Hi-D-Ho brands itself as "Home of the Tiger Burger," a patty-patty voted the #1 cheeseburger in Otero County. And, woo-wee, it was dang good! Large with a perfect balance of beef, cheese, and chile flavors, I was in heaven, the best green chile cheeseburger I've had since I'd had a revelation of a burger in Carrizozo some 20 years ago.

A couple years ago I bought a t-shirt that showed a dumpster with “2020” written on the side and its contents on fire. I wish I could get an “s” added to the end of “2020” since our roaring twenties seem to be roaring out of control with the pandemic, war in Europe, and shooting after shooting.
