“We’re Forking Dining Out Today!”
Dining with Dogs is just a Fluff Story about taking my dogs out to eat. This isn’t full blown reviews on any restaurant and often I do take my dogs to same restaurants over and over again. You need to be aware that not all restaurants with patios are dog friendly. Certified dog friendly patios are recommended but there is always a chance you will be asked to leave because of other people’s allergies or fear of dogs so a plan two should always be in the works. There are several rules to dine out with dogs. All dogs should be well behaved and stay by your side at all times. Dogs are not allowed to sit on furniture or to eat off plates that people use. You also should review the list of dog friendly foods. Most foods you eat can be harmful to your dog. Basically just give them a few bites of plain meat. A few but not all of the harmful or toxic foods are anything made with grapes, macadamia nuts, chocolate, onions, garlic, avocado and bread.
I found a new to us Gourmet Salad Drive Threw called Salad and Go in Phoenix AZ. They specialize in salads and over over ten choices.
They also have a walk up window and a Dog Friendly Patio.
With our order they gave us Dog Biscuits and a few minutes latter our salads were ready.
I had a Apple and Mixed Greens Salad that also contained Golden Raisins, Candied Pecans, Apples and Blue Cheese with added Chicken. This was a really great salad and it only cost $7.18
My salad also looked good smelled good to the Dogs.
My husband had the Santa fe Salad with added Steak.
The dogs liked that one too!
“We got a new Favorite Place in Town.”

“This week we are off to Leo’s Island BBQ in Peoria AZ”
Leo’s BBQ specialty is the Hawaiian Plate Lunch. The Hawaiian Plate Lunch is served in styrofoam and consist of a double scoop of rice a scoop of creamy macaroni salad, some steamed cabbage and a double (maybe triple) pile of meat. You have about 30 choices to pick from and some are combos all for around $8.00.
My husband had the BBQ Chicken and Shrimp Combo. (shrimp look like onion rings)
I had the Island Chicken Curry with Brown Rice. It’s a lot of food…
The Dogs were very interested.
The dogs always enjoy the trip to Leo’s Island BBQ.

“We’re off to Banh Mi Bistro in Phoenix AZ”
We went to Bahn mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in Phoenix. This is a Pho Free Vietnamese Eatery. The Specialty of the house are the Banh Mi Sandwiches. They offer a long list of sandwiches to pick from but they offer something for everyone. The Bahn Mi is a Baguette that is made with rice flour. The bread has a crispy exterior and a soft interior. The sandwiches come with house made aioli, jalapeños, cucumbers, fresh cilantro, carrot radish salad and the filling. The Original also contains pork pate. We come here often because we enjoy the tasty food and the reasonable prices. Other foods we enjoyed here are a variety of rolls, dumplings, lotus and papaya salads and MORE!
I went with the Chicken and Rice Plate and my husband went with a Shaken Beef Banh Mi.
The food is delicious like it always is and all of use are happy!

“We are off to Carvalho’s Brazilian Kitchen in Scottsdale AZ”
“Ummmm”
Carvalho’s Brazilian Kitchen in Scottsdale AZ offers maybe the most attractive Dog Friendly Patio that I’ve ever seen. Our waiter treated the dogs very well and gave my dogs a special bowl of water for them.
I ordered the Salmon that was topped with a Passion Fruit Sauce.
The salmon was well prepared and the passion fruit sauce was was bright, refreshing and was a perfect accent for the salmon. The potatoes were very creamy with lots of butter and there was fresh carrot coins and charred tender broccoli.
My husband got the Traditional National Brazilian Dish of Feijoada. It’s Black Bean Stew that contains sausage, beef and pork with sides of fresh orange, fried collard greens, a big bowl of rice and for sprinkling nutty tasting manioc flour (cassava).
Besides my husband both dogs enjoyed it all but I wasn’t able to get many pictures of the younger dog because it was very sunny and she stayed under the table the whole time.
“I Forking Love Carvalho’s Brazilian Kitchen. I can’t wait till the next time!”
