Breakfast should be had at the Rolling Pin Bakery (214 Hwy. 160 East), where the specialty is "really hot green chile," Greer says. And either The Malt Shop (River Center), for burgers, fries and shakes, or Paradise Brewpub (164 N. Pagosa Blvd.) would be his choice for lunch. "Southfork is closer to the mountain, but it's kind of a podunk town," Greer says. "So really, Pagosa Springs has all the good food."
