Phoenix, AZ
Fry Bread at The Fry Bread House
Be sure to sample traditional fry bread that magically puffs like a pillow when it’s cooked. We recommend the signature tacos at the Fry Bread house, designated a James Beard “American Classic”. Typically served by Native Americans at cultural events and festivals, the tradition goes back 150 years.

Hot Chicken at Hattie B’s Hot Chicken
This jumping chicken joint is famous for a reason—the hot tenders are juicier than anything not on the bone has a right to be! Hattie B’s has four spice levels, along with plain old fried chicken, and be sure to save room for banana pudding or the mouthwatering peach cobbler.
