TUCSON ORIGINALS
“Think globally, eat locally.” So says the slogan of Tucson Originals, created in 1998 in an effort to counter the rapid expansion of chain restaurants and to encourage local restaurateurs to give back to the community by donating their services to area nonprofits. The organization provides support for independent, locally owned eateries that specialize in menu items as original as Tucson itself. From “white tablecloth” to casual places to grab a sandwich, Tucson Originals encompasses the whole Tucson dining scene. For more information, visit www.tucsonoriginals.com.
