Full-bodied flavors and local ingredients…

Full-bodied flavors and local ingredients shatter stereotypes of goopy Mexican food at this hip hotel restaurant.

Does the mere mention of Mexican food stir up images of gloppy, cheese-smothered enchiladas and greasy tacos?

“Mexican food gets a bad rap,” says Doug Robson, chef and owner of the hip Gallo Blanco Café and Bar at The Clarendon Hotel in midtown Phoenix. Robson, the former founding chef at La Grande Orange, is on a mission to dispel the myth that all Mexican food is stereotypical, hotter-than-hell goo. story
