The history of the "Pepper Pot" in Hatch, NM, can refer to either the traditional New Mexican stew or the local restaurant. The name "pepper pot" as a dish refers to a traditional chili-based stew that has roots in the region's Spanish settlers and became a staple for travelers and ranchers by the 19th century. The local restaurant, "The Pepper Pot," is a separate establishment located in a converted home that serves Mexican and American food, with a history that is tied to the town's identity as a center for chile cultivation. Travel Channel’s indefatigable host Anthony Bourdain dined at the Pepper Pot during a filming of his No Reservations show. Bourdain declared Pepper Pot’s enchiladas “the best red enchiladas of his life.”
