Thanks to Chef/Owner Doug Robson and his formidable talents giving us the opportunity to enjoy his creations in Downtown Phoenix. This somewhat non-descript, yet at once charming setting for casual, tasty and unique Robson delicacies is comforting and relaxing as well as not with an 'in your face' atmospheric interference that distracts from your eats 'cause once delighting in Blanco's offerings, you by all means do not want outside meddling - you'll want to focus on the art, the culinary art. As you watch servers pass you by, it kind of creates a taste bud consternation as to what you are going to finally order when the moment arrives. Doug, why do you make it so tuff? Our last visit to the White Rooster recently was driven by our desire to try it for breakfast or brunch. We were not unhappy - actually we were ecstatic with the results! Our brunch would obviously start with a couple of La Flaca Margaritas, scrumptious and a perfect simple Mimosa. How can you not go without guacamole with breakfast, no such thing... very well-prepared house guac - excellent! My wife, being a life-long biscuits and gravy fan, opted for the Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy. The schreiner's chorizo gravy was perfectly blended with oozing deliciousness, and the home-made biscuits along with perfectly cooked eggs were simply incredible. I went for some traditional fare, with a superb plateful of Huevos Rancheros with quesadillas, corn tortillas, an asadero cheese (which was fab), perfectly cooked eggs and I chose the ranchero salsa, zowie! Now honestly, no matter what you want to call his style of cooking. Whether Southwestern, Mexican, Oaxacan or whatever, this stuff is good, no great! How can anyone take something so relatively simple, yet make it into a culinary and palate enthralling work of art? I don't know, but Gallo Blanco does it. Kudos to Robson, the cooks, servers and everyone on staff who make this happen for us. See you soon!
