Defining 'New Arizonan' Cuisine, One Foraged Acorn At A Time

Supported by Beach Fleischman

What is Arizona food?

Is it a chimichanga? Or a Sonoran hot dog? Is it the classic Native American dish of squash, beans and corn — the three sisters?

The Show got an inside look at this new, year-long series.
