Things are starting to look up for SouthBridge, if new eatery Tapas Papa Frita is any indication. This vibrant Spanish restaurant is a welcome sign of life in these parts. The space where it’s located — upstairs from swanky Marcellino’s, right next to the canal bridge — has been vacant…

Damon Brasch of Green grew up in awe of his grandmother’s magical cooking powers: “She could cook massive feasts out of this teeny tiny kitchen in the cabin house my grandfather and great-grandfather built.” That inspired him to take some kitchen risks of his own, cooking up tons of tasty vegan food in a teeny tiny kitchen himself.

Mexican food is everywhere in Phoenix — toss a chili pepper anywhere in the city and you’ll likely hit a food cart, grocery or restaurant dishing up tasty tacos and burritos. But no Mexican-inspired dish has been more successful than the quesadilla, a tortilla and cheese delight that can be found on restaurant…
This recipe is a throw-it-all-in-there breakfast inspired by Jamie Oliver’s Pukkolla. It isn’t even a recipe, really, but more of a handful of this and a handful of that sort of thing that will make your tummy happy. What do you do when you take a peek in your cupboard…

You know that stuff you wish for that if it came true it would make your head explode (miniature exotic animal pets!) Well, it’s happened to Fry Girl — almost. Conveyor-belt sushi, or kaiten-zushi, might be the fastest food ever. So it’s spicy tuna rolls and edamame floating by instead…
