  • Chef Who? Local Businesses Don't Know Local Chefs

    Regular Chow Bella readers should easily be able to rattle off names of Phoenix's elite chefs like Eddie Matney and Michael de Maria, but according to the O'Neil Associates/ASBA Arizona Economic Indicators Monitor, the average joe on the street has no idea.  Three thousand local businesses were asked to voice their pick for the Valley's top chef/restaurant owner to complete this report. So how did Phoenix's bastions of culinary experience rank?  According to the O'Neil Associations

  • Christopher Gross Brings Flavor Tripping Trend to AZ

    Listening to chef Christopher Gross explain the mind- and palate-expanding sensation of eating "miracle fruit," I can't help but think of Willy Wonka waxing poetic about Everlasting Gobstoppers. "You can eat a lemon wedge, and it tastes just like a piece of candy!" he tells me. It's called flavor tripping. Apparently this is what happens when you nibble on synsepalum dulcificum, a West African berry that's been dubbed "miracle fruit" for its unusual taste-transforming abilities. It makes s

  • Christopher Gross Takes on Chowhound Regular

    I can't resist the drama, so I've reposted a current Chowhound thread in case the moderators possibly pull the entires. In a nutshell, Eric Schaefer -- a local foodie who goes by ejs1492 on Chowhound, and whose blog, Eric Eats Out, is one of my faves -- has been accused by chef Christopher Gross of doing something unethical by posting a negative review of Christopher's restaurant at the Biltmore. Apparently Gross thinks Schaefer was out of line in mentioning NOCA in his review (posted back

  • Christopher Gross' Chef's Tour: A Recap

    Sloane BurwellJames Porter gets Aaron May's autograph. After this weekend, it's time to replace "party like a rockstar" with "drink like a chef." Friday night is a bit of a blur for most (if not all) of the participants in a Chef's Tour of central downtown Phoenix restaurants (yes, and bars) dreamed up by chef Christopher Gross and made a reality by Terry Madeksza and Samantha Jackson from the Downtown Phoenix Partnership. Terry and Samantha invited me along to serve as a tour guide, so here's

    Foie gras is on menus at some of the best restaurants in the Valley.
