OVER THE WASH AND THROUGH THE TUNNEL
posted by James Reel
This being Christmas week, I had absolutely nothing to write about on the arts beat for the Tucson Weekly (but other contributors were more creative, as you’ll discover here). But I did contribute a restaurant review, after a long journey north and a deep dip into the expense account:
Dining at McClintock's Restaurant on Tucson's far northwest side is a rewarding experience, and you really do deserve a reward--by the time you arrive, you feel that you've had to earn the privilege of eating there.Well, not really; you can learn the truth, and even read about the food, in my full review here. (By the way, the title of this post alludes to the actual path one must take to McClintock's.)
Don't even think about just dropping in for dinner or drinks. For one thing, you wouldn't be able to find the place without research, and for another, there's a checkpoint, and if your name isn't on the list, you'll get picked up by the Border Patrol and sent to Sonora.
