  • Sea Saw: End of an Era?

    In a thriving economy, we'd call Scottsdale restaurateur Peter Kasperski's grand plans to expand one of his eateries (Sea Saw) and open three brand-new ones (Mexican Standoff, Shell Shock, Confection) "ambitious." Reeeally ambitious. These days, as the SouthBridge spaces for his unopened businesses sit dark (oh god, the rent!), the guy seems incredibly overextended. A piece on AZCentral today reflects the dire situation. It's not surprising to hear that Sea Saw chef (and James Beard award-w

  • This Just In: Chef Line-Up for West of Western

    Wasn't it just New Year's Eve? Weren't we just shivering in our sweaters and jackets? All of a sudden it's March, and it feels like summer's right around the corner. No complaints from me, buddy. I love this time of year, not only because of the balmy weather, but because there's so much to do -- almost too much to do, except that it's nice to have options. Two weekends from now, I know what I'm looking forward to: West of Western Culinary Festival, March 14 and 15 at the Phoenix Art Museu

    www.myspace.com/jaredalan You only wish you could be as cool as DJ Jared Alan. Turntablist impresario (and man-candy extraordinaire) Jared Alan has become an ace at packing in the hipster types to his numerous wingdings over the past couple years. Back when bygone danceteria Glam was still alive, they flocked to FauxShow on Friday nights like well-dressed moths to a flame. The same goes for his series of monthly Cheap Thrills dance parties -- essentially the heir apparent to FauxShow --

  • Coming Soon: Petite Fromage Gourmet Cheese Shop

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/cuse/Wishes do come true. Talk to me long enough and I'll start talking about all the interesting businesses I think Phoenix could use. A great independently owned cheese shop is always at the top of my list. Well, it's finally happening. The fromage gods have listened. Cheese expert Lara Hardwick already owns a gourmet cheese distribution company, Fromage a Trois Fine Foods, and soon she'll be launching a sister business -- a retail shop called Pet

  • The Vig Opening Second Location in Uptown Phoenix

    ​Heads up, uptown Phoenix. You're about to get another hot spot in your backyard. The Vig, the Arcadia restaurant with the best bocce ball in the city, is opening a second location, on 16th St. and Glendale in north Phoenix, according to General Manager Pam Vincent. Yes, that's just across the street from the defunct Richardson's Cuisine of New Mexico, which burned to the ground just two weeks ago. They're in the design stage now, and owners are aiming to open the new location in early sp

  • Postino Owner Craig DeMarco Bringing New Concept to Central

    ​He's already hit a home run with Postino Central, the just-north-of-Camelback eatery that's a spinoff of his ultra-popular Arcadia wine bar. Now restaurateur Craig DeMarco has his sights on something practically across the street. DeMarco is excited about the circa 1940 building at Central Avenue and Oregon, a small strip mall with an unusual sandstone facade that has "tons of history," he says. One of the current tenants is Dee's International Hairport, "Where Rose Mofford gets her ha

  • Over Easy Expands to Scottsdale

    ​Rumors have been floating around for a couple of months that chef/restaurateur Aaron May would be opening another location of his breakfast spot, Over Easy. Indeed, it's true -- and it'll be happening later this month at North Scottsdale's Ice Den skating complex, reports the Trib today. Details aren't confirmed about a second restaurant in the works at the same place (the buzz is that it'll be a grill called 18 Degrees), but will be forthcoming. Currently, May has the original Ove

So while our co-workers were watching the clock all weekend, making sure to show up on time for the big events, we decided to just take it easy and bar hop on our own schedule. Yes, we're the lucky ones.We happened to be in the Arcadia neighborhood on Saturday night (October 17th) so we hit the new-ish neighborhood spot, Arcadia Tavern and then wandered over to the neighb

And, of course, I've always wanted to go, too. Why? For the beautiful canals, of course.I grew up in the Arcadia neighborhood. I've driven along Indian School, east of 44th Street, more times than I can count and it never, not once, occurred to me that we have the similar potential for our canals. Nope, never
