Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Welcome to Local Obsession, where we highlight niche regional specialities. Every region has a food they are obsessed with-in Hatch, New Mexico, that something is chiles. In this pilot, we meet characters like Jo Lytle of Hatch Chile Express and Dr. Paul Bosland (aka Dr. Pepper, aka The Chile Man of New Mexico State University's Chili Pepper Institute. Throughout, we learn about green chiles and red chiles (they come from the same plant, that the correct spelling is chile (not chili) and that New Mexican chiles is best served with enchiladas, tacos, and burritos-or really, with anything, if you ask most New Mexicans. Kevin: My favorite time of year is when the aroma of chile roasters fills the air! From mid August to mid October (if your lucky) you can get the best tasting products in New Mexico. I grew up in Albuquerque, now residing in Glendale, Arizona. Come chile season we take that yearly trek and load up on both Red and Green! The life blood for the next year. Gracias Dios por Chile Verde y Rojo (Thank God for Green and Red Chile! GET YA SOME!

Chile is thought to have first developed because the corn diet ancient Americans ate was boring, hard to digest/eat/chew and was generally horrible. Chile-s broke up that monotony and allowed people to enjoy the other disgusting crap they ate. And of course a numb tongue can help mask shit food. --This was at least 3-5k ya I think the food being relatively bad was because we were still -modifying- it into its current form. Imo Chile was the first mass produced crop that was bred for taste rather than caloric value.

What I don't think most non-new mexican's watching this understand is that the lady wasn't exaggerating. We literally eat chili EVERYDAY, sometimes every meal. Burrito for breakfast? Chile. Burger or pizza for lunch? Chile. Smothered cheese fires? Chile! Dinner? Enchiladas or any other Mexican dish = chile! Making pasta? chili in the sauce. Green chile chicken alfredo? Delicious!

Demming has the hottest, most intense chile I've ever had. I'm not a local, but my best friend is (Sandia Park, ABQ. I love New Mexican Chile. One of my favorite foods of all time. I remember getting a cheeseburger at Blake's and the spice sending me into a euphoric coma. That, and the Frontier burrito (the sweet roll is also a must.

I'm also addicted to chillies, got two plants in the backyard, never ending supply of bird's eye chillies. I sometimes add them fresh or put them in the oven for 30 mins on low heat, to get that roasted/char flavour. Then i put them in a grinder and grind them to whatever meat/rice i eat.

You can-t say New Mexico without Mexico. All this -Authentic- food IS Mexican. I live in New Mexico and I guarantee all you-re Gramas Gramas Where Mexican! Good food but the origin is from Mexico even used to belong to Mexico back then. Y-all welcome

White people talking about chili-s like they invented using it and developed the recipes ----- don-t go to white people and ask about cooking with Chili. Just like asking whites about making bbq ------ better off asking a brotha lol

For those love spicy, when you travel to Malaysia, please try our daily chilies - Bird Eye (SHU 150, 000) and if you visiting a Borneo, look for Sarawak Habanero (SHU 350, 000. Some even eat it like a salad.

I dont think people understand how special hatch chile is. At first I tried to spread the word but I've since shut my mouth. I don't want too many people to figure it out and ruin a good thing.
