Phoenix’s 17 Iconic Dishes
"Valentine is a leader in innovating Sonoran cuisine, taking inspiration from both new and traditional desert cooking methods to create exciting dishes that expertly capture the identity of the Phoenix culinary scene. Perhaps no better example is their elote pasta. What’s more representative of Phoenix than a riff on a classic Italian dish combined with the flavors of Mexican street corn? The tagliarini pasta is made in-house with white Sonoran wheat and local eggs, and topped with a delicious goat cotija cheese from local Crows Dairy. The elements of the dish are familiar to any Phoenician’s palate, but the way in which Valentine brings together popular local flavors in a new way makes it worth returning to." - Mcconnell Quinn
