Product Description
Where can you eat breakfast while overlooking the entire Tularosa Basin? Where can you see funky collections of memorabilia and eclectic art, including possibly the world's largest velvet Elvis? Where can you sample a variety of burritos, huevos rancheros, and chilaquiles, in addition to such delicacies as pinon scones, Americana graburritos, a pork 'n produce omelet, and perhaps the most mysterious: a hen grenade? We've got the answers to all these questions! Imagine having a statewide network of librarians, busily researching the best places for you to have breakfast. Many of the eateries we describe are housed in historic buildings, several are located right on or very close to Historic Route 66, some have been used in films or TV, and more than one claims to be haunted. Breakfast New Mexico Style is a dining guide to over 80 librarian-endorsed restaurants from Carlsbad to Aztec and Tucumcari to Silver City. Included are recommended reading and after breakfast activity suggestions. In person or from your armchair, travel to locales frequented by many of New Mexico's famous and infamous, real and fictional characters: Smokey Bear, Billy the Kid, Robert Goddard, Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert Oppenheimer, Jim Chee & Joe Leaphorn, Claire Reynier, Kevin Kerney, Sasha Solomon, and the enigmatic Ultima, to name just a few.

A great start to the day almost anywhere in New Mexico February 14, 2010

Many places in the United States take great pride in their local foods, but New Mexico is the only place I know where restaurants advertise their wonderful breakfasts with such vigor. (Saving, of course, fancy hotels, that can make two poached eggs sound sublime -- and match the price to the prose to boot.)
It was several visits before I started to actually eat some of the highly lauded breakfasts, and I was surprised to learn how good (and inexpensive) they often were. That's why I'm so pleased to find this well researched travel book with a unusual point of view. And, because both authors are librarians, the list of additional reading is really outstanding. (The authors called on the help of 35 of their librarian friends around the state to make their book as accurate and up-to-date as possible.
The authors describe the wide range of foods served for breakfast in New Mexico: "There are so many exciting breakfast options in New Mexico. Traditional foods include tortillas, beans, eggs, chorizo (red sausage), and red and green chile. These tasty elements serve as a palette for New Mexico's artistic cooks and chefs. Creative cooks mix and match ingredients to make a wide variety of breakfast dishes. Offerings start with the traditional burrito and Mexican omelet, but can range to wildly imaginative breakfast sandwiches and the hands down, no doubt about it, most incredibly named menu item: the Hen Grenade. Breakfast in New Mexico can easily be the most memorable meal of the day."
Each entry describes the restaurant in some detail, the authors's favorite dishes, a suggestion for something to work off the calories after your meal, and a list of additional reading relevant to the restaurant or its location.
Delicious reading, delicious eating. Well done indeed.
