For Star subscribers: Longtime chef-owner Jonathan Landeen is pulling the trigger on retirement, passing the proverbial cleaver to new Tucson owners.
Cathalena E. Burch Jonathan Landeen made a promise back in 1994 when he bought The Tucson Cork from philanthropist Bill Hillenbrand.On Saturday, March 25, Landeen will preside one last time over the dining room of Jonathan's Cork steakhouse, a throwback to Tucson's fine dining heydays that included cowboy steakhouses alongside the white-tablecloth ambiance of The Tack Room.
"The Cork is a tradition that is pretty special to the east side," said the 73-year-old Landeen."The Cork isn’t me, even though it is. It’s the people who dine here. It was that way when I bought it.” “We’re taking on a legacy restaurant and people get scared that we’re going to change everything. But one of the reasons we bought this place is it's good. We're not going to change anything," said Murphy, who trained as a chef with the Hilton Hotel culinary program when he was a teen and has spent years as a restaurant consultant.
