Foodies always know the best places to eat. And the biggest foodies are (logically) the ones who work in the food industry. With that in mind, Local iQ hand-picked some of the most knowledgeable food professionals (current or former) and foodies (including iQ columnists and staffers) in the Duke City for the premiere of the magazine’s  Golden Fork Awards.

 

We asked them to cast votes for their favorite dishes in town — from pizza and pasta to pancakes and Pad Thai. The answers we received were compiled, tabulated and resulted in a list of local dishes that, while obviously subjective in every manner, ended up working like an informal insider’s food guide to Albuquerque. Should you hold on to this issue and refer back to it when you’re looking for the best pho in town? Why not? Or, just dial up this story at local-iq.com Keyword: Golden Fork. Happy reading, happy eating.

Tough category as there are many restaurants in town serving delicious salads, but edging out everyone is Farm & Table (though no specific salad was named in any of the answers). May we suggest the Orange Tarragon Roasted Beet?
