To the uninitiated, Chandler’s Snedigar Park looks like an abandoned water park in post-apocalyptic-drought Phoenix. There’s an empty swimming pool with a ladder, giant concrete steps to nowhere, and what appear to be several kiddy pools surrounded by towering palms.

For a simple, straight-up stack of classic, diner-style pancakes, hit the counter at Chase’s Diner. These housemade buttermilk pancakes are grilled and beloved, and come with two eggs any style, and either bacon or sausage if you go for the combo.

Nowhere but here will you find a pakalolo toasted sub(smoked ham, Swiss cheese, and Hawaiian pineapple), but even the old standards served at this comfortable lunch spot are tweaked attractively. Like the Panama Red, a new take on Chicken Marinara smothered in home-made red sauce and topped with Parmesan and Provolone. Even their pizza subs […]

Chodang in Chandler is the ideal spot to get acquainted with Korean food.

If you get anything at Chodang, […]

Chon Thai Food is a casual, family-run Thai restaurant in Chandler with a crowd-pleasing menu of classic Thai curries and noodle stir-fries. What the menu lacks in hard-to-find regional dishes, it more than makes up for in consistently fresh and delicious fare. The crispy garlic chicken is a house specialty, a generously portioned dish of […]
In the “eight great traditions” of Chinese cuisine, the food of northeastern China doesn’t make the cut. Fortunately, the owners of Chou’s Kitchen know a good thing when they cook it, and adventurous Valley diners (yes, there can be a language barrier at Chou’s) won’t be disappointed when sampling the eatery’s less-familiar Chinese fare. Northeastern […]

This makes Chupacabra an ideal stop for for those who want to […]
Brothers Josh and Jason Duren live by the motto, “Out of bad comes good,” and it was this belief that created the foundation for Arizona’s widely loved and largest cidery, Cider Corps in Mesa.
