• Next Week: Digestif Hosts Top Chef Stephanie Izard

  The torturous thing about watching Bravo's Top Chef is that it tends to leave viewers with insatiable cravings for food that only exists in TV land. You watch the chefs hustle to create a dish, you cheer them on... and then, you go to bed very, very hungry. So here's your chance to actually eat the fine creations of Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard -- a Scottsdale Culinary Institute grad -- instead of simply drooling at the thought of it. Apparently Izard hit it off with the folks at Digest

• Mesa Gal's Recipe Lands Her on The Food Network

  That Guy Fieri is one busy dude. It seems like he has a lot on his plate hosting Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives (a Chow Bella fave for all the local indie restaurants it's featured), which takes him all around the country, and Guy's Big Bite. But he's also hosting Ultimate Recipe Showdown, now in its second season, and has brought yet another Phoenix metro area name into the national spotlight. Her name is Jamie Nondorf, and she's a Mesa resident who will appear on the new episode of Ultimate R

• Phoenix Phoodies: Chef Beau McMillan Took Out an Iron Chef, Now He's Headed Back to TV

  Chef Beau MacMillan, Beau Mac to his friends, is down to earth. Which is actually no small feat, since as of late, he's had his share of face time on TV. Best known for his stint on the Food Network's Iron Chef America, Battle Kobe Beef, where he made quick work of Iron Chef Bobby Flay, he's still retained his humble charm and warm, endearing laugh. Where other chefs might be bolting to the Next Big Thing, Beau's still here in town at Paradise Valley's Elements, turning out artisanal, season

• Food and Fights: Highlights of the 2009 Scottsdale Culinary Festival

  Everyone who's anyone in the Phoenix metro culinary scene, from local foodies to the stars of Hell's Kitchen and Bravo's Top Chef, turned out for this weekend's Scottsdale Culinary Festival. Libations flowed at the Southwest Festival of Beers and inside the Robert Mondavi wine garden. Restaurant chefs whipped up crowd-pleasing appetizers and small samples, while food vendors offered larger portions of barbecue ribs and enchiladas for those whose palates weren't satiated by dozens of tiny noshes.

  Jonathan McNamaraChef Mel Mecinas plates his final dish as time runs out. ​Allez-Cuisine!
