Though he lives in New York City, Bobby Flay is always on the road, as his restaurant (and television) empire spans the country. And while there are plenty of good things to eat in his hometown, including the saffron linguine at his latest restaurant, Gato, Flay has his eyes set on the culinary happenings of one state in particular: New Mexico.
"I think New Mexico had its moment like 25 years ago, when Southwestern food was just becoming an important thing in this country, and now it's having a comeback," Flay told Food and Wine at Savor Borgata Food & Wine Festival in Atlantic City, naming Santa Fe and Albuquerque as two of the state's most interesting food cities. "I think the outer regions of New Mexico are important, too. Don’t forget there’s so much Native American culture there, and it doesn’t get played out in our cuisine very often. Nobody uses the red and green chiles of this country anywhere else in their food, and it's such an important part of what we do in this country."
