We love the cute little house-turned-restaurant Coronado Café in central Phoenix. The place is filled with uber-colorful local art and has a hip staff, and its menu offers healthy, fresh lunch items.Bonus: The restaurant recently extended its dinner hours and is incorporating more seafood items since it changed ownership in…
Clear your calendars now for what’s likely to be a pop music fan’s wet dream when cutie pie Christofer Ingle, aka Never Shout Never, comes to town and brings a bevy of sugary acts along with him.Ready for the line-up?It includes Decaydance vets The Cab and Hey Monday, along with…
Yesterday, we chatted him up. Today executive chef Brian Feirstein, from Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, shares this recipe for Maryland-style crab cakes. The dish is super-simple and quick to make, but its beautifully plated presentation makes it seem way fancier. Here’s how to make it:…
For Brian Feirstein, executive chef of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood in Scottsdale, making an impact on the customers goes beyond the kitchen. The Arizona native makes it a point to get to know his customers on a first-name basis and crafts unique dishes based on dietary needs–more than what you’d expect from…
With Missy Elliott missing in action the past few years (fyi, she has a new album coming out in January), her producer Timbaland’s been busy working with Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake and…Miley Cyrus. It sure would have been fun to have been in the studio then. The teen pop star’s…
John Greentree The member of Autonomous Dumpster Divers, Food Not Bombs Phoenix serves food every Sunday at Deck Park at 3 p.m. He’s also a freegan, and you can read more about his dumpster diving exploits here. What’d you eat for dinner last night? Rotini with tomato vegetable sauce, ginger…
As more restaurants incorporate local ingredients on their food menus, some places are also putting fresh produce in their cocktails. At Metro Brasserie, you can get what seems like a serving of fruit in one refreshing Pimm’s Cup, which is jammed with cucumber, lemon and apple, not to mention fresh…
Some people love Joel McHale for his sarcastic commentary on E!’s weekly tabloid show, The Soup. Some think he’s a great comedian and dramatic actor for his roles on NBC’s Community and this year’s The Informant! And others, like my mom and gaggle of female friends, think Joel McHale is…
Last week: Postino in Phoenix…
The holidays inevitably mean lots of candy and chocolate to go around, but it’s not always easy to choose just which type of goody to stuff your face with. While we’ve attempted candy binges before, maybe it’d be a good idea to take a look at this chart from www.eatingtheroad.wordpress.com…
Orange Table is a little hard to find, as it’s tucked away in the Scottsdale Mall, but it’s well worth the search because it provides a great lunch for less than $10. It’s close to Pepin–just look for the, what else, orange tables populating the eatery. The place has a…
Our music editor Martin Cizmar seems to think an American version of X Factor would be sort of pointless, but not if Simon Cowell has anything to do with it. The notoriously cranky American Idol judge wants to make the similarly performance-based X Factor a hit here in America, according to…
It would majorly suck to lose another downtown Phoenix music venue, and The Trunk Space is one of the latest struggling to stay alive. It’s been a rough 3 to 4 months for Trunk Space. “The economy finally hit our low rung, and even though things are looking up, we really need…
When BJ Hernandez, chef and owner of the three Havana Cafe locations in the Valley, started making this recipe, it was only because it was a special she created for her guests. Now, it’s her most popular dish at the restaurants and has found a permanent home on the menu…
It’s hard to believe BJ Hernandez never went to culinary school, considering the recipes she’s created and adopted from her family have kept customers coming back to the Valley’s three Havana Cafe locations for 20 years. Hernandez, who in a previous life was an art teacher for grade and high…
Mr. P-bodyThe 15-year Valley resident, professional DJ and bassist for local band Elvis Before Noon is spinning at the Hotel Valley Ho this New Year’s Eve. He also spins and plays regularly at AZ 88, Olive & Ivy and The Vig. What did you eat for dinner last night? That’s somewhat of a…
It’s pretty nice when a catchy band has the same name of your home town. Thanks, Phoenix from France, for forcing people all across the country to start saying, “I love Phoenix!” The electronic rock band, who is nominated for Alternative Album of the Year with Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, brings…
Grabbing to-go food might not be the healthiest choice, but it’s often a heck of a lot easier than busting out cooking utensils, going shopping for ingredients and trying to make bean burritos and pad Thai ourselves. But with New Year’s resolutions of losing weight staring us down, we’re looking…
This winter season, the specialty cocktails offered on the happy hour menu of Spotted Donkey Cantina in north Scottsdale will have you feeling like it’s a lot warmer, as the chic southwest Mexican restaurant presents sweet, brightly colored drinks more suited for the beach than for cold months. Happy hour’s…
It was totally fitting to see Lady Gaga in Sin City this past weekend–the girl’s familiar with bad behavior, as she often opts to appear pantless and slings sex like it’s her job. And even though she screwed Phoenix over by skipping our city after her tour with Kanye West…
We’re used to Salty Senorita as being a rowdy spot full of 20-something’s downing margaritas while munching on Tex-Mex-y food, but this Sunday, December 20, the colorful bar in Peoria welcomes families as it hosts a Santa brunch–and yes, the man himself will be there, flown in by helicopter. Way cooler than a…
Last week: Local Breeze in Phoenix…
