" Our food editor emeritus, Babs Chernetz, travels all over the country\u2014and the world\u2014in search of tasty food. Here&amp;#039;s Babs on one of her latest culinary adventures: a mouthwatering tour of New Mexico.    &amp;quot;Blue Sky Breaking Bad&amp;quot; donut I&amp;#039;m a fanatical fan of the show Breaking Bad, so I was thrilled to have the chance to spend time where it&amp;#039;s filmed: Albuquerque, NM. My first stop was Rebel Donut, where I got a &amp;quot;Blue Sky Breaking Bad&amp;quot; iced donut. The rock candy topping is provided by The Candy Lady, Debbie Ball, who also arranges Breaking Bad experience tours.    Green chile cheeseburger Next on my &amp;quot;must&amp;quot; list was chowing down on a green chile cheeseburger\u2014a dish New Mexico is known for\u2014at Casa de Benavidez. After this hearty lunch, I went to the Gruet Winery to taste some of their delicious vinos, and then took a ride up the observation deck of the Sandia Peak Tramway over 10,000 feet above the Cibola National Forest for a panoramic view of the Rio Grande Valley.    Asparagus with house-made bacon, lemon-mustard aioli, a poached egg, and fresh herb    Dulce de leche pot de cr\u00E8me    Blueberry tart with cornmeal cookie crust and lemon-buttermilk sherbet Finally, I checked in at the family-owned Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm. It&amp;#039;s the ultimate farm-to-fork experience, with everything grown onsite finding its way into delicious dishes created by Executive Chef Jonathan Perno. I had a perfectly-prepared spring dish of asparagus with house-made bacon and lemon-mustard aioli, topped with a poached egg and fresh herbs, and not one but two desserts: a dulce de leche pot de cr\u00E8me and a blueberry tart with cornmeal cookie crust and lemon-buttermilk sherbet.    Breakfast at Los Poblanos Los Poblanos breakfasts feature fresh-squeezed juices, Villa Myriam Colombian coffee, fair-trade tea with Los Poblanos honey, organic milk, yogurt, and granola. The menu changes every day; when I was there, I had toasted local blue cornmeal with eggs and toast, served with house-made green chile sausage. Los Poblanos gives farm tours, and you can buy several of the products produced there, such as lavender oil, goat cheese, granola, and honey. Some baby goats had been born just a few days before I arrived, so that was an extra treat: I got to watch them trying out their wobbly new legs!    Ribeye steak Another night I had a ribeye steak topped with a chervil butter, served with loaded mashed potatoes, at Vernon&amp;#039;s Hidden Valley Steakhouse. My next stop was Santa Fe; if you don&amp;#039;t have a car to make the scenic drive, the Rail Runner Express is a quick, inexpensive, comfortable way to get between the two cities.    Sample dishes at the Santa Fe School of Cooking When I arrived in Santa Fe, I checked in at The Inn and Spa at Loretto. I had arranged to take a culinary walking tour through the Santa Fe School of Cooking. I walked over to the school, where the tour starts with a local chef as your guide. First you enjoy a sampling of several dishes prepared at the school; then the tour continues with private tastings with various chef/owners in town. Dinner that night was at a local favorite, La Choza, for a classic New Mexican plate of enchiladas, carne adobado, and tamales. The next morning I walked around town, went to the farmer&amp;#039;s market, and had a spa treatment at La Posada de Santa Fe, fitting in some shopping on the way.    Beet and goat cheese salad    Green chile-braised short ribs My last night was dinner at Terra, a farm-to-table restaurant in the Four Seasons Resort Santa Fe. Located a short drive outside of town, this was a special treat because of both the food and the setting. Chef Andrew Cooper has created a fantastic menu using local ingredients. I settled on the beet and goat cheese salad with a blood orange vinaigrette, and green chile-braised short ribs with smoked pumpkin, wilted chard, and mushrooms. Both were absolutely sensational! With Breaking Bad ending this summer, it&amp;#039;s the perfect time to pay tribute and make a trip to New Mexico. I know I&amp;#039;ll be back! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
