Dos Green Chile Cheeseburgers de San Antonio

San Antonio is a small agricultural town in central New Mexico, planted near the Rio Grande at the edge of the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. US Route 380 begins here and heads east across the desert, skirting the northern boundary of White Sands Missile Range and passing near Trinity Site, where the first nuclear device was detonated in 1945. The town is best known for its Green Chile Cheeseburgers, a long-running regional rivalry carried by two landmark establishments: the Buckhorn Tavern and The Owl Bar and Cafe, the latter a historic stop with rustic decor and a reputation for feeding Manhattan Project scientists traveling from nearby Trinity Site. - AsNotedIn
