Rawhide Western Town Returns To Its Frontier Roots
Merging cowboy customs and the Gila River Indian Community, Rawhide Western Town & Steakhouse at Wildhorse Pass rolled out a revamped menu and new activities to offer the best of both cultures. Utilizing local ingredients from the Gila River Indian Community and Rawhide’s own Akimel Basho Farm, consulting Chef Michael Cairns and Executive Chef Jon Anderson serve up traditional Western eats while blending modern tastes. The menu includes seasonal dishes such as sweet corn polenta cakes as well as staples like lamb chops, fried chicken, and a variety of steaks, which can be cut to your liking by the “Town Butcher.” Providing more than just hearty Western fare, Rawhide offers a slew of entertainment options like the Deadman’s Drop rock climbing, the Spirit of the West comedy theater, gold panning and Friday night bull riding. And every Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., locavores can choose produce from the garden while mingling with community farmers, artisans and vendors at the Wildhorse Pass Farmers Market. The market also offers children’s activities, cooking classes, breakfast and brunch, and story telling.
