Xeltifon works as a doorman in Albuquerque and writes a blog called Random Musings, Cont’d. Today, he waxes ecstatic about a blue-cheese green chile burger he ate at a place on Central Avenue.
It’s right up there with the Owl Cafe in San Antonio in terms of sheer distinctiveness — I’ve never encountered anything like it before. Made to *perfection*, through and through. Danish blue and fresh-ground meat on a toasted bun from some little local craft bakery. Not too fancy, not too plain. Perfect. What diner food *should* be.
Homemade root beer, too.
The cafe where he ate was the Route 66 Malt Shop, which is at 1720 Central Ave. SW. And it turns out the root beer is highly praised in other quarters. Luke’s Root Beer Reviews put it in the Top 10 twice.
It sounds like a must-visit place the next time I’m in the Duke City.
