So Many Restaurants... (Albuquerque Edition)

Every Friday, The Albuquerque Journal's arts and entertainment section publishes two restaurant reviews: one in Albuquerque and another in Santa Fe. The reviews reflect the wide variety of cuisines available in the Duke City and in the City Different. Many of these restaurants along with a couple of food-service companies (32 in Albuquerque and 29 in Santa Fe) are giving back to the community by participating in the annual Souper Bowl event that helps raise funds for the Food Depot and Roadrunner Food Bank. Both events will take place on Saturday, January 30, a week before the National Football League's Super Bowl 50. Read about hunger in Northern New Mexico and around the state.  Hunger is more than just statistics. Here are some people stories from Roadrunner Food Bank.
