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.
Folks in north Scottsdale have a new breakfast and lunch spot, family-owned Perk Eatery, which opened in December.
Owner Pauline Thomas Martinez tells me that everything’s made from scratch and sourced from as many local, organic purveyors as possible, including grass-fed Arizona beef for what she calls “a heck of a burger.” It’s a flame-broiled 8-ounce patty served on a challah roll, and is one of Perk’s most popular dishes.
Perk’s housemade corned beef is the star of the Reuben sandwich, while cage-free Hickman’s eggs are used in omelets, scrambles, and huevos rancheros. (Two eggs with slow-roasted pork also sounds good!) And for the French toast, there’s pure maple syrup on the side.
Perk Eatery is at 6501 E. Greenway Pkwy. in Scottsdale. Call 480-993-6026 for information.
