The New Mexico State Fair is now accepting applications for its Original Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge. One New Mexico restaurant will be crowned the fair’s “Green Chile Cheeseburger Champion” — but only eight will be selected to participate.
Competition Details
The competition, an annual tradition at the fair, brings local state restaurants to fire up their grills to cook up their best green chile cheeseburger within 20 minutes. The event is scheduled for Sept. 14 in Albuquerque.
EXPO New Mexico said all New Mexico restaurants can apply for the competition as long as they are brick-and-mortar-established. Applications close July 17 at noon, and applicants can expect a $25 non-refundable fee.
