Let them eat SPAM!

[BeardedOverland]

maybe Arizona isn't as bad as I thought....(well, at least the very northern part...)

we were boondocking outside of page, az a couple weeks ago and decided to take a shower and put on something with sleeves and buttons and go into town to eat. we found a place called the rustic thistle and decided on it. I was going thru the breakfast menu when I saw "Build your own Breakfast Burrito" and it listed SPAM as one of the meat options! Yes! a nice restaurant in Arizona is serving SPAM on its menu.

(they also have glazed pork belly and andouille sausage...this isn't a restaurant, its a National Treasure!)

it was pretty good. actually, Arizona has held my record for the best burrito at a place called javalina cantina in Sedona. been going there the last 15 yrs and it has been holding the #1 spot all this time. however...on the way to gila NF this time, we stopped in hatch, nm and there I went into a very unassuming hole-in-the-wall place that served what can only be called THE BURRITO OF ALL BURRITOS, pork slow cooked in green chillies and then smothered with a green chillie sauce that was simply perfection. this burrito could bring about world peace, its that good...

I lived in Chandler in the late 60s and later went back to az and lived in Thatcher late 70s...so I've always been a fan of Arizona, but now New Mexico is looking pretty good! and when it comes to burritos, I consider myself a bit of an expert as seen in this thread Rolling a fatty in the Ozarks.....
