His restaurant, Chilte, the electric “new-wave” Mexican-inspired hotspot tucked inside Phoenix’s retro Egyptian Motor Hotel, presents a boundary-blurring menu with influences of Latin roots, childhood soul food, globe-trotting adventures.

And, as always, there arelots of wonderful things happening at Ah Haa over the holidays.
