Quotable Johnny Vee

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Wow- I’m quotable in a big story on Santa Fe in National Geographic Traveler Magazine. Cool.
“Delight Your Tastebuds- Santa Fe has long been on the gourmet’s itinerary, both for its celebrity chef-helmed restaurants and its pioneering use of red and green chili at places like Café Pasqual’s. Chef John Vollertsen, food editor at Santa Fean, recommends Atrisco Cafe and Bar, with its healthier take on time-honored recipes (try the whole-wheat sopapillas), and Max’s, where chef Brian Rood makes a memorable roasted green chile shrimp and grits. “He’s going to be Santa Fe’s next great chef,” predicts Vollertsen.”
