Counting the ballots…
Green chile is the through-line on Colorado's ballot. It smothers the Green Chile Smothered Burrito, the Mexican Hamburger, and the Pueblo Slopper, the open-faced plate Pueblo built an identity around. The high country contributes Elk Burger, Trout Almondine, and Western Slope Lamb Chops. Denver adds the Denver Omelet and Rocky Mountain Oysters. Late summer belongs to Palisade Peach Cobbler and the honey-crusted Colorado Mountain Pie, where you drizzle honey on the leftover crust. What Colorado is famous for arrives smothered, at altitude. So what is Colorado's official state dish? Ten dishes are on the ballot.
