Some more breakfast / brunch items that are outstanding include the following. The taco trio features bacon that is close to being brisket, along with potatoes bathed in butter with a dense, sophisticated sauce served on the side.

An early morning visit to the slice of Chandler south of the 202 meant we ended up hungry and ready for breakfast, but we don't really know the area at all. Fortunately for us, Google Maps pointed us to Pho Ngoc, were we sat down for pho and banh. The restaurant must be newly opened, as we saw a lot...

I have been back three or four times, generally taking an early or late luncheon with colleagues, as we can talk at a normal volume inside the restaurant, and the food is an excellent mix of "regular" food Americans can eat with relish, and "exotic" stuff that pleases my tastes. ...

During our visit, the music was classic jazz from the late '50s and early '60s. Was it something else this time, or is hard bop just n...

We drove down the length of the 101 to Chandler this evening for an early dinner before my better half had a social obligation, so here are some pictures of what I regard as very nicely done Americanized Indian food. Exit2Lef has expressed exactly what you can expect, and everything was presented in...

Reggie did mention that the Sylvana is originally from Manila, although the ones at the cafe here are made differently after his experiences in France.

My daughter and I stopped by the Temptations Cafe after an early morning of birding down in the Southeast Valley, prompted by the recent visit by Saturday Faturday . The Cafe is located just across McDowell from the old Motorola Government Business headquarters, now General Dynamics Mission systems,...

I agree with JayJ's point regarding the chicken and the vegetable tacos. Really outstanding tacos, a head above the rest on the menu.
