New Mexico Chow: Restaurants for the Rest of Us

Summary: Energetic reviews delivered with wit, wisdom, and humor
Review: New Mexico Chow: Restaurants For The Rest Of Us by Albuquerque-based food writer and chef Scott Sharot is a unique guide to a diversity of unique and sometime unexpected New Mexico dining establishments. While there are four-diamond restaurants with international reputations listed, there are also others which are Short's favorite and time-tested places that aren't really restaurants by traditional definition. Among them is a blue trailer that can be found (sometimes) parked on the side of the road near Santa Fe. Others are modest storefront establishments that double as ethnic food markets. Featuring almost one hundred restaurants (by what ever definition), New Mexico Chow showcases Sharot's short, succinct, energetic reviews delivered with wit, wisdom and humor. Sharot doesn't rate the different and differing restaurants other to guarantee that each and ever one of his selections offers "darn good chow" at a darn good price. If you are planning to eat out anywhere in New Mexico, then secure yourself a copy of Scott Sharot's New Mexico Chow!

Review: This was my first visit to New Mexico. I traveled extensively and I could not imagine being on the road without this book. It was just as essential to me as a highway map.
Unlike other Restaurant guides , this book gives unique comments by the author about each restaurant as well his top menu picks , they helped me make the restaurant selection process effortless.
The book is wery well written and gives critical information that helps you select where to eat . I have not found any other restaurant guide as easy and enjoyable to use . Typical information given includes items like: house specialties ,vegetarian options,ambiance,type of service ,credit cards , getting there and many many other pertinent information.The author detailed comments are invaluable and concisely written .
As a visitor to New Mexico I enjoyed great food thanks to this guide . You know what to expect before you walk in the restaurant .I highly recommend this Book
