Re: The Michelin Guide and pay-to-play
The most interesting thing to me is how local city tourism boards paid for the coverage, which means some parts of Colorado (Colorado Springs, some Denver suburbs) weren't even eligible to have their restaurants reviewed. Is THAT how it works?! ...* rustling papers *... Well, I'll be damned. That I...

Hanshin Pocha - Booze Food Straight from S. Korea to Mesa
In the wake of Drunken Tiger (hooray for Drunken Tiger!), we seem to be getting a little run of pojangmacha joints in Phoenix. Most recently, you've got Pocha 54 from New Culinary Concepts, which is somehow taking over the city with really mediocre Asian joints (Zu Izakaya, Bei, Zu and Pocha, etc.) ...

Re: Seattle, Washington
Oh, man, I have SO MUCH to say about Seattle. I've been up there 5-6 times in as many years for various reasons, and I've had so much wonderful food over those visits. Rather than trying to do the monster post, I'm going to drop them in here one or two at a time as I get around to it. STRONG second ...

This is interesting, because my one thought on the fish was that I wish it had been a bigger, meatier fish. Especially for...

Re: Can we talk about Taco Chelo? [DTPHX]
Yeah, Taco Boys really stole their thunder, which is a shame, not because Taco Boys isn't awesome, but because they're so different. Suny Santana takes a LOT of care with this stuff. tacochelo_carnitas.jpg I mean, come ON... who else is going all-out with their carnitas like this? Snouts, copper pot...

Fabio on Fire Panini & Gelateria - Peoria Italian Sandwich Shop
The OG Fabio on Fire has been a West Valley gem since it opened, so it took me way too long to get to Fabio's new(ish) sandwich and gelato shop. But my son and I dropped by Sun City West and took the grandparents out to lunch recently, and I'm really happy about this place. (And if I were on that si...

Re: Food Nerd Friday 10/6 - West Hut - POSTPONED
Crapcrapcrap. Due to some unforeseen scheduling snafu, it looks like we need to postpone this one. Which is maybe for the best since there appears to be interest from some folks who can’t make it.
With apologies for the last-minuteness, stay tuned.
