We have a bunch of choices of restaurants to dine out to in Metro Phoenix. For me it helps to decide on a restaurant by just reading the menu. I want to see if something stands out to me. I want to see something that says YUM I want to eat that. Not often but a few times I came across menu items that made me laugh. It’s a possibility that you might find some of the unusual food amusing as I did.
Abacus Inn Chinese Restaurant in Glendale has Szechuan Chicken on the menu. It’s described as Chicken Breast that is “deep DRIED” to crispness and simmered in garlic and Szechuan hot chili. Let’s get some “Deep Dried” Chicken!
Deep Dried Chicken Breast…….
Let’s do Global Italian!
An Italian Restaurant called DeNora’s Ristorante recently opened in Phoenix. On the menu listed under Pasta is- Nona’s House red sauce, pulled BURRITO and torn basil. (Update****Sadly Nona’s has since closed)
Pulled Burrito.
There’s Asian out there too!
Sorry but Jellyfish Head with Sweet Peas sounds very unusual to not all but most people………Do you only eat the head from Jellyfish? ……….I don’t know…..but it does look like a Jelly Fish is all Head with legs attached……so maybe you do! (update….D&Y is still open but the Jelly Fish Head w/sweet peas may have been removed from the menu)
There’s “Begtables” out there!
Roasted Begtable w/Goat Cheese…Ummm WTFork is a Begtable?
A new Asian is out there and it’s called “Chinaese.”
Here’s an Authentic Chinaese Menu from Szechuan Cuisine in Glendale.
You say “Pomento?”
The pickled fried green tomatoes from Starlite BBQ are topped with POMENTO Cheese…..
I was researching on how to prepare Lebanese Style Lentil Salad.
On epicurious the ingredients are kjh (whatever that is?) and the preparation is lkhj; lkhj; klj WTFork does that mean?
Sautéed A dog? SAUTED A DOG! A DOG! WTFORK does this mean?
Apparently there is a season for Falafels.
This gem comes from the European Bakery and Cafe in Glendale. They have Falafel listed as vegetarian burgers, lettuce, tomato, pickles, special sauce. CURRENTLY OUT OF SEASON.
Unusual Food I found mostly in Metro Phoenix.
