New Mexico Green Chile Company Meets Chicago
Two weeks ago, New Mexico Green Chile Company attended the National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show & Convention in Chicago. While we had a lot of fun, we also learned a few things along the way and we thought we’d share some of them with you!
Rule #1. Never wear high heels to a food trade show. The convention is so large that it took two days to adequately cover and see the entire show. Maybe it was the wind that convinced us to wear our stilettos (we’re still not quite sure) but we will never make that mistake again!
Rule #2. One can only imagine all of the tempting samples that can be found at a food show. So, it’s only common sense that we decided to try them all, especially the wine and cheese! Always remember, choose everything in moderation.
Rule #3. We’re still not sure why some people are so unfortunate to never have seen, tasted or cooked a Hatch green chile but Chicago makes no exception. We learned that no one in Chicago knows what Hatch green chile is...Yet.
Rule #4. Do you have the itch to become the next Betty Crocker? Is Paula Deen your idol? Not to worry…If you ever need to make anything, there is a machine to do so, we promise. Tamales, pasta, ravioli, tea, eggs, steaks, sliders, cheese, wine labels, etc. If you can dream of it, a machine exists for it.
Rule #5. Chicago is home to some amazing restaurants. Although we didn’t get to try them all, we learned that when colleagues want to take you to a 7-course dinner in little Italy, always say yes!
Rule #6. Living in Texas, steaks are a way of life. So if any of you Texans make your way to the Windy Cindy, be sure to stop by the Chicago Chop House in downtown Chicago. There, you’ll find the best dry-aged steak ever!

I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome. sgjjwv sgjjwv - justin bieber supra.
