A sign above the counter at Fry Bread House in Phoenix read, “Owned and operated by Tohono O’odham.” No, that’s not a person. It’s a tribe of Native Americans who used to occupy the nearby Sonoran Desert. Their food involves fried breads topped with hearty stews. The overall effect at Fry Bread House is devastating, but worth the impact.
Two of us split the stew and taco, but it was still a heavy meal that was practically nap-inducing. In these cases, as long as the food tastes good, it’s worth it. Also, how often do you get to try Native American stews?
UPDATE: Fry Bread House relocated to 1003 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85014
