You Like-a Da Sauce?
Casual. Quick. Fun. Delicious.
According to the Fox Restaurant Concepts website, those are the 4 words that sum up Sauce. I’m finding it hard to with any of those descriptions. From my experience so far, the guys at Fox just know what’s up. Whether it’s an ultra modern high end steak house, or just a casual lunch spot to grab a quick pizza or salad with a glass of wine, Fox does...
Santa Came Early...
…And He Brought Bacon!
If santa eats too much of this indulgent treat he might get too obese too ever slide down a chimney again. I received this early christmas gift of chocolate covered bacon a couple days ago. i’d say it was a late chanukah present, but seeing as pork is a no-no in the jewish religion, i’ll blame this one on santa. a rather unusual and unexpected gift, but...
Way More Than Crackers...
Unfortunately, not so much for us but for the folks a couple towns south of us in the suburbia known as Chandler, the breakfast options are rather limited. Considering breakfast is one of my favorite 3 meals of the day, i find that to be a large problem. Being the wonderful brother that I am, i agreed to drive out to Chandler to show my brother’s beautiful and very well painted condo to some...
Marcella's And A Movie
While shopping for clothes, housewares and various other items is a rather enjoyable activity to me (when i have a few extra bucks), my first thought when i saw the new wing opening up on the north side expansion of the Fashion Square Mall was, of course, are there any new restaurants going in? Not that downtown Scottsdale really needs anymore dining options than it already has, but i was pleased...
Not So Happy With Hap's
Hey, we tried another BBQ place! Big shocker.
With Kinfolks gone, i’m trying anything and everything to fill the BBQ void in my heart and in my stomach. Bryan’s Black Mountain BBQ so far is my top contender, but Cave Creek isn’t exactly convenient to get to. After a rather awkward, and frankly frightening, trip to the outdoor swap meat/fleamarket at Phoenix Greyhound Park during...

I seriously am obsessed with my dog…
Thank you Adam Barton.

Grab Your Forks!
For quite some time i had been wanting to check out Roaring Fork. I had heard some good things, checked out the menu which was right up my alley, and at the time we lived in the very lush and beautiful Optima Camelview which was literally just next door to the office building which Roaring Fork resides in. Roaring Fork also happens to be possibly my favorite name for a restaurant. According to...
Glooooooorious
One of the great things about living here in Arizona is the ability to eat outdoors most of, if not all year long. Back in NY, especially on Long Island, the outdoor eating options are very limited, no matter what the season. And while there are plenty of beautiful restaurants out here, there really is nothing like enjoying a good meal outside on a sunny, breezy day in a beautiful location. If...
Home Sweet (& Savory) Home Round 3!
Toast & Co
When I heard Toast had opened up in Huntington Village i was all excited assuming it was the second outpost of my beloved Toast in Port Jefferson, but alas, just an imposter. No graham cracker encrusted peanut butter and banana stuffed french toast here, but they do have some interesting things in my favorite town on Long Island that seems to be struggling for real breakfast...
