Navajo Food for Dinner


Goulding's Lodge is sort of its own little community, being one of the only two hotels in the Valley. In addition to traditional amenities like a pool and fitness room, it also has its own restaurant, gas station, car wash, convenience store and movie theater (to screen John Wayne movies, of course!).

You would expect the restaurant to be a price-gouging disaster, but we were pleasantly surprised by both the quality and prices there. On our second night, I sampled a Southwestern-style pork & green chile stew, accompanied by Navajo flat bread. It's a massive fried thing -- kind of like youtiao, the fried bread sticks Chinese people eat at breakfast, if you're familiar with that -- and served with a bottle of honey.
