Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

Like Chelsea’s Kitchen a couple blocks away, Fenix Eatery & Bar on Camelback Road recently received back-to-back “no award” ratings.
According to the inspection report, the stored fish wasn’t cold enough, the bar soda nozzle had slime and utensils were soiled with “dried food residue”. The floor was dirty and so were the shelves of the walk-in cooler. And so on.
The oddest complaint from the inspector:
READY TO EAT TURKEY STORED ON TRAY WITH BEEF BLOOD AND IMITATION CRAB MEET STORED UNDER RAW SALMON.
Now that’s a mouthful.
