Fodor's Expert Review Dr. Field Goods Kitchen

Ardent foodies regularly trek 4 miles south along traffic-choked Cerrillos Road to experience one of the more memorable "down home" farm-to-table dining adventures in Santa Fe. Situated in a nondescript shopping center, chef/owner Josh Gerwin serves up boldly flavored comfort cuisine that is a favorite of both locals and tourist, thanks to appearances on TV shows such as Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Start with the patatas bravas (with chile aioli and cheese or kimchi) or the addictive carne adovada egg roll, and move on to the savory signature New Mexican sandwich, stuffed to bursting with house-smoked green chile pulled pork and crispy apple-jicama slaw. If that's not adventurous enough, the Bad Ass BLT (the base of which is a 9-ounce wood-fired patty of bacon) is sure to make an impact. Don't worry, there are healthier options, too, including a warm kale salad in a class all its own. For those who brought a cooler or have access to a kitchen while visiting Santa Fe, Gerwin also operates a butcher shop and bakery under the same name a few doors down, where you can order a quick sandwich or take home local meats to prepare on your own.
