The Artesian at Ojo Caliente - Santa Fe New Mexico

One of the best experiences I had was at the Ojo Caliente restaurant, called The Artesian (pictured right).  I got in late and needed some food.  It was closing time but they took me in.  Thank goodness because I had two of the best culinary experiences ever.

I’m a very finicky eater but I decided to go out and try some new stuff.

I started with the Artesian “Cowboy Caesar” salad.  Rather than being sardine based, the dressing was based on beef jerky!  What a great idea and one of the best salads I’ve ever had.

Following my salad I had them make me a quesadilla with goat cheese and marinated artichokes.  To quote teenage girls who text for a form of communication, “OMFG!”  Wow that was incredible.
