This is What Arizona Tastes Like
Arizona’s a treasure trove of established, James Beard Award-winning chefs as well as chefs that are inventive and making a name for themselves. Up-and-coming to substantiated, chefs here are often cooking with locally sourced ingredients to create spicy, sweet, savory, umami, and memorable. And that’s just the stuff you eat!
Head to local breweries for a craft draft, or take a sip of an Arizona wine – yeah, Arizona wine. Southern Arizona wine country growing conditions are comparable to those of Burgundy, France. Plus, at watering holes across the state, mixologists are raising the bar with creative, local cocktails. Ever tried a tamarindo margarita? Take a seat and taste!
