Just a few months after announcing plans to open a second Valley location later this year, Denver-based Snooze, an AM Eatery is back with plans for a third restaurant. The next outlet of the retro-cool breakfast and brunch spot will be located in Tempe, specifically inside the remodeled Art Annex…
It’s awfully hot to garden. In fact, it’s awfully hot to go out to go out to eat. So we thought we’d share a list of “must dos” for food-grower to enjoy indoors, before it’s time for fall planting. From books and films to TV shows and classes, there’s a…
Nothing beats a juicy burger, on a perfect bun with melted cheese, and the oils dripping off the burger. We put Hopdoddy Burger Bar and Paradise Valley Burger Co. in the ring to see who takes the prize in the battle of the burgers. In This Corner: Hopdoddy Burger Bar…
Back in April we told you that Outstanding in the Field, the company that hosts unique outdoor dining events in cities from coast to coast, would be returning to Gilbert’s The Farm at Agritopia for a one-night event. That dinner, which will feature cuisine from chef Gio Osso of Virtu…
Dear Guy at an Upscale Phoenix Cocktail Lounge in a Tank Top, You are why we can’t have nice things. Sincerely, Lauren There, I said it. And no, that’s not a random, made-up reference. I was actually out at a fancy new bar — er, “cocktail parlour” — on a…

Bob Tam Chef, partner Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour www.bitterandtwistedaz.com In the words of Bitter & Twisted Principle Barman and Proprietor Ross Simon, the downtown cocktail lounge is “a bar that happens to have great food.” As in, first and foremost, this place is about the drinks.

I just found out I’m Jewish. Thanks to a DNA testing kit that my husband bought each of us for Christmas, I have some new bragging rights. Somewhere in the last 300 years I have some ancestors who were Ashkanazi Jews, probably making knishes and briskets and peddling them across…
There’s no denying the explosive popularity of both kale and Brussels sprouts among food snobs in the past year or so. However, one British vegetable seed house, Tozer Seeds, has been working on combining the two for 15 years and is finally ready to launch the hybrid veggie this fall…

The Guilty Pleasure: Starbucks Fizzio Sodas Where to Get It: Test markets, including Phoenix Price: $2.45 for a Tall What It Really Costs: The shame of frequenting the Starbucks drive-thru (don’t lie, you know you do it) Late last month, Starbucks unleashed its newest product on 16 states in the…
I like the classics. A bowl of smooth ice cream. A tart made with fresh fruit. The buttery, flaky shatter of the first bite of a croissant. Maybe I just appreciate a simply, beautifully made baked good, but I do get a bit worried when a new pastry trend hits…
If you’re a taco eater you’ll likely remember — with a shudder — when Tacos Atoyac closed its doors suddenly in March. The team behind the popular Mexican restaurant, Daniel Maldonado and Pablo Lopez, had gone their separate ways. Lopez returned less than two months later — same space, same…
