Sonoran Arcana: The Latest In The Journey To Find Arizona's Cuisine — Native Peppers

What is Arizona cuisine?

That’s the question Phoenix New Times food critic Chris Malloy is attempting to answer in his year-long series “ Sonoran Arcana,” and he brings The Show along with him on the journey each month.

And now, it’s time to get spicy.

This month’s edition of Sonoran Arcana is all about a certain, native Arizonan pepper.

The Show joined Malloy as he visits chef Rene Andrade's Ghost Ranch in Tempe.
