New BBQ roadside with a rolling smoker outside the liquor store in Pojoaque. So far I have only had the brisket -- but the best brisket I have ever had. They don't have a sign yet, but doing well by word-of-mouth.

I like the meat at Josh's BBQ better than Whole Hog, but I like WH sauces better. Need to buy me some sauce and get some take out from Josh's!

Two thumps up!!

Diego's is now closed for business.

They nearly cost me my life.

Last week I tried Backroads Pizza for the first time. It was excellent. I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars. The sauce was what made the pizza. The other ingredients were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is very casual and homey. The staff friendly and efficient. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the price....$30 bucks for a pizza and salad, no drinks. That's a bit high for me, but expected in Santa Fe.

Thumbs up for Backroad Pizza.

On Election Day, we ate breakfast at a tiny little place out here on Hwy. 285 right across from the Eldorado main entrance. It is called the Blue Moon Cafe -- looks like a Mom and Pop operation. Been here for a year now.

Our breakfast was excellent -- huge portions, good menu choices for such a small place, low prices, seemed to have a good business going -- half the tables were occupied. They even have a drive thru.

Only problem: the green chile was mild. Not a deal breaker, but I would have preferred it hotter.

We have eaten out a lot this past week with out of town guests: La Choza, Maria's, Guadalupe Cafe, Harry's Roadhouse, Plaza Cafe, and Tecolote Cafe. Every place was excellent. YUMMMM.

Can't go wrong with any of those!

As mentioned earlier, O is really good. They have a nice wine list. It seems everyone haschosen to overlook the Oar House. I think the food is good but the prices are lofty. If you go further north to Los Alamos the Hill Diner has a few very good selections on their menu. I also agree that Embudo Station is wonderful........I know the Chef personally. They were featured on Bobby Flay's Food Network program a few years ago. Jeronimo's on Canyon is very pricey but what an experience. I like Jinja's as well.
