Phat Stax, the burger joint in Nob Hill, is hardly Albuquerque’s first food truck turned brick-and-mortar restaurant.

The hits keep coming for Campo at Los Poblanos. In April, the restaurant was named a finalist in the James Beard Awards for Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages program. This honor follows no fewer than seven Beard nominations for Best Chef Southwest, along with scores of mentions in national publications and leading travel web sites. The fact that all this has happened in a relatively short time makes it even more remarkable.

Restaurant expansions are fraught with peril. Along with the financial burden, growth-minded restaurateurs face the challenge of maintaining the standards of the original. Anything less and the brand becomes diluted. kAm%2<6 r@4:?2 pKú=] %96 @C:8:?2= C6DE2FC2?E @? |@F?E2:? #@25 2?5 `aE9 $EC66E D@FE9 @7 x?E6CDE2E6 c_ @A6?65 :? a_`_ 2?5 BF:4<=J 62C?65 2 7@==@H:?8] uF6=65 3J 72>:=J C64:A6D 7C@> 7@F?56CD uC2?< 2?5 tG6=J? q2C6=2[ r@4:?2 3642>6 2 7:IEFC6 @? =:DED @7 E96 36DE }6H |6I:42?

Last year, news that Albuquerque’s iconic Frontier Restaurant was replacing the printed menu boards that hung above the front counter with digital screens created a stir. Adding a high-tech accoutrement to a spot loved for its old-time charm was nothing less than blasphemy, many on social media claimed — akin to putting aluminum siding on the KiMo Theatre.

Bob Ross, the preternaturally calm, immaculately permed painting instructor, was an unlikely TV star. Over his 11 years at PBS, he made painting landscapes into a meditative pursuit. His tutorials were soothing and reassuring even for those who didn’t paint. Ross’ stock quote — “we don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents” — informs the philosophy at Happy Accidents, the five-year-old cocktail bar in Nob Hill.

When Sean Sinclair took over last year as executive chef at Level 5, the restaurant atop Hotel Chaco near Old Town, he had some big shoes to fill. Sinclair’s predecessor Marc Quiñones created a buzz during his brief tenure at Level 5 with his use of New Mexican flavors filtered through his Dominican and Puerto Rican roots. His efforts made him a 2024 James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef Southwest before he left to take over the kitchen at Ex Novo Brewing Company Downtown.
