Red Top was in the Springs for a while too.


For the OP's question King Chef diner spicy green, King Sooper's in the Springs carries it. Not sure about Denver.

Are you asking about the vegetable or the product?

Entree or sauce?

My Mom made it as an entree. Big chunks of seared pork in a spicy sauce. Warm tortillas with butter on them, sloping up the juice.

I do the same only use smoked pork.

As a side, store bought 505 is pretty good.

Only way to do a chili verde is with left over pulled pork. I'll either do a "traditional" colorado style green chili, or a west coast style, with tomatillos, garlic, onions, etc


Down here they call their red & greens a sauce, real lackluster, very "gringo", bland. A few places do it like one finds in CO.

Yes, I did forget the green chili burger andgreen chili fries.

I'm a huge fan of 505 Southwestern roasted green chiles. I use it in everything. To me, when considering the hassle and effort, they're just as good as roasting your own but with the ease of opening a jar. I always have several jars on hand.

Looks like a good menu lineup. Would enjoy visiting but rarely get to that part of the state now.

Some years ago my family had a motel, restaurant and bar in Patagonia. It was the busiest eatery and the second largest employer in the county next to the school district. We catered to the stars and I worked in every aspect of the business. Fun experience.

Btw, i found this with current roadside stand locations and prices for green chiles.

Looks like I am going to spend the day cooking up a pot.

There is a roadside stand in Aurora near Parker & Dayton. I haven't been there this year, but they were good and reasonably priced in the past. Pro-Tip (as the kids say): Go the the grocery store first and buy fresh garlic bulbs, have them throw the garlic in during the roast ;)

@Bailey 505 also offers frozen "prepared" green chili in the freezer section at some stores (hot/mild/Vegetarian). It is pretty good, not as good as homemade obviously. 505 also offer frozen packages of "just the chilies" is you wanna make your own. Hardest part of moving away from Colorado was finding green chili. Kazoo knows the pain...
