Colorado's pork-and-chile stew doubles as a sauce in Fort Collins, ladled over burritos and burgers; ask for anything smothered and this is what arrives.

Green chile follows the Front Range's Mexican-American cooking north from New Mexico and southern Colorado, thickened with pork and roasted green chiles rather than served thin. In Fort Collins it functions less as a dish than as infrastructure: Big City Burrito smothers its potato burritos in it, Illegal Pete's ladles it across the bar menu, and Lucky Joe's keeps a green chili pot going for the Old Town Square crowd. Every autumn, roadside roasters tumble fresh chile in propane drums and the whole city smells faintly of char.
