We have been fortunate to find and love some of the best Chefs in the Valley and the creations that they offer. The common thread with all of their restaurants are that they are locally owned and sourced with local food. Peg and I have heard about South Mountain and Chef Jose Zacarias Sr. and were determined to check it out. We ate breakfast this morning (served by Jose Jr,) and just smiled. Locally produced good, simple, honest food. Basic and beautiful. The standard stars of eggs (perfectly scrambled and over easy), crisp bacon, simply prepared roasted potato chunks and peppers and light fluffy pancakes (though I only had about three bites...didn't want to overdo....surprisingly....). In the middle of a neighborhood that has an overload of chain restaurants...I strongly encourage you to support this family. Case in point, as we were entering the restaurant, the Chef was scrubbing down the threshold to the front door, then stopped and helped Peg step up the steep curb while I was getting the door,..and then he went to the kitchen. All Chefs that we know wear many hats...and this one was no exception. Dr. B
