Explore the green chile war between Colorado and New Mexico 

The tiny town of Hatch, New Mexico alone, would crush all of Colorado...lol.

watching this makes my heart rate increase...NM chile is the best!!!

If it's not grown in the Hatch Valley, then it ain't a Hatch Chile. Darnit!

"Hatch is the generic, Pueblo is the brand". LOL!!! I'm from Oregon, and Hatch green chile is everywhere. Last fall, chile roasters could be found in parking lots in Portland, with signs that read "authentic New Mexico Hatch green chile" and "our chile is not from Colorado". Say it enough Colorado, and it still won't be true.

Colorado has the Rocky's New Mexico has Chili's

There’s nothing to say about Colorado..... New Mexico is The Chile Capital!!

Alright, it was funny at first but come on guys, I have eaten your chile. It really is like comparing apples to oranges. Like one commenter said; they are meatier but they taste like they did not ripen right,......like the sweet buttery heat got dulled, yet it is crisp! I don't fancy the trade off personally as I was born in New Mexico and my first pacifier was a chile pod. The dry heat is what makes a New Mexico chile ripen right! If you wanna mess with the best, at least try your best before you talk shit. Just saying!

NEW MEXICO GREEN CHILE IS BETTER

New Mexico hands down!

New Mexico chilli is way better what war?

My mother's family has been in Pueblo for about 100 years. Southern New Mexico is the Real Deal.

Its funny cause they advertise OUR Hatch chili everywhere, so they like it, but they wanna yap. Good weed growers though, stick to that boys.

There's no rivalry between New Mexico and Colorado. NONE.

Went to college in new Mexico and I've been all over the southwest, nobody is more serious about green Chile than new Mexico.

I’m Denver born and raised and I know better than to think Denver is even on the map for chili. New Mexicans are chili gods!! (Currently living in New Mexico) 😂

Colorado Green Chili is disrespected tbh, it's fantastic

You don't know the meaning of hunger till you go five years without eating a Hatch Chili. I lost my appetite for 2 and a half years all because I went without. When I got just the smell of it my stomach woke up and growled for joy.

I am in the military and I see hatch chille in Germany, WA state, CA no one ever asked for Colorado chille because it's not as good.

I was born and raised in NM, suburbs of Santa Fe to be exact. And yes green chili IS a religion to us NM natives. Like the video says green chili grows in a lot of places and it may 'look' like NM chili but when it comes down to it the flavor is what it's all about!!…… I'm living in Arizona now and every year I usually plan my trip back to see family around the harvest time and I'll usually buy three of the big burlap sacks of chili and have it roasted there I take it back home and freeze it and it keeps me in chili until the next year's harvest..... I've never had Colorado grown chili, but if it's anything like what California passes off as green chili then it is inferior.... That crap that comes out of California doesn't even come close!!….. Give me NM grown chili or nothing at all!! To be fair I know there are some good people in Colorado and they 'might' be able to grow some good chili, but I'd have to taste it before I'd say it's any good.....

this is why NM is called the chile capital NM TRUE

New Mecico has the best red and green chili

There is no war! New Mexico’s green chiles are the real deal, end of story. There is nothing that compares to green chiles grown in hatch nm. This makes me so furious. Did she really call their Chile the “real deal”???

No one's better then NM for red and green chile just ask Bobby Flay

If you know about chile. NM is obviously the victor.

In 2000, the New Mexico Trucks were bringing in Chile from Hatch. Now all the Super Markets have come to know Hatch, yet there are many that don't know the difference from an Anaheim and Hatch. Mellisa got in the game charging 20.00 for a sandwich bag of salsa. But much lower priced peppers can be found and you can make your own salsa, if you know your way around the kitchen. Colorado seems to be something new to me. If they are growing a tasty chili they want to call the best, all the power to them. It is the soil & climate that makes the difference. I hear Pueblo is growing Poblano too. All the power to Colorado. I'll just keep eating chilies.

They’re talking about one type of pepper in Colorado...go down to NMSU and visit the Chile Pepper Institute and you’ll see all the different types of peppers..you can find many edible ornamental peppers that stick upwards as well...but competition is healthy. The best Pueblo chile I’ve ever had was grown at the base of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque. Lol. So I don’t know Colorado, might be in over your heads in this one.

It’s not a war New Mexico is the best. Colorado is just using our name to try to put their chile on the map.

A war in which one side (Colorado) is unarmed is not a war after all.

We should just let New Mexico have the green chili title, that’s about the only thing worth a damn down there.

I live in pueblo, hatch has the best chills in the world, I eat sirloin green chill everyday, pueblo dinomite chill is good ,but hatch is the world's best chills

There is no war New Mexico chili is the best

It even says it on our license plate chili capital of the world, stick to grown weed Colorado

Hatch NM is the chile capital sooooo yall colorado chile is just mild come down to hatch and try ms.june and sombre

Never tried Colorado chili. I was born in Carlsbad N.M. and live in N.E. Az. Flavor is everything! I'll try the Colorado chili because I want to know. Unseating Hatch N.M. chili is a tall order because it's the king of green chili!. I'm competing in a green chili competition tomorrow at work. It's an annual event where we honor our veterans at the power plant where I work. Very stiff competition but my specialty is green chili/onion cornbread. My great Grandmothers cornbread recipe modified by me with green chili and onions. NO SUGAR...that's cake. This cornbread is dense with a crusty bottom and edges! Okie style all the way and made with buttermilk.

Ooo I love sweet peppers, thanks Pueblo! lmao!

Well, I would to have you both on my plate. Love your hard work and passion and I am glad I can find a way to support that. I think having a staple of origin is key to supporting your product This way your product stands out, so I can purchase it, not to be biased. Love you both.

IDK about Colorado, but NM chile is king. It has a blend of flavors that make it uniquely Southwestern. It's not Mexican chile and that's ok. There's plenty of chiles to go around and taste!

This is not an argument or a rivalry, New Mexico has a history of green chile use going back hundreds of years. When I relocated to Denver in 1994 I had a hard time finding a restaurant that had even heard of green chile. This would be like another state starting to enjoy Cajun food for 10-15 years and then claiming they were the leader in that food. I think Louisiana would have something to say about that. You can’t rob a place of it’s history and culture just because you’ve decided you like it too.

No contest. New Mexico Hatch chiles are waaaay better!

Y’all ever here anybody besides people from Colorado say, “ I bought some Colorado green Chili it’s the best “ hell nah people have hatch chili shipped from all over the world. Stay in your lane hitas... I’ll buy weed from you tho😂

Wow. This was on my feed. Green Chile is fine.. But home grown jalapeno? So delicious! I like Hatch Chile and okay with Anaheim but I never heard of pueblo chile. I may try it but I never see it in NM. Next time I'm in Denver, they better have some Green Chile, normally, it's never on the menu.

Lol you know the seeds u grow in pueblo are the seeds that came from Mexico to new mexico to colorado lol so that guy saying your trying to take who,we are in colo sorry but your trying to take who we are in new mexico ... You can grow it but dont say its all yours ..

Colorado can never compete with New Mexico on the chili game🌶️ Go to Denver you can't find chili. Come to New Mexico and is in every store and restart every where....

New Mexico is the chili capital of the world and always be like that. 🇺🇸🌶️🇺🇸

You go online and look for Green chile options, almost all of them are Hatch. Pueblo chiles have not made the marketing scene.

War? New Mexico is the hands down winner. Colorado can't even compete.

New Mexico chile is obviously the best chile

Colorado should focus their effort on what they're go at..................... Skiing. There's no way in hell Colorado out does New Mexico in the chili world!

I've lived all my life (79 years) in Arizona. Have worked extensively in New Mexico. Always tried to be there in August for the chili harvest. Would buy least one 20 pound bag of them and take them home to Phoenix. Roasted, stemmed and peeled chilis are in my freezer all year long. Nothing beats that beautiful Hatch valley where the Rio Grande flows southward. The soil for growing can't be beat west of the Mississippi. Green chili fields for as far as you can see along Hwy 25. Then the fields change To Pecan orchards as you near Las Cruces all the way to El Paso. In August the little town of Hatch NM comes alive like Sturgis South Dakota during bike week. Note: If you travel Southward from Hatch to Las Cruses there is a great Mexican food restaurant in the little dusty historic town of Mesilla, just across the River from Las Cruces. "La Posta" is historical and has been there since the late 1800's when it was a stage stop. The original adobe walls surround the building. Mesilla was the territorial capital of both Arizona and New Mexico before they were divided into two separate states. A block down the street from La Posta is the site of the old court house where Billy the kid was sentenced to hang but escaped. Now a gift shop.

If hatch chilie isn't grown in Hatch New Mexico is it still hatch chilie? If spirits are distilled in Kentucky but aged in Tennessee is it bourbon or whisky?

0:52 when your taking a madd shyt

Mexico green chili is the best I’m from Colorado but my family is from Mexico so my Green Chili recipe I cook comes from Mexico 🇲🇽 b

the funny thing is no one talks about its history and how it became what it is. my family created this Chile "pueblo" aka Mosco and the history makes it more valuable then anything. you constantly hear the farmers take credit for the Chile my great uncle and cousin perfected and no one brings it up. its sad and ill make sure to change that! those farmers who get air time better remember where their family got seed from to do what they do now.

What rivalry? Hatch chilis have a special place in my heart!

My whole families from Deming New Mexico just a half hour south of hatch. And I have to say hatch chili will always be my favorite. Especially the Extra extra hot

How many acres in Texas grow chili?

I hate these "wars" honestly. Anaheim, Hatch, Pueblo... give them all to me. I will love them equally.

Colorado has a type of chilli that no one can get no where else. Becauae there in high elevation so it can effect the chilli pepper. As i'm a Coloradian myself and I have tried y'all peppers it tastes like crap. NM will no longer become the chilli state. Chilli state for Colorado!

Lmao. There isn’t a competition between Colorado and NM. Lmao what 😂😂😂

Colorado, you keep your weed and we'll keep our chili's ok? Colorado has green... not red. If you catch my drift...

What war our Chile is better

Begun the chili wars have!

New Mexico is tops

There’s a reason EVERY burger franchise in New Mexico adds green chili to its menu. Nowhere else

The chile in Colorado is just as good, and definitely hotter than New Mexico. However, the food they make with it is awful compared to NM. New Mexicans should be proud of that. The popularity of NM chile is going to create havoc for NM residents. It's going to cause the prices to go up, and the quality to go down. All the best crop will go to wholesalers that will pay a premium, and that will all go to restaurants and retail stores around the country. Hatch chiles may be the most popular, but there's other varieties that are more sought after because many people believe they are superior to hatch. Chimayo, Estaceno, Khe-wa, Jemez, Escondida, all Northern varieties of Chile, grown in a higher altitude (more sun, cooler nights) than Hatch. So before Hatch fans go crazy on Colorado, they should reconcile why they don't even hold the title for best chile in New Mexico.

There was no war. New Mexico dry heat is perfect for Chile. Colorado been smokeing their green Chile to much to think they were ever in a comp with us. 😂😂😂😂

The difference is the soil. The New Mexico Rio Grande Valley soil is the Italian San Manzano soil. The effect is similar for green chile as for tomatoes. There is nothing Colorado can do to replicate New Mexico soil. Red or Green? New Mexico Christmas ♥️💚

It's not a war. NM wins

Hit me up I'll buy lots of it sent me address thanks pal.

It isn't a war. NM is world renowned.

I can't wait to see in the stores in the Silicon Valley... I love it!

It’s all good. I’m cooking with Peruvian chile today. If you want me to use your chile, put it in the US Chef’Store in my neighborhood.

"war" lol I have BOTH Hatch chiles and Pueblo chiles in my freezer! When it comes to chile, neutrality is the only correct answer.

Why is it that the Mexican restaurants that serve Green chili...are far superior to restaurants i in Albuquerque. Not even close.Talking about those in Denver.

I've worked in Las Cruces 2008 and i know that Hatch Chile's Are the best Hands up.

Pueblo Colorado is using hybrids. I've been saying this for 40 years now.

This was made in new mexico 🤣🤣 bro we just make it better perfection comes with trial and error yes we did it right. 🤣🤣

its not even close , New Mexico Chile is the Cadillac of Chile, I'm willing to say Colorado is 2nd and that aint bad, but there is only one #1 and thats good ole Nuevo Mexico

El chile de Nuevo México es el mejor.

I don't think Colorado knows the customs and several ways of cooking it. Colorado is kinda new to it

Pueblo Chile is a much meatier and flavorful pepper. But everyone here is like "Hatch is best because everywhere has it" it's a supply issue as pointed out. 8000+ acres of new Mexico, vs 700 acres of Colorado. Consumers are switching over to pueblo Chile as the supply increases because it is a better pepper.

colorado you grow the weed well grow the chile

well since we get most our chili from Mexico...yeah..... PUEBLO GREEN CHILI IS THE BEST!!!! Just saying, but New Mexico your chili is outstanding!!!

The Answer is red with no garnish and a side of tortillas.

Colorado has no chili claim New Mexico is the best

Pueblo chile is okay, and it's important to eat your vegetables, but NM chile is the stuff I want. Pueblo chile just doesn't taste as good.

Denver green chile? Denver wack, if theres any war its gonna be puebloe fighting for us

HATCH CHILI STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE CHILI CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!

I wonder how Mexico feels about all this

Pueblo people are so cute... Maybe someday 😉

Pueblo Red..OMG

It doesn’t compare 😂💀😂💀

ONLY ONE CHILE. IT'S CALLED HATCH NEW MEXICAN GREEN CHILE! Anything else is a joke!

First off, Mexican Chile taste like utter shit. Green chile is very specific to New Mexican culture. You wouldn't say green chile is a staple of Colorado culture. LOL.

It is definitely not the chile capital of the world….mexico has them both faded hands down

Pueblo Chile has no flavor

Don’t feel bad Colorado..you have legalized heroin. It’s almost as addicting as Hatch green chilies!

New Mexico’s green chili is a verde 🤣 that ain’t no chili, who are they trying to fool 💀

CHILE NOT CHILI

Lmao people in New Mexico are so prideful of their chile. Yeah their chile is better than colorados lol but our state is still better than NM by a long shot and we can enjoy their chile from here.
