When Claire Johnson opened her namesake café and art gallery in 1986, Catalina was a cowboy town north of Tucson, an unincorporated community on Golder Ranch land. Available year-round, both the latkes (potato pancakes) and matzo brei (a scramble made with eggs and flat, unleavened bread) are linked to specific holidays, in the latter case Passover.

12 WEEKS. 12 THEMES. ONE DELICIOUS TUCSON SUMMER. 🌵🌞❤️ From May 18 through August 9, Tucsonans ate their way through the city one themed week at a time, and now the receipts are in. From coffee and tea to wine, vegan eats, Asian cuisine, Sonoran favorites, happy hour, and everything in between, 12 Weeks of Foodie Summer was all about eating local and supporting the businesses that make Tucson so special. THANK YOU, TUCSON, for showing up and eating local with us all summer long.
