“A lot of people make new friends here, too. It’s a New Mexican town hall,” Browne said. “People come together, meet new people (and) get ideas.”
Journalist Jeff Proctor moved to New Mexico in 2002. Though he has always been a fan of green chile, he said it took him a while to warm up to the pepper as a pizza topping. Recently, he posted on X about how he changed his mind, and the post blew up.
“I’ve been a journalist for 22 years,” Proctor said. “It crushes my soul that I’ve been sharing journalism on that website for more than a decade, and nothing ever got anywhere close to that much engagement. It was a wild thing to observe.”
New Mexicans don’t get to have a lot of nice things that are uniquely ours, Proctor said.
“Everybody recognizes us as the greatest at something,” Proctor said. “And, you know, chile is one of those things. So it’s part of the sort of national zeitgeist and culture in that way, I think.”
