In Arizona, celebrating Easter becomes about more than the holiday itself. It's also one of the last big hurrahs before the temperature creeps up to 100 degrees and stays there throughout the summer. That's why we recommend booking a table for Easter brunch, especially if you can snag a seat outdoors in the sunshine.
Plus, in case a traditional Christian holiday isn't your thing, this year you have another reason to head out for an extravagant meal; Easter falls on Sunday, 4/20.
For an incredible Western-style buffet, including pull-apart sticky buns, head to Scottsdale's Roaring Fork. The buffet will include apple walnut orzo salad, candied jalapeno slaw, loaded grits, cast-iron frittatas, and green chili mac and cheese -- but that's just to get you started. Then there's fried chicken with peppercorn gravy, huckleberry French toast, carved ham and roast beef, green chili pork stew, and enchiladas. To really indulge, have pecan bars and bananas foster bread pudding for dessert, and enjoy $5 mimosas and Bloody Marys. The buffet-style brunch is $35 per person, $19 for kids 12 and under. To make reservations, call 480-947-0795.
