Green Chile

Arriving by way of New Mexico, the spicy stew known as green chile is something of a religion in Denver, and like many Denverites, I’m a bit of an extremist. The hotter, the better, just keep my water glass filled and the beers coming. I want to feel the pain; I want to go to the other side. Brow sweating, endorphins rushing, hunkered down over an especially hot bowl or plate, worshipping the fire god by letting him dance on my tongue, I’m in rapture, simultaneously heavenly and hellish, but mostly the former. Denver eateries that are known for their green chile each have their own unique spin on the dish, ranging from vegetarian to pork-centric, from mild to inferno.

Best places to get a bowl or plate: I’m partial to Jack-N-Grill (2524 Federal Blvd., Denver, 303/964-9544), Brewery Bar II (150 Kalamath St., Denver, 303/893-0971), and El Tejado (2651 S. Broadway, Denver, 303/722-3987).
