Like most modern conflicts, the rivalry between soft and hard tacos will not end until one side gets eaten by a bear. Broker a culinary truce with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Southwestern fare and drinks at The Green Chile.
Hailed by Northwest Food News for whipping up “big bowls of spicy love”, The Green Chile’s owner Mark Jensen crafts lunch and dinner menus of Southwestern dishes crowned with piquant Hatch green chilies imported from New Mexico. Like epicurean trick-or-treaters, chefs stuff flour tortilla pillowcases with black and pinto beans, stir-fried onions, and bell peppers before grilling each Santa Fe burrito and bartering melted cheese for mango salsa ($8.79 at lunch, $11.29 at dinner). Grilled Hatch chiles fill Mesa quesadillas ($7.95) with signature zing, and a Texas tuna melt ($6.95 at lunch, $8.95 at dinner) moseys into mouths haberdashed in a ten-gallon cheddar and jack cheese hat. Spelunk through the stacked enchiladas’ three strata of corn tortillas to uncover seasoned beef and cheese stalagmites ($9.79 at lunch, $12.29 at dinner), or cozy up with a warm bowl of zesty red chili ($7.95 at lunch, $9.95 at dinner). Top entrees with a combination of The Green Chile's trademark red and green salsas by ordering dishes "Christmas"-style, or keep meals monochromatic with declarations such as "Arbor Day."

The Groupon Guide to: Being a Good Friend
Though many of life's accomplishments are important—working as a reading tutor, not setting fire to every mailbox you happen to pass—only one accomplishment matters in the long run: being a good friend. Follow these friendship tips to separating besties from the resties:
• Every time you're drinking something, offer your friend a sip from your glass. If they decline, show them there's nothing to worry about by sterilizing your own mouth with a crème brûlée torch.
• Pick up the check whenever possible—but don’t stop there. Use your intimate knowledge of your friend to glean possible passwords to their online bank accounts and transfer their funds into a high-yield CD just in case they want to save up to go to college again.
• What's your friend's favorite animal? Do they own one yet? Could you conceivably get them one? Keep in mind that the word "impossible" was most likely invented by a bad friend.
