Calling all New Mexico Chefs and Restaurants!

It’s time to throw your spatula in the ring to compete in the 2019 Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown!

This is an open call to all New Mexico restaurants and food trucks to participate in the 2019 Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown. There are only fifteen (15) slots available and they are reserved on a first come, first serve basis. If you want to participate you can simply reserve your spot by responding to this email by June 3. Attached you will find the official invitation and must agree to all the terms and conditions.

Finalists will be determined by a secret panel of judges visiting all 15 contender restaurants during the month of July. This panel will select seven finalists, which will then move on to the Smackdown on Saturday, September 7 at The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Co. We strongly believe having the finalists determined by a secret panel of judges vs. an online voting platform levels the playing field.

The seven finalists will cook 800 samples for a hungry crowd at the final Smackdown where judging for “Top Burger” and “People’s Choice Award” will be held at The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Co. (37 Fire Pl, Santa Fe) on Saturday, September 7 from 1pm – 5pm. 

Feel free to reach out with any questions and reserve your spot quickly, as they will go fast.
