Some legends expand beyond contributions to business. In the case of Charles Winfield \u201cBuddy\u201d Ritter, a fifth-generation resident of historic Mesilla and owner of the Double Eagle restaurant, the legend extend to the very building he occupies. Some say that his establishment is haunted. More on that later, but there\u2019s another unique aspect to the Double Eagle that caught our attention.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-669 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bryanberg.net\/files\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddy-ritter-300x277.jpg\" alt=\"Buddy Ritter\" width=\"300\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bryanberg.net\/files\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddy-ritter-200x185.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bryanberg.net\/files\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddy-ritter-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bryanberg.net\/files\/wp-content\/uploads\/buddy-ritter.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Buddy Ritter\u2019s great-great grandfather arrived in Mesilla in the 1870\u2019s. A surgeon and graduate of New York University\u2019s School of Medicine, he traveled west after the Civil War to seek his fortune. In fact, Dr. Edwin Burt \u2013 Buddy Ritter\u2019s grandmother\u2019s grandfather \u2013 practiced medicine in the very office where Buddy now conducts his business at the Double Eagle. One of Dr. Burt\u2019s daughters headed back east from a train in El Paso to attend college at a time when few women attended college, and met a young law student whom she married. Of course the Burt family attended this wedding, and they soon convinced this young man, Richmond P. Barnes, to come out west to practice law. Maybe New York City sounded quiet to him by the time he served as a prosecuting attorney against Oliver Milton Lee in the notorious murders of Colonel Fountain and his son. Buddy Ritter, an avid historian with his own extensive library has his own views of the case. \u201cI personally don\u2019t believe Lee was guilty at all \u2026 but I think he had it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So how do headlines splashed across our history bring us to the Double Eagle? Richmond P. Barnes became a Justice of the Supreme Court, retired, and opened a law practice in Albuquerque, and John Ritter came along from back east to marry one of his four daughters after dating all four of them. \u201cSo my father is their first child,\u201d Buddy Ritter beams from his historic office. \u201cI am the first child of the first child of the first child\u2026 seven times!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lot of history to keep up with, but Buddy Ritter seems cut from the same tough cloth as his ancestors. He attended high school at Mesilla Park, attended the New Mexico Military Institute, and received his degree in banking from New Mexico State University. His future seemed to be in banking, but his family owned the Lodge Hotel in Cloudcroft where there were management problems. Straight banking and military intelligence, Buddy went to Cloudcroft to run the family business. It was supposed to be a temporary position. But Buddy\u2019s account of the situation is like so many stories we hear from entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>He tells it simply: \u201cI fell in love with the business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buddy Ritter has worked in the hotel and restaurant business now for over fifty years. He\u2019s owned 4 hotels, 2 breweries, and fourteen restaurants. He built the Las Cruces Holiday Inn, now the Ramada, and received the International Design Award. His many positions, accolades, and successes could fill pages, but it\u2019s not success that has made him successful. It\u2019s the entrepreneurial spirit \u2013 that passion and sense of history that brought his ancestors west \u2013 that makes the Double Eagle what it is today.<\/p>\n<p>During our extensive tour of his restaurant, Buddy Ritter showed me the refreshing and airy atrium where lunch is enjoyed by so many patrons. He showed me the side cozier side rooms where bank and political deals have been made. The artwork comfort and the personally-collected artwork are amazing, and Mr. Ritter has a story behind every detail that happens to capture your attention. Of course, it\u2019s the legendary and ghostly haunting of Carlotta Salon that draws so much attention.<\/p>\n<p>Like many rooms at the Double Eagle restaurant, one enters with a feeling of being overwhelmed by its history and beauty. The tables, chairs, artwork, and structure of the building itself take you in with a sense of history and calm, a realization that every nook and cranny of this classic building are unique yet fit perfectly into a grander whole. There is a calm and a history to the place without seeming the least stale. Buddy Ritter draws my attention to two chairs, tucked in opposing corners outside the main dining table. \u201cNotice how they are worn,\u201d he says, referring to the fabric. You can see that people have recently sat in them, many times, although the chairs are not used by patrons. The Maes family \u2013 the original owners of the sprawling home now called the Double Eagle \u2013 are said to frequent this room, and there is a photograph on the wall that seems to agree. It captures their ghostly image. \u201cYou can see where their shoulders rest,\u201d Mr. Ritter shows me, his finger tracing the clear outline in wear of the fabric on each of the chairs. He has measured the height of the spirits who sit there. It corresponds to the heights of Se\u00f1or and Se\u00f1ora Mais. It\u2019s not the numbers or even the honest passion in Buddy\u2019s eyes that convince me; it\u2019s the splendid feeling of this room. If I were a ghost, it\u2019s where I would choose to wait, listen to conversation, and watch history as it is made.<\/p>\n<p>Shaking off something less like a chill \u2013 who could feel chilly in this warmth and luxury? \u2013 I come now to what is truly unique and remarkable about this local treasure. It\u2019s not the atrium, the luxurious bar, or the dance hall. It\u2019s not even the gold ceiling, so meticulously wrought above the expansive Maximilian Room.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the steaks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI march to a different drum,\u201d Buddy says. \u201cI never tried to copy my competitors. I like to look at things that are not necessarily local, and I try to bring it to Las Cruces and Mesilla. As an example, I figured out that we did not have a really \u2013 really \u2013 great steak house in this part of the state.\u201d What made our steaks different than the best of the best? Mr. Ritter turned local, to a graduate of New Mexico State University who worked for Omaha Beef. The answer came down to aging. Buddy confesses, \u201cI had no earthly idea how to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, Mr. Ritter is an old hand at making the most tender, delicious steaks in the region, and the process begins long before cooking or spices. Muscle in beef gives the meat its toughness. Two things break this toughness down: bacteria and enzymes. No one wants bacteria in their food, and stops acting at 37-degrees Fahrenheit. Natural enzymes, on the other hand, keep working down to 34-degrees. \u201cThat\u2019s how we turn dust to dust,\u201d Mr. Ritter says. So why are Buddy\u2019s steaks the most tender in the region? The Double Eagle has invested in our only dedicated meat locker set between 34- and 37-degrees Fahrenheit. That meat locker, to me, is the most interesting room in the building. You\u2019ll find no ghosts there \u2026 only the most tender cuts of beef in the state and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Success does not necessarily breed success. A family history does not guarantee a place of prominence in our city. A genuine passion \u2013 along with honesty and an attention to detail \u2013 is what best determines an entrepreneur\u2019s role in Mesilla Valley. Buddy Ritter has served our country, and he has served us locally. He acted as the president of the New Mexico Hotel\/Motel Association for two terms, and he was on the National Board of Directors of the American Hotel Association for four years. In 1984, New Mexico State University honored him with the President\u2019s Award for Service, and the New Mexico Tourism Hall of Fame inducted him in 2003. He\u2019s made many other accomplishments, but the real pleasure for Buddy comes from offering something delicious and unique to please his many patrons. With this kind of approach, success may not come easily to the entrepreneur, but it does come naturally.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Double Eagle restaurant, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doubleeagleonline.com\/\">double-eagle-mesilla.com<\/a>.
