It seems like everyone has an opinion on where to find the best green chile in town. So why do so many of these lists feature spicy green sauces that are specifically NOT Denver-style green chile? And what makes a green chile stand out? Host Bree Davies is chatting with our politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval about what green chile is and isn’t, how it became Colorado’s signature cuisine, and, of course, her top 5 places to eat it in Denver.


Who do you think serves Denver’s best green chile? We want to hear your spicy chile takes! Text or leave us a voicemail with your name and neighborhood, and you might hear it on the show: 720-500-5418‬
