The Henry is the newest member of the Fox Restaurants Group family. So new, in fact, that it didn’t register when I was planning my trip to AZ. I found out about it initially from the friendly bartender at Little Cleo’s. He told me it was amazing and that it would be tough to get into without a reservation.
I didn’t let that stop me, so I headed there a little later in the evening on a weeknight and grabbed a coveted seat at the bar.
My eye naturally gravitated to the “Chevy Chase” skirt steak sandwich on the menu… It says “add a Bloody Mary for $5.”
I had to inquire–why was it called a Chevy Chase and what was the significance of the add on Bloody?
“It’s from Caddyshack,” the bartender told me. “He says he’ll have a steak sandwich and a Bloody Mary.”
Hmm… I thought to myself. I’ve never been one of those people who is really great at identifying or spouting off movie quotes, but I am a huge Caddyshack fan and I think I would remember a line about Bloodies in one of my favorite films.
Regardless, I was sold.
Mix: Homemade
Chaser: YES-the only place I visited in AZ that offered!
Fixin’s: Lemon & olive
Price: $5 w/ purchase of Chevy Chase
The meal was delicious, as was the beverage. However, upon returning home, I researched the line and discovered it was from a movie called Fletch, which I have not seen, not Caddyshack as I had been told.
It was an honest mistake and I won’t hold it against the bartender. The meal was excellent and I may not have ordered it otherwise, silly as that may sound. Plus, I was happy I hadn’t overlooked a Bloody Mary line in a great movie.
Definitely check out The Henry when you’re in Phoenix, but don’t feel like you have to get the Chevy Chase! You can order Bloody Mary solo, or enjoy one of their many other beverages as well.
Out For Bloodies
