Where Am I Eating?

By Shannon ArmourJuly 22, 2011

I gave these gourmet tacos a try on a rare trip to Mill Ave. for happy hour. The beer battered fish tacos were fried to a perfect crisp and served with spicy slaw and picked Fresno peppers in warm flour  tortillas. The tacos were good but needed a fair amount of salsa…

Now Open: The Habit Burger Grill Chandler

By Shannon ArmourJuly 20, 2011

Hey Chandler — as of today, you have a new burger joint. California-based The Habit Burger Grill opened the doors of its second Valley location today. Sitting just south of Ray Road, east of the I-10, it’s dangerously close to another California-based chain, In-N-Out Burger. An interesting location choice, but…

Coming Soon: Fuzzy’s Taco Shop

By Shannon ArmourJuly 20, 2011

We can’t help but wonder how long this one is going to last.  It looks like Texas-based Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is the next to take a stab at the restaurant black hole at 414 S. Mill Ave.  Over the last several years, ever since The Spaghetti Company bailed on the space, it…

Now Open: Stacy’s Smokehouse

By Shannon ArmourJuly 19, 2011

Two weeks ago, the prized Phoenix BBQ shack, Stacy’s Smokehouse, opened its second location on Shea just west of Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale.  The original Stacy’s Smokehouse has received tons of national praise including making Bon Appetit’s list of top ten new BBQ joints in ’09 and was referred to as “the fourth best BBQ…

Where Am I Eating?

By Shannon ArmourJuly 15, 2011

Sunday mornings will never be the same now that I have discovered this Phoenix gem. Not only do they have killer sandwiches like this Turkey Club Panini — they have carafes of breakfast cocktails for $3. The sandwich was tasty with soft ciabatta and tangy cheddar but it was my…

The day has finally come potterheads…It’s over. Come on, it’s not like you didn’t see it coming; exactly how many times can one boy be in “grave danger”? (The answer is seven.) Whether you are already suffering from a bad case of separation anxiety after seeing the movie at midnight or your…

Whole Foods Now Selling Chicken Feed; It’s About Damn Time

By Shannon ArmourJuly 14, 2011

Seriously Whole Foods, what gives? Backyard chicken farming has been totally cool and hip for well over a year and we have been having to do the unthinkable and venture into feed and tack stores to purchase food for our ladies. Feed and tack stores?! Oh my, the horror! Okay, all…

Now Closed: Brugo’s Pizza

By Shannon ArmourJuly 13, 2011

Another one? Seriously?! Reno-based fancy pizza joint Brugo’s, who practically just opened, is done already. It’s a sad story, really. The McDonald family moved to Arizona with dreams of bringing their award winning Reno pizza to Phoenix, opened up shop at the Esplanade in April and then later found out…

Now Closed: Taberna Mexicana

By Shannon ArmourJuly 13, 2011

Uh-oh. Looks like summer is starting to take its toll. The Houston-based restaurant group Legacy’s Taberna Mexicana closed its doors last week with a sign on the door stating that it’s the economy’s fault. Pesky economy, that guy is always shutting things down. The Modern Mexican food joint was open…

Now Open: Tilted Kilt at CityScape

By Shannon ArmourJuly 12, 2011

Just in time for the All-Star game, locally owned “breastaurant” (didn’t know that’s what they were called? Click here to educate yourself) Tilted Kilt has opened its sixth location at the downtown commercial/retail/restaurant giant CityScape.  Whew, we were worried we would have to continue going to Hooters for our dose of downtown…
