I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
The Land of Enchantment is known for many things — natural wonders, Route 66, and the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. It’s also known for New Mexican cuisine which includes carne adovada, chili rellenos, and sopaipillas. And while our state isn’t exactly famous for BBQ, maybe it should be. With locations in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque, Whole Hog Café offers mouthwatering and award-winning BBQ in New Mexico and it’s worth checking out.
If you love BBQ, then Whole Hog Café is the place to go. Whether you're in Santa Fe or Albuquerque, there's a location in each city.
Whole Hog Café has won numerous awards and accolades for its Memphis-style barbecue and has even been featured in media outlets like Fodor's Travel, Sunset Magazine, and more.
Featuring dry-rubbed and smoked meats, you've probably never had BBQ as flavorful as this before. The ribs alone have won many awards and Whole Hog is also well-known for its brisket, pulled pork, and chicken.
Speaking of sides, as with any BBQ place, sides are a huge deal here. Whether it's chips, salad, jalapeño mac and cheese, coleslaw, or baked beans, you can take many of these items to go. And, believe me, you'll want to take some BBQ and sides from Whole Hog home!
