There are two things that a native New Mexican may ask their parents to ship to them in a care package: Green Chilli and Dion's Ranch. It's a fact. Sadly it most likely will stay that way for at least another decade.. I personally won't leave the state because the withdrawal from both sounds horrible. (It's true, you can get Dion's in CO and TX but... eh)
Now Green Chilli has native rights to this state. This is where it's grown. Chilli is to NM as oranges are to Florida. But Dion's Ranch? For you who don't know... it the best dip/dressing (and yes, sauce) that you could ever put on anything that needs a perk up. I dip my pizza, subs, taquitos, chicken... anything that you dip, I dip it in D's Ranch. And as far as I know it was invented here in NM solidifying Dion's foundation to the state.
But this blog is not about Dion's Ranch. It's about people like me. People who are addicted to Dion's food but want more. After all, addicts don't just want the same punch, they want more. And Dion's has more..
Right now if you order Dion's you will be presented with three options for dinner: Pizza(their trademark food), Subs and Salads. Your normal Pizza place usually gives you two options: Pizza and wings (wings are usually a side). From those three dishes one can normally come up with something appeasing to the appetite making it the perfect place to go when the appetite is in an indecisive mood or when you are in a big group of people and want to make sure everyone can get something that they like. Making it the perfect place to go week after week after week... by your choice or not...
So what do you do once you have had everything on the menu 10 times? You stop ordering off the menu. And when you do want some boneless chicken wings and the reg girl says they don't have wings you say "Well then give me a half bowl of cooked chicken with BBQ sauce and a side of Bleu Cheese dressing!" but say it nice.
