"Ever since American artists Donald Judd opened his foundation here in the 1980s, the Texan desert city of Marfa has been a mecca for art lovers. But in recent years it has made a foodie name for itself, mostly thanks to The Capri and its menu of avant-garde Mexican-inflected fare such as tempura-fried yucca blossoms and prickly-pear wine.
