A TALE OF THREE REGIONS

Valley of the Sun

Northern Arizona

Southern Arizona

The largest metropolitan area in the Southwestern United States, Greater Phoenix encompasses more than 20 cities and towns, including Scottsdale, Phoenix (which is the capital of the state), Cave Creek, Carefree, Paradise Valley, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and Glendale. Its nickname is the Valley of the Sun, bestowed in recognition of the average of 300 days of sunshine the Valley—so called because the area lies in the Salt River Valley—enjoys each year. Metro Phoenix is known for its high-end spas, golf courses, restaurants, and of course, cacti and scenic views.

Northern Arizona includes cities such as Sedona, Flagstaff, Payson, Pinetop, and Williams. The area features the famous red rocks of Sedona, several mountain ranges—including the San Francisco Peaks—and the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in North America. Of course, it’s also the location of the famous Grand Canyon, as well as Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, the Painted Desert, Slide Rock State Park, Antelope Canyon, and Meteor Crater. Due to its elevation, Northern Arizona experiences more seasonal weather than the Valley of the Sun, often including heavy snow.

Skiing is a popular pastime.

There’s a lot of history to explore in Southern Arizona, from ancient ruins to abandoned mines to locales made famous during the Wild West days. Tucson is the region’s largest city, and is today filled with golf courses, spas, and a thriving food scene. Tombstone and Bisbee are known for their Old West vibes, while Sonoita, Elgin, and Willcox are popular locations for wineries and distilleries. The area is also home to Tubac, Yuma, and Sierra Vista. Southern Arizona, which borders Mexico, tends to have a warm, dry climate.

Tucson

The largest city in Southern Arizona, and the second largest in the state, was originally founded as a military fort in 1775. Today, the thriving city is a mix of Old World charm, historic locales, and modern innovations.

There are more than 35 golf courses within the city; two of the top destination spas in the world; plenty of outdoor recreation; and, in 2015, Tucson was the first American city to be designated a “City of Gastronomy” by UNESCO. It is also home to the Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase, which draws an international crowd, as well as the University of Arizona. www.visittucson.org

Tombstone’s silver ore and “Wild West” persona first attracted visitors in the 1880s; today the dramatized re-creations of heyday thrills and skirmishes keep ’em coming.

Watch actors portraying Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday as they dust up in front of historic facades, or take the state’s only silver mine tour, 100 feet underground. This is the location of the O.K. Corral, The Bird Cage Theatre, and Boothill Graveyard. www.discovertombstone.com SA 16

ORDER IN THE COURT

American Eat Co. celebrates a southside Tucson neighborhood through food

ALL PHOTOS COURTESY AMERICAN EAT CO.

BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ

Who says you can’t go home again?

Business partners Guillermo Gallegos and Jesus Bonillas did just that when they opened American Eat Co. along 4th Avenue in Tucson’s southside neighborhood.

“We both grew up on the southside, a proud community with a rich Mexican American heritage known for its authentic, locally owned eateries, including Mi Nidito, Crossroads, El Torero, and Micha’s, each of which has stood the test of time for decades,” says Gallegos.

When a 12,000-square-foot butcher shop called American Meat Co. shuttered, the duo purchased the space with eyes to beautify the area while showcasing homegrown flavors from independent eateries and food vendors.

“We opened in 2018 as American Eat Co., in a nod to the space’s history,” says Gallegos.

“American Eat Co. is a twist on the traditional food court and a rapidly growing tourist attraction in Tucson.”

The space is a visual spectacle, melding industrial elements like exposed trusses, steel, and wood with unabashed pops of turquoise and orange, as well as massive murals from local artists that depict Mexican icons such as mariachis, Carlos Santana, Frida Kahlo, and Selena.

At the center of American Eat Co. are dozens of picnic tables, which welcome communal-style dining and are ultra-family

friendly. There is even an all-ages arcade with Pac-Man, Street Fighter, Pop-A-Shot, and a selection of car racing games. There’s also live music weekly.

And then there is the food.

“We have seven epic eateries at American Eat Co., as well as a coffee shop, bar, and snack bar,” says Gallegos.

Many of the vendors, each of which has a kitchenette and a 12-by-12-foot storefront with their own branding and interior, have roots in Mexican cuisine.

“El Tacoson, for example, is a street-style taqueria with some of the best carne asada, aguachile-rubbed ribeye, and al pastor tacos in Arizona,” says Gallegos. “Similarly, Monster Sonoran is a specialty food cart that found a home at American Eat Co. with mouthwatering birria, nacho-style tater tots, and foot-long Sonoran-style hot dogs.”

Beyond that, according to Gallegos, American Eat Co. boasts El Bochas, which specializes in mariscos, or Mexican seafood.

“We also shine a light on our community’s refreshments at our snack bar with fruity agua frescas and raspados Mexicanos, or Mexican shaved ice. Guests can even enjoy a mangonada, a Mexican dessert made with mango sorbet and chamoy that is topped with chili powder. And, of course, our cocktail bar takes great pride in its tequilas, mezcals, and margaritas,” Gallegos says.

Rounding out the culinary options are Walter’s Pizzeria, which has pizza by the slice and pie; Fatboy Sandos, a beloved local food truck that moved into American Eat Co. in 2023 to offer Japanese-inspired sandwiches and French fries topped with Asian condiments; The Coop, which was also opened in 2023 by the team behind the ultra-popular Cowpig food truck and focuses on fried chicken; and Kitchen 86, a gourmet sandwich shop with items like burgers, chicken banh mi, patty melts, and Cubanos.

Additionally, there’s a coffee shop with a full menu of espresso drinks and a variety of pastries.

THE CROWN JEWEL OF TUCSON Fox Tucson Theatre is the city’s go-to historic venue for arts and entertainment

BY MICHELLE TALSMA EVERSON

A COLORFUL HISTORY

Built in 1930—initially as a dual vaudeville and movie house— the Fox was considered the crown jewel of Downtown Tucson’s entertainment scene for over 40 years. In addition to being a classic movie palace, the theater also hosted community events and performances. It was even known for Saturday morning screenings put on by the Tucson Chapter of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Home to more than 120 events each year, Fox Tucson Theatre is an iconic space that serves as a must-see entertainment destination for locals and visitors alike.

“The Fox Tucson Theatre is true to Tucson—from its Southwest-themed interior and decorative style, impressive acoustics, beautiful ceiling, and preservation of history blended with modern amenities, it regularly welcomes patrons from all walks of life,” says Bonnie Schock, executive director.

TODAY’S FOX TUCSON THEATRE

Known as the “crown jewel of Tucson,” the Fox welcomes as many as 100,000 patrons annually. The 1,164-seat audience capacity is big enough to attract national and international talent yet small enough to boast an intimate entertainment experience.

SA 36

“Since reopening, the Fox has become a premier live performance venue; a classic film buff’s dream; and a multipurpose, elegant rental facility for corporate, nonprofit, and private events,” Schock says.

It’s also a draw for those wanting to view the impressive theater, so on the first Tuesday of every month at noon, a free tour of the interior is offered (interested participants meet in the theater’s entryway at 17 W. Congress St.).

“The Fox is a unique and beautiful space—we have events, programs, and activities for 7-year-olds to 80-year-olds, and everyone in between,” Schock says of the space’s use. “We hope that those who visited us years ago come and make new memories, and those who are new to the Fox enjoy their first time experiencing the crown jewel of Tucson.”

One program that ensures that the Fox will be part of Tucson’s future for years is its K.I.T.T. (Kids In the Theatre) Youth Arts and Culture. This program includes school matinee

But, in 1974, the theater closed due to increased competition from new businesses.

Fast-forward to 1999, when the nonprofit Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation purchased the building—and what followed was a six-year, more than $14 million rehabilitation process, with an official reopening on New Year’s Eve 2005.

“When the Fox Tucson Theatre reopened, the impact on Downtown Tucson and the larger community was amazing,” Schock says. “It’s an important part of Tucson history, but it also was updated to reflect the amenities and space needs of today’s eventgoers.”

shows, public family shows, theater tours for students, community literacy events, and more. The Fox also partners with local youth performing arts groups and offers complimentary tickets to youth.

To reach adults and seniors in the community, Schock says the theater has an ongoing program called Curious Conversations. Each Curious Conversation event is available in-person and on Zoom, and features a chat with local content experts illuminating the work of the artists appearing at the theater.

“These adult learning opportunities are all about inviting the community out to not only see the shows but to have conversations about the artists who bring their talent to the Fox,” Schock explains.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation is in the early stages of an expansion project to once again invest in the future of the theater. The project includes the purchase of two adjacent properties that will be

transformed into additional space.

“We’ve set forth a bold vision,” says Fox board member Brent Davis about the expansion project. “One that we believe will secure the legacy of the crown jewel of Tucson as not only an iconic, historic building but also as an enduring flagship arts organization at the heart of Downtown Tucson.”

“The opportunity to purchase these adjacent properties presented a once-in-a-lifetime, seize-the-day moment to invest in the longterm future and ultimate sustainability of the Fox,” adds Fox Board Expansion Committee Chair Nancy March.

“In order to preserve history, we’ve continued to invest our efforts into this timeless theater,” Schock says. “We want to make sure that the Fox is here to stay for future generations and is their go-to place to create amazing memories. The Fox Tucson Theatre truly is a gem in the desert and a must-see tourist destination not only in Tucson but also in the Southwest region.”

Mission to Mars?

While the world’s billionaires are still seeking ways to colonize Earth’s neighbor, in 2023, Biosphere 2 completed multiple multiday experiments testing what life might actually look like on the Red Planet, thanks to SAM. “SAM is short for Space Analog for the Moon and Mars, and it is a hermetically sealed and pressurized habitat and research station within Biosphere 2,” explains Biosphere

“While it started as an attempt to recreate a livable atmosphere that mimics Earth, today, under the leadership of the University of Arizona, it is a bridge between the controlled environment of a scientific laboratory and the diverse but very uncontrolled environment researchers have out in the field,” says Adams.

There are seven ecosystems within Biosphere 2—all being actively used in a host of experiments 24 hours a day—accessible to the public via three tour options.

Deputy Director John Adams. “In 2023, a team of researchers successfully lived in SAM, one of only two such facilities in the world, acting as test pilots for what it might be like to co-exist, grow basic crops, prepare food, balance the atmosphere, and more.”

The experiment’s success in gleaning critical data for more long-term trials has inspired numerous researchers from around the world to propose further missions with SAM at Biosphere 2. It has also re-whetted the public’s interest in the 40-acre campus, including its 3-acre research facility, which opened in 1991.

The standard walking tour, which averages 75 minutes, is self-guided, with the help of the Biosphere 2 app’s virtual docent feature.

Approximately a mile in distance, it features 24 stops along the way, with video narrations and optional additional materials for those who wish to dive deeper into one or more areas of interest. The tour starts in the original upper and lower habitats and the labs used by the first researchers in the 1990s, before traversing through the multiple desert ecosystems and then to the savannah. The savannah has both lowlands and highlands, culminating in

rainforest with more than 100 species of plants, some 90 feet tall.

“Those looking for a deeper dive into the mechanics of Biosphere 2 may enhance their visit by adding on a Lung Tour to the general admission pass, which offers a behindthe-scenes look at the campus’s inner workings, notably the glass enclosure that regulates our air pressure, acting—as we call it—as one of our two lungs.”

In 2023, Biosphere 2 also launched a third tour, which is limited in size and delves into the facility’s storied history via a personal guide.

James Beard Award winner Don Guerra is on a mission to feed the community delicious, healthy food INTERVIEWED BY MICHELLE GLICKSMAN

low-glycemic because of the sourdough fermentation, and it supports a total community.

back in my bagels. I’m calling it a Sonoran-style.

You won a James Beard Award!

Why baking?

I love the entire process of breadmaking. Bread is a living food, and it really is about taking care of the product. Starting with the ingredients then leavening, you’re able to bring these things to life—which to me is absolute magic. And then the baking process is also about being physical—there’s a lot of movement. I love baking because there’s a lot of lifting and moving. It’s art and science. I feel like it just matches who I am as a person.

You also have another product ...

I’m now making a product called Barrio Bagel that’s in line with my bread because it’s a sourdough leavened bagel made from Arizona Sonoran white wheat, with no sugars or oils. I like to say I’m putting the health

I was very surprised and elated by the honor of being a two-time runner-up and then a winner. It’s something I was super proud of, and I’m proud of the fact that I’m representing my city and my state.

I do think it was because of the work I’m doing with local grains.

I’ve been developing a local grain economy in Tucson, working with a variety of producers, for a revival of the local grains of the Southwest.

Sure, it’s about making good bread, but these days, a James Beard Award is about character, as well, not just culinary excellence.

The accomplishment for which you’re most proud?

I would say outside of the James Beard Award is the creation of a community-supportive bakery in my community. It’s really about

the model I’ve chosen, which is an outcome of my background as an anthropologist and teacher, and entrepreneurship, as well as a love for my city and people and feeding them delicious, healthy food. So, this bakery. Some people know the bakery for bread, but it’s also an innovator of grain for my region.

Any favorite places in Tucson?

Mission Garden. It’s an agricultural museum, showcasing more than 4,000 years of cultivation.

Everyone should see and look at the agricultural history of this region.

Any future plans?

To continue to do what I do, which is to support and grow the local grain economy and to teach others how to make the product I make to support themselves and their families. To continue to create innovative food products and locations that involve heritage grains.

COURTESY BARRIO BREAD

Don Guerra, the 2022 James Beard Award winner for Outstanding Baker—and two-time semifinalist—has been has been making his mark on Tucson and beyond.

Although he had grown up baking, he decided to study anthropology while in college before opening his first bakery, which specialized in bread.

He later went back to school to study education, working in the Tucson public schools for many years before going back to his first love—baking bread.

Today, his backgrounds meld— he’s the founder and owner of both Barrio Bread and Barrio Grains, and when he’s not working on those, he’s flying around the country to teach about them.

WELCOME TO

TUBAC, ARIZONA Just 40 minutes south of Tucson is the historic village of Tubac. Established in 1752 as the first Spanish military fort in Arizona, the town long ago exchanged its martial backdrop in favor of a more artistic character. More than 100 shops and world-class galleries—exhibiting everything from woodcarvings to oil paintings—fill the quaint streets, and the Tubac Center for the Arts features regional and national art as well as seasonal exhibits. Locally owned restaurants and bars dot the area, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and specialty drinks. Frequent festivals are held throughout the year to celebrate the area’s artistic present and ancient past. tubacaz.com

EXPLORE TUMACÁCORI Tumacácori is nestled between two mountain ranges in a valley cut by the Santa Cruz River: Tumacácori Mountains (west) and Santa Rita Mountains (east), with views of the San Cayetano Mountains to the southeast. Tumacácori is home to one of the oldest mission sites: “Father Kino established Tumacácori as a mission in January 1691 … making it the oldest mission site in what is now Arizona” (NPS). Cottonwood and mesquite trees, a living river and bird riparian area makes Tumacácori a great place to see with unique stops at Widom’s Cafe (est. 1944), and Tumacacori Mesquite Sawmill (est. 1982).
