The menu at Jobot has expanded! What used to just be some breakfast items, tacos, and sweet and savory crepes in a coffee house, now includes yummy gourmet sandwiches. We’ve heard rumors of even more new menu items to come, but for now we just had to try the sandwiches…

Maybe 4/20 has our mind in that place, but when we stopped into Bowl of Greens on the downtown ASU campus off Central Avenue, we weren’t sure if we should expect a Cheba Hut-style stoner gimmick. Luckily, the Mediterranean joint that specializes in build-your-own salads wasn’t just a cheesy ploy…

Considering how many people think Phoenix is devoid of any culture, we sure have our fair share of kabob joints springing up. From Lebanese to Turkish to Greek, the kabob you get depends largely on where it comes from. We were excited to try out the Persian-style kabobs at ZK…
Growing up, we loved everything potato-based. It was no chore for Mom to get us to chow down on French fries, mashed potatoes, and hash browns. It’s hard to remember exactly when we found out that our other favorite, pasta, also came in potato form, but we do remember falling…

We’re used to gussying ourselves up to go to Sushi Roku for great sushi, so when we came back to the W Hotel for Bubbles and Bliss, we expected the crowd to be dressed up to eat way too many mini cupcakes and sip on champagne. We didn’t expect a…

If the style of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian and the themes in Django: Unchained could be fused together into one movie, it might look something like The Retrieval. Director, writer, and editor Chris Eska made the dark Civil War-era flick and it’s getting buzz all across the country, winning a…
On the quest for a light and healthy lunch, there are many hurdles to overcome — the convenience of fast food, the breakroom doughnut box, and even the fatty richness of artisanal local joints. One of our go-to lunches is the soup and salad combo, which gives the energy you…

You don’t have to be an über-hippie vegan nut to enjoy Desert Roots Kitchen. You don’t even really have to be on a health kick. Instead of using fake meats and faux cheese, Desert Roots simply uses real-deal grains, legumes, and veggies — along with a good amount of seasoning…
Everyone copes with tragedy differently. Actor Alev Aydin wrote Lonely Boy after experiencing the effects brain cancer had on his mother, which resulted in symptoms similar to schizophrenia.

Anyone who thinks of French fries as just a side order clearly isn’t going to the right places. But don’t worry, our love of fries compelled us to put together a list of all the best places to have a gourmet fry experience. We went outside the box on this…
Although the Phoenix Film Festival is a locally run event, the movies shown feature talent from all over. It was refreshing to see one film that was made by a local, Elise Salomon. Her documentary about L.A.-area indie record label Wild Records and its close-knit group of artists is a…

Nothing says relaxing on a sunny day quite like a pineapple cocktail. We’ve recently found our cravings for them rising along with the temperatures, so we decided to put two of our favorites up against each other and see which is the ultimate unwinding drink. We kind of played fast…
