| The Lodge on the Desert has been a charming part of Tucson’s hospitality scene since 1936. During that time, the hotel’s restaurant has had its ups and downs, but these days chef and Tucson native Ryan Clark is at the helm, and he’s using local ingredients to create notable dishes, no matter the time of day. Breakfast means eggs Benedict poblano, a standard that takes on a Southwestern twist with local tomatoes, pulled pork and a poblano hollandaise. Lunch ingredients include cotija cheese, pecans from nearby Green Valley, Arizona honey and peppadews fresh from the chef’s garden. Dinner on the patio is doable almost year-round. Order the mussels nopales, where bivalves, prickly pear cactus, Lodge chorizo, lentils and garlic come together in a lovely tomato-cilantro broth. Even the desserts have south-of-the-border touches, such as the ancho chile-chocolate torte. Check out the pool and bar menus, too. |
