Chef Rich Hinojosa, The Wigwam
When I've had my fill of traditional holiday fare, I love a bottle of red wine and a great pizza from Grazie (Scottsdale). Well, who am I kidding? I love a bottle of red and a pizza from Grazie anytime.
Christopher Collins, Owner, Grassroots Kitchen & Tap
Taking the lead from A Christmas Story, my favorite holiday movie, I would chose Desert Jade (Phoenix). Nothing says "we burnt the Christmas ham" like a family dinner at our longtime favorite Chinese spot.
Chef Joey Maggiore, Cuttlefish Ocean Kitchen
Our favorite holiday restaurant would be Soi 4 Bangkok Eatery (Scottsdale). Who doesn't want Thai or Chinese for Christmas?
Christopher Gross Chef and Owner, Christopher's Restaurant & Crush Lounge
China Chili (Phoenix).

I'm almost afraid to say this because I don't want it to catch on, but it's a sure bet that RA Sushi at the Kierland Commons will be quiet on the holidays. Hamachi and dengaku tofu is appropriate anytime.
