The Fry Bread House is a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, serving fry bread, a Native American dish of dough fried in lard, Crisco, or oil, which the restaurant serves with various toppings or fillings. [1] [2] Exact recipes and ingredients vary but those typical of frybread are flour, salt, and lard, reflecting the commodities doled out on the reservations by the U.S. federal government. [1]

The Fry Bread House was opened in 1992 by Cecilia Miller, a member of the Tohono O'odham Nation of Native Americans. [3] [4] [2] In 2012, it was recognized by the James Beard Foundation as an American Classic. [3] [5] As of 2012 it was one of only five restaurants, and the first Native American restaurant, in the United States to win the James Beard American Classics award. [6] Miller died in 2020 at age 81 and passed the restaurant to her children. [2]
