocious Lion. I Would Have Fought Him for my Green Chile Cheeseburger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sandwiches are served with your choice of French fries, onion rings or potato chips.\u00a0 The aforementioned burger additives (cheese, bacon, Hatch green chile) are a dollar apiece.\u00a0 On top of the $17 price of the Deluxe burger, it’s a twenty-dollar plus (with tax) investment in joy (and maybe lust).\u00a0 The sandwich menu includes such tempting offerings as a sausage and pepper hero, French dip and buffalo burger.\u00a0 There’s a separate section on the menu for sandwiches constructed with ubiquitous Boar’s Head products.\u00a0 Please tell me the “Deli” part of the restaurant’s name isn’t because of the Boar’s Head deli meats.<\/p>\n

Like so many others who make their way to the Adobe Deli, it isn’t solely the culinary fare that drew us in.\u00a0 In some ways the Adobe Deli is like a Disneyland for those of us who love New Mexican and Old West history.\u00a0 As boldly declared on the website, it’s a “destination like no other<\/em>.”\u00a0\u00a0 Deli is the brainchild of native New Yorker Van Jacobson who launched the restaurant some forty years ago.\u00a0 Listen to Jacobson speak and you’d swear he’s got a Western cowboy accent. There’s no discernible New Yoik accent left. \u00a0 On the rural sprawl outside Deming, Jacobson has found his niche, a restaurant and watering hole unlike any other.<\/p>\n

\"\"
French Onion Soup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On an interview<\/strong><\/a> posted on Adobe Deli’s website, the host described Adobe Deli as a “full-on Animal House<\/em>.”\u00a0 Former New Mexico Tourism Secretary Monique Jacobson<\/strong><\/a> (no relation to Adobe Deli’s owner) raved about its “wild west atmosphere<\/em>” complete with “stuffed animals, comical signs and other oddities making up the decor<\/em>.”\u00a0 Even before we stepped inside, we were magnetically drawn to the working ranch trappings of the property.\u00a0 There didn’t seem to be any sense of order though thematically it’s definitely a place that definitely appreciates the Old West and has a love affair with New Mexico.\u00a0 Bric-a-brac and sundry Old West items were strewn about.<\/p>\n

Step inside and the chaos continues.\u00a0 There is something to see everywhere you turn.\u00a0 PETA wouldn’t appreciate all the taxidermied animals, but most visitors do.\u00a0 Animals–everything from cougars and mountain lions to antelope and snakes–are staged in live action poses.\u00a0 We sat directly beneath a ferocious looking lion seemingly leaping from its perch to attack us–or at least our food.\u00a0 \u00a0 REMINDER<\/strong>:\u00a0 Below the restaurant information section you’ll find several additional photographs that depict the uniqueness of the Adobe Deli.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Corn Nuggets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s so much more to the Adobe Deli than museum quality antiques, animals and my favorite of all those animals, the green chile cheeseburger.\u00a0 The menu<\/strong><\/a>–available for lunch, dinner and brunch–starts off with more snacks and appetizers than any three other restaurants offer.\u00a0 Sandwiches and Boar’s Head Deli sandwiches are plentiful, too.\u00a0 Then there’s the entrees section of the menu where you’ll find six colossal steaks, including a Porterhouse that “Takes two servers just to bring it out<\/em>!”\u00a0 Despite the menu’s caution that “Horses, dogs, and children are to be kept outside, unless the children are willing to bus tables,<\/em>” there’s a children’s menu and everywhere we turned at the restaurant, children of all ages were afoot.<\/p>\n

Former Tourism Department Secretary Monique Jacobson raved about Adobe Deli’s French onion soup<\/strong><\/em>, declaring it among the best she’s had.\u00a0 We might have had similar inklings had we not\u00a0 enjoyed rapture with French onion soup at Silver City’s La Vie Est Un Bistro<\/strong><\/a> just three days previous.\u00a0 Adobe Deli’s version is very traditional and very good.\u00a0 It’s got a beefy broth and a curtain of melted Gruyere.\u00a0 Pierce that curtain and you’re welcomed by gloriously sweet, lightly caramelized onions and a small slice of disintegrating French bread.\u00a0 Epicurious<\/strong><\/a> may have said it best: “Leave it to the French to make a glorious, silky soup from a vegetable as ordinary as an onion<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"
My New Favorite Green Chile Cheeseburger. I Dream About This One!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Among the seven or eight-thousand items on the “Snacks and Appetizers” menu, leave it to us to find one we didn’t like.\u00a0 We’ve had sweet<\/strong><\/em> corn nuggets<\/strong><\/em> at other restaurants and have usually enjoyed them.\u00a0 Corn nuggets, a variation of corn fritters, should always be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. \u00a0 Where the chef failed is in using a batter that is too thick then frying the nuggets for too long.\u00a0 We sent them back and received a better batch.<\/p>\n

Though she tends to prepare steak at least once every two weeks, my Kim will never pass up a thick slab of steak at every steakhouse we visit.\u00a0\u00a0 Adobe Deli’s ribeye<\/strong><\/em> is at least an inch-thick and richly marbled.\u00a0 Moreover it glistens with moistness and the telltale sign of grill “stripes” that bespeak it how it was prepared.\u00a0 At a “medium” degree of doneness, this is one of the very best steaks we’ve had in New Mexico.\u00a0 High-end steakhouse restaurants offer a similar steak for two or three times the cost and I’ll bet it’s not nearly as good.\u00a0 Yes, this is Gil, the “take steak or leave it” blogger) declaring that this is a great steak. \u00a0 Regular readers know I much prefer baked potato to steak.\u00a0 My Kim, perhaps not wanting me to eat most of her baked potato, opted instead for Texas fries, gigantic planks of superb “best in New Mexico” quality fries.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Ribeye with Texas-Sized Fries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our Chrissy, our wonderful server.\u00a0 Blessed with a cheeky sense of humor and iridescent personality, she single-handedly waited on tables, mixed and served drinks and generally kept everyone happy.\u00a0 We had such a good time with her.<\/p>\n

The Adobe Deli is now home to the best green chile cheeseburger I’ve had in my decades of enjoying New Mexico’s sacrosanct sandwich.\u00a0 It’s also home to a tremendous menu of steaks and so much more.\u00a0 If you’ve never considered Deming a potential culinary destination, think again.\u00a0 A trip (or ten) to The Adobe Deli) will hook you.<\/p>\n
