The Cafe

Fresh Attitude -- Fresh Food -- Experience Chefitude

Cafe

Chef Adam Puckle created "A.P.E Dining LLC" (Adam Puckle Experience) in 2009. His vision was to create a unique dining experience using locally sourced ingredients and wine pairings for his community to enjoy. Chef Puckle’s menu is influenced by "something new and something the same," leveraging local sources to focus on the guest. Over 10 years since The Cafe opened its doors to the public, Chef Puckle continues to deliver a novel southwestern culinary experience with traditional roots.

Chef Puckle's natural sense for food provides guests with approachable, comfortable, and appetizing offerings designed to provide tasty and price-valued dining and selects folks for our crew to have an innate gift for supporting an enjoyable guest experience.

Local Beef

We value local products, and Vera Earl consistently collaborates with us to deliver the cuts and quality that Chef Puckle demands for a memorable guest experience.
* A 21-day age during harvest helps develop a rich flavor and tenderness that is second to none. All our products are harvested at the University of Arizona, a USDA inspected facility.
* Vera Earl Ranch proudly cares for the ecosystems, grasslands, and riparian areas that provide food and water not only to cattle, but to all wildlife. If grasslands are not thriving, we graze fewer cattle to ensure forage is available for healthy cattle and local wildlife.
