An edible New Mexico event, presented by La Montañita Co-op
It’s that time of year when we invite chefs to throw their spatulas in the ring and throw down to become the reigning champs. Thanks to our attendees and their iron stomachs, the Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown has become one of New Mexico’s favorite annual foodie events—and we sell out every year! Your votes will determine the “People’s Choice Award” winner. A panel of local foodie celebrities will judge the ultimate “Reigning Chomp” Winner.
See you in 2026! Tickets go on sale July 1, 2026.
