Some people are born for greatness. Gary Bonestroo? He was born for queso.
A fourth-generation dairy farmer, Gary has spent his life around real milk, real cheese, and real food. After moving to New Mexico, he fell in love with the bold flavors of the Southwest—especially the legendary green chile. On a trip to Santa Fe, he tasted a green chile queso blanco so good it stopped him in his tracks. When the restaurant refused to give up their secret recipe, Gary took it as a challenge.
OUR STORY
FAMILY RECIPE ROOTS
Back home, he got to work. Trial after trial, tweak after tweak—until finally, he cracked the code. His own version of green chile queso blanco was even better. Soon, “Gary’s famous queso” was the only thing anyone wanted at parties, tailgates, and backyard BBQs. That’s when he knew—this wasn’t just a snack. It was a game-changer.
Teaming up with his daughter, Tara, Gary took his family’s signature queso from kitchen favorite to grocery store must-have. Bad to the Bone Queso was born—made with real dairy, whole ingredients, and a serious kick of New Mexico’s finest green chile. No fake fillers. No shortcuts. Just queso the way it should be.
Because the best foods aren’t complicated. They’re real. They bring people together. They make every moment—whether it’s game day, grill day, or just Tuesday—better.
Now, it’s your turn to grab a bag of chips, crack open a jar, and taste why this queso is Bad to the Bone.
