ZuZu at Hotel Valley Ho

A Recipe for Remarkable. Start with the Scottsdale restaurant scene. Blend in a generous portion of ZuZu. Add the best seasonal American food. Garnish with handcrafted cocktails. Shake well. The neighborhood restaurant of the Southwest had a constant, important presence in American life in the 1950's. The food was simple and wholesome, and it was a place where you came to expect a warm welcome, a hot meal, and a well-crafted cocktail. The cuisine we serve is dedicated to "ZuZu," a beloved mother and grandmother as well as a fantastic cook. She believed in the concept that food is better when it's shared with the people you love. This little restaurant personifies what we love about Arizona: its rich sense of history, warm hospitality, and all its gentle reminders that we should never take ourselves too seriously.

*With Caitie Barrett | Archaeologist*  
  
Even thousands of years after its demise, the Roman Empire captivates us, and the ancient city of Pompeii is the place to understand it all. Volcanic ash created an unparalleled glimpse into the lives of ancient people who lived, worked, and played in this coastal city. We go on assignment with archaeologist Caitie Barrett to the latest dig sites to uncover new stories that still lie buried in this special place.  
  
Caitie Barrett is an archaeologist who studies everyday life and cross-cultural interactions in the ancient Mediterranean. She teaches at Cornell University as Associate Professor of Classics. She also co-directs an archaeological excavation at Pompeii: the Casa della Regina Carolina (CRC) Project, which explores the ways that Roman houses shaped their inhabitants’ lived experiences. Her areas of specialization include Mediterranean and Egyptian archaeology, household archaeology, the archaeology of religion and ritual, and interactions between Egypt and the Greco-Roman world in antiquity. In addition to her current fieldwork at Pompeii, she has also excavated and surveyed a range of Bronze Age through early modern sites in Egypt, Greece, and the United States.
