“Lindy’s off 4th” Now Open on East Tanque Verde Road

Apr 10, 20181 min read

Fourth Avenue burger staple Lindy’s on 4th just completed the necessary touches for their new east side location at 8995 E. Tanque Verde Rd, Lindy’s off 4th. Its doors officially open at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 10.

The 5,100-square-foot space previously housed El Paso-based Great American Steakburger.

Lindy’s on 4th, the original Lindy’s location, opened in December 2005, then gained fame in December 2009 for its two-kilogram OMFG Challenge. It moved from its original location at 431 N. 4th Ave. to its current location at 500 N. 4th Ave. in April 2017.

Lindy’s off 4th is located at 8995 E. Tanque Verde Rd. For more information, visit lo4th.com.

As it turns out, not nearly as many as there are restaurants. Farmers markets, such as @heirloomfm, and other programs, such as @pivotproduce and @tucsoncsa provide access to local produce. However, they are only available certain times of the week. If you need something the same day and just want a small, locally owned groceries near you for some essentials, this guide will come in handy.

@Chef_antbanks of @obonsushi defended his Iron Chef Tucson title against AJ Mortazavi of The Barnyard Crafthouse & Eatery, with tomatoes from Wholesum Family Farms revealed as this year’s secret ingredient.

Dromgoole’s winning menu included pork with minced olives over a diced tomato salad, a tomato-forward ratatouille with mozzarella, charred corn and whipped ricotta served with tableside tomato soup, and a standout dessert of fried tomato topped with goat cheese ice cream and balsamic glaze.

With the victory, Dromgoole joins Ryan Clark as the only chefs to win @theironcheftucson three years in a row. Here’s hoping OBON brings these dishes back for a special dinner. 🍅
