My brother and I went to Albuquerque in 2011 when I was looking at it as a potential city for relocation after grad school. We squeezed in a few visits to Breaking Bad filming locations. Walter White's house, the car wash and Saul Goodman's strip mall office are all about a mile or less from each other in the northeast part of town.
We went to the White house on a Thursday morning. The woman who owns the house came out and spoke to us for a few minutes. She was incredibly nice and didn't have to do that at all but we were trying to be super respectful and she let us take a few photos of the house exterior. She told us Bryan Cranston did the pizza toss onto the garage roof in a single take. My brother and I didn't ask, nor have any desire (out of respect of privacy) to see the inside or backyard. Again, I can't stress how gracious she was to two dipshits at around 1015 on a Thursday morning in October 2011.
I say this because apparently an obnoxious group of fans bug the owners at all hours of the day to the point that the owners had to put up fencing around the front of the house. Allegedly people were showing up all hours of the day wanting to take house tours and some even tried throwing pizzas on the garage roof. Vince Gilligan, the shows creator, has pleaded with fans to be respectful and leave the homeowners alone.
I'm grateful my brother and I got to meet her and that she took the time to speak with us before fans took it too far. I hate that the homeowners' experience has been ruined by assholes.
Los Pollos Hermanos is actually a restaurant called Twisters in the southwest part of Albuquerque. A Los Pollos Hermanos logo is painted on a wall inside the restaurant and they have a guest book you can sign.
Then again, this was over a decade ago. I'm sure things have changed. Albuquerque is like my perfect city: Not too big, four seasons, gorgeous southwestern scenery. Economy, unless you work for Intel, Sandia or the air force base, is practically nonexistent. My girlfriend lived there for about a year in fourth grade (her dad worked at Intel) and hated it, so trying to go back to visit (it's four hours from Flagstaff) hasn't been an option.
I'd love to get a Lotaburger with green chiles...
