 Culinary Adventures
Over the past two decades, the Grand Canyon State has experienced a culinary
revolution. Local, groundbreaking chefs have taken Southwestern and modern cuisine to new levels,
helping Arizona carve its place as one the country's leading culinary destinations. Experience how
the land and personalities of Arizona are reflected in the food as you take a culinary journey
from mom and pop Mexican cantinas and quintessentially Southwestern cafes to cowboy chic bistros
and elegant gastronomical masterpieces at Arizona's signature resorts. Visit local growers to
discover the bounty of the Sonoran Desert.
Head north to Flagstaff to experience the seasonal
cuisine at Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar, named as one
of this year's "Best 95 Restaurants in the World" by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Sample the
delectable cuisine of one of Arizona's many James Beard Award winners: Nobuo Fukuda of Sea Saw; Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco; Janos Wilder of Janos and J Bar; Christopher
Gross of Christopher's Fermier Brassiere;
Robert McGrath formerly of Roaring
Fork and currently with Pischke's and restaurant REM. Nothing goes better with food than wine, and
many people are surprised to discover that Arizona is home to 24 vineyards, predominantly located in the southern part
of the state where the growing conditions have been compared to Burgundy.
