Caviar Snack Tray at Pronghorn Pizza
It initially took form as an elegant canapé for the release of Dos Cabezas WineWorks’ sparkling wine Prínciprana, but the caviar snack tray at winery-affiliated Pronghorn has a humbler backstory: It was loosely inspired by tostilocos, a popular Mexican antojito (street food). Owners Kelly and Todd Bostock simply thought it would be fun to serve caviar and crème fraîche with a snack-size bag of Lay’s potato chips. People went gaga for the salty hors d’oeuvre, so to get it on the regular menu, the duo worked directly with sustainable sturgeon farm Tsar Nicoulai in San Francisco to get a jar large enough to share, but “small enough to price as an affordable splurge,” Todd says. The couple was surprised by its popularity and theorize that they may sell the most caviar in Southern Arizona
