@ossobuco,
Can't remember if I posted on this, but I knew from others the best burger in the Albuquerque area is at the Indigo Crow restaurant in Corrales - but only at lunch time, when I am virtually never there. Years have gone by..
Some pals visited and we went there, and yes, the burgers were great. If only I lived within blocks away..
real meat nice and thick, cooked as requested, good bun not made of balloon bread, some caramelized onions and gorgonzola among the choices. Not expensive.
