These are the opinions and adventures of a Washington, D.C.-based epicure as he cooks and eats around town and around the country. Sometimes witty, sometimes laudatory, sometimes acid, La Cuvée Americaine is an always-truthful account of the food journeys, restaurant visits, and culinary thoughts of the D.C. Gourmand.

Albuquerque
What is it about this town and green chiles? Everywhere I go to eat, the food is full of green chiles. I just had a nice buffet dinner at the Sandia Casino (I only won $10.50 more than I started with tonight), and the food was all redolent with chiles. And this afternoon, I pulled through the McDonald's drivethrough, and my $1 double cheeseburger had a green chile on it! It was the same last month when I was here....the only place that didn't have green chiles in the food was Starbucks. Oh, well. I guess it's a tourist thing. I'd rather they did blue corn tortillas, though.
