Sticky buns versus cinnamon rolls is one of the most age-old bakery debates, and this Arizona restaurant is on a mission to settle the score. El Chorro, an upscale restaurant in Scottsdale, is the last place you’d expect to find delicious homemade pastries, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. Warm, fluffy, and covered in a brown sugar glaze, these sinful sweets are the definition of irresistible. See the deliciousness for yourself:
Nestled in Paradise Valley, this dining destination dates back to 1937 and couldn’t be more appropriately located. Traditional Southwestern architecture creates an authentic, hacienda-style atmosphere, and red rocks towering in every direction only add to the experience.

Grab a drink at the patio bar and nibble on appetizers like fried lobster bites while the soft notes of live music drift through the air. Strike up a conversation with the friendly locals and try not to fill up on booze and small bites - the best is yet to come.

Rather than more common garlic bread, each table gets an order of these babies prior to the main course. Served fresh out of the oven, you’ll be hooked after the first bite. Go ahead and tell the waiter to set aside a few more baskets for you to take home - they often sell out faster than the chefs can keep up with!
