At Tuxon Chix, our commitment to quality starts with where we source our ingredients. Our philosophy is simple: local first. By sourcing locally, we not only deliver fresher, tastier food, but we also support our community and reduce our environmental impact. This blog post will explore how each locally sourced ingredient contributes to the unique flavors of Tuxon Chix and why supporting local producers is a cornerstone of our business.
Turano Baking Co. – Our Local Bread Partner
We’re proud to serve buns from Turano Baking Co., a local Arizona bakery known for its artisan breads. Turano’s commitment to quality ensures that every bun is soft yet sturdy enough to hold our hearty, juicy chicken creations. This partnership allows us to provide the freshest bread, baked and delivered with care from their local ovens to your table.
Fresh, Local Produce
Most of the produce used in our dishes comes from local farms around Tucson. This means the crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy onions that enhance the flavors of your favorite sandwiches and salads are as fresh as possible. Local sourcing shortens the time between harvest and service, keeping nutrients intact and flavors bold.
Signature Sauces and Dressings
Even our signature sauces and dressings are made with locally sourced ingredients. The base sauce that anchors our popular house Tuxon sauce, the tangy coleslaw dressing, and our zesty lemon pepper seasoning are all crafted with components sourced from within Arizona. This not only supports local businesses but also ensures that we have control over the quality and freshness of these key elements of our dishes.
We use locally produced blue cheese dressing and Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo sauce to bring a touch of local flavor to our dishes. Our mayonnaise and even the salt seasoning of our fries come from nearby suppliers, ensuring that even the smallest ingredients contribute to the local economy.
Nashville Hot and More
Our hot Nashville chicken, a crowd favorite, features a locally made sauce that provides just the right level of heat and flavor, demonstrating how local partnerships can elevate even the most traditional dishes.
The Benefits of Local Sourcing
Beyond the clear benefits to flavor and freshness, sourcing locally helps Tuxon Chix reduce its carbon footprint, support local farmers and producers, and contribute to the economic health of our community. Every meal purchased at Tuxon Chix supports a network of local suppliers and businesses, reinforcing our commitment to the Arizona economy.
At Tuxon Chix, local sourcing is more than a policy—it’s a reflection of our dedication to quality, community, and sustainability. By choosing local, we provide our customers with not just a meal, but a story of community support and environmental stewardship.
