Last Wednesday marked the day that the highly anticipated Fox Restaurant Concepts' new endeavor, Culinary Dropout, opened in Scottsdale. Aside from the food, check out the beer list!

Funny, we were just thinking the other day about how to spend this $25,000 that's been burning a hole in our pocket and then we discovered the Cupcake Car...problem solved.
