Albuquerque/Santa Fe Food-need suggestions
My work is sending me to Albuquerque for a few months and I need to know where to eat (and any other advice on what to do with my scant free time here).

Oh man, you are going at the best time! Its chile roast season :D :D :D I myself am taking a road trip up there to get a couple bags of roasted chiles. I haven't lived there in quite a while, so I can't recommend any specific restaurants, but honestly they are all good. Just be prepared to defend your position on green vs. red with your life.

If you need breakfast you want to go to the Santa Fe Baking Co. They have awesome breakfast burritos and coffee. Plus fresh lemonade.

Here are my Santa Fe suggestions. I lived there for a year, and made it my business to know where good food was served.
Chocolate Maven: I used to work there. I love their carrot cake cupcakes, chocolate croissants, and they offer a tasty brunch on the weekends.
La Boca: A Spanish tapas restaurant by James Campbell that's to die for! I actually got engaged here, and even though that didn't last, I'm still thinking about the meal.
Clafoutis: A great French bakery that offers delicious lunch options.
Harry's Roadhouse: A classic joint on the outskirts of town that serves up good food and rotates specials.
Bobcat Bite: Also a bit out of Santa Fe, but they make a mean burger. Has often made some of the top national burger lists, but if you don't feel like making the trip. I was a sucker for Blake's Lottaburger.
For more suggestions, check out the SF Reporter. I really respect their food writers' opinions.

In Santa Fe, go to Pasquale's.
One of my favorite restaurants in the whole world.

Thanks, y'all! It sounds like I'll be doing a lot of my eating in Santa Fe. That works for me!
