Tasting New Mexico: From Green Chile Stew to Fusion Delights with Guy Fieri

New Mexico—known as the Land of Enchantment—is a unique and beautiful state full of stunning landscapes, rich heritage, and a rich food history. Guy visits a mix of spots, from traditional to fusion. I can’t wait to try them out and see what gluten-free options we can discover!

New Mexico’s food scene includes iconic dishes like green chile stew and fry bread tacos, and it’s famous for its flavorful meats, hearty Basque cuisine, and authentic Southwestern fare. Guy visited an impressive array of spots—mostly in Albuquerque and the charming, historic city of Santa Fe. I’m excited to dive in, Guy style, and savor all these unique flavors!
