My 2nd Nibble at Lure Fish House in Scottsdale AZ

Leave a reply

Lure Fish House has opened in the Gainey Village section of Scottsdale Arizona. They are a reasonably priced fish restaurant. I was told that the fish are flown in daily and all the vegetables they use are organic. They have only been open a month at this time and at the moment are only open for dinner Monday-Saturday but lunch and Sunday are suppose to be added soon.

Inside are booths, half booths, an oyster bar and tables. Not all but many tables were high tops.

They also offer patio seating that wraps around the front of the building.

Tables get marked sanitized so you know that you can sit there.

We ordered and they started us out with delicious fresh baked sour dough rolls and soft butter. We shared one and took the other two home. They are too delicious to waste.

My husband can eat more than me and tried a mix of east coast (blue point) and west coast (British Columbia) oysters.

The east cost oysters have larger more shapely shells. My husband said that the east coast oysters also had a brinier more salty flavor but the west coast oysters were softer.

For dinner I had the branzino with sautéed spinach and almond pesto cauliflower.

It’s a good sized fish with crispy seasoned skin. It came with a ramekin of what taste like lemon butter wine sauce. Everything was prepared reasonably well.

My husband tried the cioppino.

It’s a mix of fish (salmon tonight), clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops in a spiced briny seafood laced tomato broth with garlic toasts. Today this was slightly over cooked but my husband neglected to say that until we left.

Tried the blueberry cobbler for dessert.

It was nice and fresh tasting and not too sweet. The oatmeal crumble didn’t seem too heavy.

They offer a pay by phone option too!

Last time we did take out and took out The sand dabs with pineapple slaw and cilantro corn salad. (I really enjoyed this one a lot)

My husband had the tequila lime shrimp pasta. This was very spicy but delicious!

We also enjoyed the key lime pie.

That was a little taste and my 2nd nibble at Lure Fish House in Scottsdale AZ

A little Taste of Belle’s Nashville Kitchen in Old Town Scottsdale AZ

Leave a reply

Belle’s Nashville Kitchen recently opened in Old Town Scottsdale. They are a small restaurant with a bar. They offer a limited casual menu. Some of the items that they offer are Nashville Style Hot Chicken Sandwiches, Burgers, Grilled Mac & Cheese Sandwiches, Salads, BBQ Salmon, Tacos and Jambalaya.

We both wanted to try the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich.

They don’t have an outdoor patio but the tables are well spaced. The atmosphere is western inspired. It all looks shiny and brand new.

This time we did take out.

We both got Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches. Mine came with a very large side salad. My husband got fries with his. My picture isn’t the best and it’s hard to see how unusual the fries are.

The fries are shaped almost in-between a fry and a chip. It’s like you get a fry and a chip in one.

Here is a closer look at the sandwich.

The chicken breast is moist with a crispy coating that is very cayenne and paprika forward. It is spicy but is more like medium hot instead of hot. The chicken is surrounded by a creamy slaw, pickles and a creamy sauce on an eggy soft bun.

That was a little taste of Belle’s Nashville Kitchen in Old Town Scottsdale AZ.

Dining Out With DOGS in Metro Phoenix AZ – November 2020

Leave a reply

Dining out with dogs in metro Phoenix is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It sort of started with my dog Louie. He was diagnosed with aggressive cancer and was given 3-6 month life expectancy. Louie was elderly and couldn’t do a lot but he enjoyed eating and going out to eat so I took him out to eat as often as possible. Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat.

There are a few things that you need to know before you dine out with dogs. One is that not all outdoor patios are dog friendly. Certified dog friendly patios have signs. If you don’t see a sign then you have to call the manager and ask if it’s ok to bring your dog. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to dine with your dog at off times to avoid other people (potential problems) and other dogs (more potential problems). Other people and other dogs are potential problems for many reasons. Some people just don’t like dogs and other people are allergic. Other dogs can be a problem too because dogs enjoy barking at each other and this can be a disturbance and you might be asked to leave.

There are some rules for dining out with dogs. Your dog(s) must be by your side at all times. Dogs are NOT to eat off restaurant plates or sit on restaurant chairs.

Most people food and drink can be hazardous or even toxic to your dog. You MUST get a list of foods to avoid from your veterinarian so you can make good decisions. Here in Phoenix you also need to be aware of the temperature. dogs are just like people and have different heat tolerances. HOWEVER DOGS ARE LESS HEAT TOLERANT THAN PEOPLE>>>>>Heat travels up though their paws and your friend wears a fur coat. For the most part 90 degrees and above is too hot to dine out with dogs. Leave your pet at home if there is any doubt.

Our first Dining out with dogs was at Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in North Phoenix. (They are a pho-free Vietnamese restaurant that offers around a dozen different Banh Mi baguette sandwiches and most Vietnamese favorites.

Today I had a grilled chicken noodle bowl with an egg roll.

It’s delicious! It’s part minty refreshing salad and pickled vegetables. There are rice noodles. Lots of nicely seasoned chicken with crushed peanuts, scallions and fish sauce (to dip the chicken). Also and egg roll.

Both my dogs see I have a lot of chicken to share with them.

My husband got a delicious shaken beef banh mi. The beef inside it is always very good. It’s topped with pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro and a jalapeño. They also make house made aioli that I get when I get a Banh Mi but my husband is very anti mayo and anti aioli so he goes without. I’ve mistaken the beef for filet mignon but it is super tender ribeye.

He also shared some beef with the dogs.

That was dining out with dogs at Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in North Phoenix.

We regularly go to Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante in Glendale/Arrowhead/#UpperWestSide for delicious Italian Food, Pizza and their beautiful, comfortable dog friendly patio.

The patio is modern, clean and neat with an indoor/outdoor bar, shades, misters for cooling and heaters for warming things up. They might be the only restaurant in this part of town that offers a park-like patio atmosphere.

They start us off with complimentary fresh baked breads.

Someone is already excited.

Today I went with the strawberry chicken salad.

Someone was eyeing up my chicken.

My husband got an Italian meat panino sandwich that came with a side salad.

Someone’s mouth was watering.

We all enjoyed our lunch at Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante.

Last stop of the month was from Phila-Deli in Glendale/Arrowhead/#upperWestSide.

Phila-Deli is a casual sandwich and cheesesteak place. They also offer these really great build your own $7.50 salads.

This salad is only fast food priced and way better than fast food.

My husband enjoys the cheesesteaks here. They offer steak, chicken and meat-free crumbles for cheesesteak options.

My large dog was here but somehow I couldn’t get a good photo of her so here she is from home.

My dogs always get very excited to dine here and usually the people working here run out with bowls of water for the dogs and some surprises.

Well that was Dining Out With Dogs in Metro Phoenix for November 2020. We hope to see you next month!

Take out Food in Metro Phoenix AZ – Week 36 of the Coronavirus Pandemic – Twisted Italian, Rocket burger

Leave a reply

Take out food is a safer option than dining in during the coronavirus pandemic. We will not be dining in during the pandemic but we do consider dining out on uncrowded out door patios at off times.

The Twisted Italian is located in North Peoria in the #UpperWestSide. This restaurant is located in a large newer shopping center. They do have two outside tables but most seating is indoors. They serve most of your usual American Italian foods but also offer a few things that are “Twisted” like three kinds of pierogi on the menu and also an Italian Relleno that comes with fried raviolis.

Tonight we took out the the Friday Dinner Walleye Special and the Pepperonata with extra sausage.

OMG they gave me a whole buffet pan of food. Look how ENORMOUS that pan is with the walleye. The vegetables (a mix of green beans, asparagus, and zucchini) are tender crisp, very fresh and very good. The fish is mild and meaty. It’s lightly breaded and covered with a tangy lightly creamy citrus sauce. It’s slightly more tangy or sour than the sauce usually is. This same sauce is on the angel hair pasta. It’s too tangy or sour for me. I can’t eat it because it is painful to me…..(but I am more sensitive than most people.) I do note that I had this special before and it was delicious last time. This special is very popular. According to the website all this food is only $17.50. They must have made an error on my receipt because they only charged me $14.75 so I don’t know if I should bother them and let them know they made an off batch of sauce?

My husband did alright with the Pepperonata with extra sausage. He said that the sausage in his meal was very good and had extra to save to snack on. I shared some of the fish with my dogs and they got a taste of the sausage.

www.EatTwisted.com

Our other take out of the week was from Rocket Burger in North Phoenix. They serve burgers and other sandwiches, sides, soft serve and a few 100 kinds of bottled sodas. Recently The New Times wrote an article that Rocket Burger serves one of the top ten chicken sandwiches in metro Phoenix. I’ve been here a bunch of times but never tried a chicken sandwich here so today was the day.

The chicken sandwich is the one in the middle of the picture. The one I got is made with a large soft eggy bun, thin sliced pickles, a tomato slice, horseradish mayo, sliced jalapeños, really REALLY HOT Rocket Relish, two ultra thin battered chicken fingers and this sandwich is only $8.49. The person from The New Times said her chicken sandwich had an incredible crunch to it. Mine just taste battered and isn’t crunchy……(maybe it got soft due to take out and not dining in????) But WOW that horseradish mayo is really great and that rocket relish has a great flavor to it. This sandwich is boarder-line too spicy for me but I like the flavors of the sauce and relish. The chicken is ok. It’s a very good sandwich for only $8.49. I sure have paid more for sandwiches that weren’t this good.

We shared some fries and my husband had a double cheeseburger today. It usually is great but today was a little dry.

My dogs sure didn’t mind trying some cheeseburger and some chicken from Rocket Burger.

The Amazing FnB Restaurant in Scottsdale AZ – Always Worth a Fork

Leave a reply

The AMAZING (FORKING AMAZING) FnB Restaurant is located in the arts district by Old Town Scottsdale AZ. The chef and co-owner is James Beard Award Winning Charleen Badman. She serves an ever changing menu of global farm focused contemporary sharing plates. The menu usually features a few special obscure vegetables and is a vegetable heavy menu but always offers enough meat items to please meat eaters. Arizona wines are always featured on the menu.

Things have changed since my last visit. FnB (at the moment during the pandemic) is currently out door only dining. The patio has been expanded.

Astroturf has been installed in the courtyard between the buildings and cheerful red lights line the restaurant perimeters. Tables are well spaced and all the help are wearing masks and or face shields.

They always start you off with local Noble Bread and extra high quality olive oil.

The menu is always amazing and it’s always hard to decide on what to order. The solution to that problem is to order more than you need and take the amazing leftovers home. That’s what we always do here.

Tonight we started out with rosemary socca (chickpea) bread with cardoon (obscure vegetable that looks like a monster with teeth cloned with a celery) relish with Calabrian chiles (delicious mild heat Italian pepper).

Next was roasted beets, smoked salmon, cream cheese, chives and poppy seeds, other seeds, flower petals, and an unusual but delicious herb.

We had to share another small plate.

Delicata squash, rosemary, tepary beans, in potlicker vinaigrette.

For our dinner course we shared the Mexican Pink Grouper (from Chula Seafood), sungold salbitxadas (unusual tiny sweet extra flavorful tomatoes), iitoi onions (special green onions only found at farmers markets or farms), almonds, rice.

We had TWO really great boxes of food to bring home for latter.

These days a $20. deposit a person is required for your reservation that gets deducted off your bill.

Here are only a few of past plates we enjoyed at FnB.

Langos Hungarian Fried (potato) Bread Salad
Butterkin Squash
This is 1/2 of the Pink Grouper
Apple Sharlotka
Kale Falafels
Leeks, chickpeas, beet falafel plate pickled eggs
pork shank
poppy seed tangerine cake
Gilfeather rutabaga with onion ginger cream
deep chocolate whiskey cake
snap peas, macadamia nuts, chives, mint, tarragon

Twist Bistro and Gallery in North Scottsdale AZ – Worth A Fork*****Now Ginny’s Same Owners New Menu

Leave a reply

Twist Bistro and Gallery is a restaurant and art gallery located in north Scottsdale Arizona. They opened during the pandemic around May of 2020. Twist Bistro and Gallery offers a seasonal menu of modern detailed foods that swing towards Mediterranean cuisine. This restaurant is a husband and wife team. The husband is the chef and the wife runs the front of the house and did all the beautiful artwork on the walls that are also offered for sale.

To the left is a long bar with bar stools

Today we sat on the patio and they started us off with a generous serving of these delicious fresh warm complimentary feta and dill studded muffins with scallion honey butter. (YUM! these are really great!)

My husband tried one of the special crostini.

It was made with that special luxury Iberico ham from special black footed pigs that eat mostly acorns from either Spain or Portugal. This kind of pork is more marbled and red than regular pork. There was also melty brie cheese and blackberry mostarda on the toast.

Then we shared the farm to table salad that they were offering today.

This salad had all kinds of things in it tied together with some sort of lavender vinaigrette. There was grilled squash, arugula, radicchio, almonds, cheese, cranberries, and apples. It sure was unique and different!

I tried the chef’s fish special.

It was broiled wild caught mild fresh tasting lemon sole in a basil white wine broth with house made pasta and topped with fennel salad.

My husband tried the Sonoran Paella Verde.

It was a very detailed dish that was packed with grilled Main scallops, gulf shrimp, chicken, chorizo, crusty – green chili tomatillo rice, pumpkin seeds, hominy and tortilla hay. My husband kept saying that this was really REALLY good!

Since I wasn’t doing take out I didn’t have to worry about my dessert melting. We tried the light refreshing lemon sorbet.

I was surprised that it was topped with mixed berry jam. I am surprised again…This lemon sorbet taste just like Rosati Italian water ice to me. I haven’t had this since I left Pennsylvania. That water ice is everywhere there. Haven’t tasted water ice like this in a long time.

Here are some of the other foods we tried from Twist Bistro and Gallery.

black truffle ricotta mushroom crepe

loch Duart salmon – black rice, vegetables, tomato salad, pistou sauce

shrimp and sausage diablo – vegetables, cheesy polenta

beignets

everything flatbread with house made lox, wild boar meatballs with gnocchi, chicken and dumplings with goat cheese and blackberry mostarda, strawberry rhubarb cobbler and muffins

falafels, steak sandwich pallard, a very detailed Mediterranean salad with added salmon and mascarpone cheese cake

southern breaded shawarma kabobs with minted cucumbers, olives, jalapeños and preserved lemon basil syrup, loch duart salmon, shrimp and sausage diablo, muffins mascarpone cheese cake

Moroccan festival soup, grilled Hawaiian opah special, steak sandwich.

Everything from every visit was delicious!

Confluence Restaurant Carefree AZ – Always Worth a Fork

Leave a reply

Confluence is a small but upscale restaurant ran by a husband and wife team in Carefree Arizona that is just north of North Scottsdale. The food that is served is high quality modern American Cuisine. The changing seasonal menu usually contains a few hot and cold appetizers, a few fresh fish options, a few meat options and a few desserts. Tasting options are also available. Currently Confluence offers lunch and dinner every day but is closed on Sundays.

Today we sat on the patio. It’s around five degrees cooler in Carefree than Phoenix. Tonight it is almost too cold to dine on the patio but with the fireplace and a heater it’s very comfortable.

Everyone else is dining inside.

We started out with thick slices of the most delicious fresh baked country bread with high quality olive oil and the very detailed white wine poached sea trout.

The flavors all go together well and the fish is prepared to perfection. The flavors dance a bit in your mouth. Sweetness from a little apricot. Pickled shallots cut the fat and sweet. Key lime poppy vinaigrette ties everything together.

For my main I went with the hamachi. The fish dishes are maybe the best fish dishes in all of metro Phoenix. All of them are expertly prepared and are surrounded by interesting and surprising flavors.

The mild white fish is meaty but very tender and melts in your mouth. It has a nicely seasoned exterior that is crisp. The magic here is the way the flavors go together. These blacked figs are really heavenly. They are seared with crispy exteriors and go insanely well with the black garlic and labne. The broccolini is the crunchy neutral player here. Enjoying this plate is like a gift. Now I know that figs, black garlic and labne is a magical combination. I can even imagine these flavors as a not too sweet dessert!

My husband went with the Iberico Puma.

Iberico pork is very special. It comes from free range pigs from southern Spain and Portugal. The pigs eat mostly acorns and their meat is very different than from regular pigs. Iberico pork looks more like beef with the red color and marbling. It’s a more juicy pork with a unique flavor enhanced from acorns. Here it was accented with sweet potato, blue corn – corn bread, green chili, pepitas, and cipolllini onion.

It would be a big mistake to skip dessert here. The desserts are usually just as spectacular as the food.

Tonight we enjoyed sake poached pear with angel cake, candied pecans and yuzu curd. This is just wickedly amazing. That yuzu curd is a bomb that goes crazy well with the soft as a feather angel cake and sake poached pears. The candied pecans add that yummy sweet nutty salty just right crunch to complete all that taste sensations.

A little taste of Lure Fish House in Scottsdale AZ – Week 34 Take Out Food

Leave a reply

Take out and delivery are less risky dining options during the pandemic. We do consider patio dining during off times.

For our first visit we decided to do take out from the newly opened Lure Fish House in Scottsdale. They are a family owned restaurant with four California locations and this brand new one in Gainey Village. They offer a seasonal menu of all kinds of fresh flown in seafood at reasonable prices.

It looks like they have at least a dozen outside umbrella topped tables.

Inside looks cozy with an oyster bar.

Looks like they have a lot of booth seating and many are closed for social distancing.

I tried the Sally’s Sand Dabs.

Oh WOW! This is really GREAT! I got a very good portion of DELICIOUS fresh sand dabs. They are so tender and fresh tasting in a perfect lightly buttered herb crust. The caper sauce is just right and accents everything in a delicious way. The sides I went with were a light and not too sweet pineapple slaw and a cilantro laced corn salad. The kernels were sweet with a nice fresh texture.

My husband really ENJOYED the Tequila Lime Shrimp Pasta.

This is also really great but is a very VERY spicy creamy tomato tequila lime sauce with spinach and Gulf shrimp, garlic toast and pasta. I tried a taste of the sauce. It has great flavors to it but is MIGHTY HOT that builds. We hope that the restaurant doesn’t neutralize this dish to please the masses because this dish will be too hot for about half the people out there. BUT WE LOVE IT THIS WAY!

We also tried a little bit of the rolls. They are very good with a developed taste. They will not go to waste here.

They offer a nice variety of desserts and today we went with the key lime pie.

It seems light and is flavored nicely. The graham crust is tasty. You can’t go wrong with this one.

My dogs got to enjoy some sand dabs.

Taco Tasting at Tacos Calafia in Peoria AZ

Leave a reply

The only sign with the Tacos Calafia name of the restaurant is on the back of the restaurant. Tacos Calafia is a casual restaurant that serves what they call street size tacos of five varieties, quesadillas, mulitas, vampiros, burritos and taco nachos.

According to The Arizona Republic they say that Phoenix Magazine awarded Tacos Calafia as the BEST tacos in Phoenix. The Phoenix New Times wrote that it is worth driving from all corners of the valley to taste Tacos Calafia Tacos. On The Phoenix New Times this restaurant is mentioned often as a BEST so since I’m a foodie I wanted to try it for myself. I am very picky about tacos. Most I taste are not my favorite. I’ve been to Mexico a number of times. I don’t claim to be an expert on tacos but I ate many tacos in the streets of Mexico. I thought most tacos that I tasted in Mexico were more delicious than the majority of tacos I try here in metro Phoenix. They were more developed with flavors. Most tasted very slow cooked. They all had a special freshness to them as well. That is why (not all) but most tacos here are not as good and I’ve also tried tacos from many taco festivals. Well I’m giving Tacos Calafia a try today.

I see they have a patio so I will eat outside today.

Here’s the menu.

According to the Phoenix New Times Tacos Calafia was a BEST NEW Restaurant in 2017. Also according to Eater Tacos Calafia is one of the 11 Hottest restaurants in Phoenix.

It’s very casual inside. You order at the counter, pay and pick up at the window. Then you make a trip to the taco bar and load your tacos up.

Here’s the taco bar.

We wore gloves to use the taco bar.

Our tacos came out like this. They are generously stuffed with meat.

pastor, cabeza, cabeza on corn tortillas
chicken on corn tortillas and carne asada on flour tortillas

Then I made them look nicer with the taco bar and we tried a variety of salsas.

The first taco I try is the grilled chicken.

I add lime to all the tacos. The green and red salsas are a very thin consistency ……almost like water. The green salsa has a nicer flavor than the red so I try a little of that and a little bit of guacamole cream on the chicken taco. …………It’s ok and not bad. The tortilla is not as flavorful as others I’ve tried. The chicken is very average. It’s not bad because it is tender but it doesn’t have a lot of flavor or char taste to it. It taste like plain grilled chicken.

Next I try the carne asada. The meat is tender but also lacks any flavor and even a char taste. I use a small amount of the spicy smoky thick sauce on this one to give it some flavor. Flour tortilla is average. Don’t take what I say the wrong way…..This is not bad taco…I’ve had much worst……..but it’s not up there for me.

My husband eats one more tacos than me and tries the pastor. He said it was different but I couldn’t get him to explain to me why it’s different. he said it was ok….he thought good but he said it was like the asada…not so flavorful.

The last taco I try was the cabeza (pulled beef cheek) This one is much different from all the other tacos. This taco is very good. …..(finally)….The meat is infused with a good slow cooked beefy flavor. I’m not a beef person but this is the best and most flavorful of the tacos that I tried today. My husband agrees with me.

Well that is how the tacos from Tacos Calafia were today. I imagine that it is possible that when the Phoenix New Times, Phoenix Magazine and Eater were here they made some of the tacos different. Did they changed their recipes since???????….. Or maybe it’s just someone different cooking today?

That was my trip to Tacos Calafia in Peoria.

Take Out Food In Metro Phoenix AZ During The CoronaVirus Pandemic Week 33 – Alzohour Market, Fabio On Fire

Leave a reply

Experts say that take out food and delivery are less risky options during the pandemic. So take out is a logical choice but we also do consider out door patio dining.

Our first take out of the week was from Alzohour Market in Glendale. They are offer Moroccan, Middle Eastern Foods, baked goods, a small amount of grocery and Islamic Clothing. The food is always delicious and if you can you must try the hot tea. Today we took out the cod tangine and a chicken dish. We asked for chicken couscous but we got rice instead. She gave us LOTS of rice…way more than a person can eat. It was still delicious.

The entrees came with fresh salads. The Cod tangine is always delicious. It’s made with red peppers, tomatoes, onions and lemons in a warm seasoned tomato based sauce. The cod is nice and light but is a generous portion. The chicken is also delicious, lots of olives, very tender and falling off the bones. Today it came with potatoes that soaked up all the delicious Mediterranean and chicken flavors. These meals came with an ultra generous portions of colorful fluffy rice. the dogs sure enjoyed sharing some of the fish and chicken.

We also did take out from Fabio On Fire in North Peoria #UpperWestSide. This is an Italian Restaurant that offers Italian Foods such as Neapolitan Pizzas, Pastas, Great baked goods, Specials that may include fresh seafood and the BEST GELATO maybe in the world.

We went with two of the specials halibut Mediterranean, polenta with Italian sausage and peppers and that amazing strawberry gelato. I didn’t try the sausage and polenta but I can tell you that the halibut was delicious and prepared to perfection. The vegetables were also nice and fresh and included rainbow carrots. Fabios bread is also excellent. It was nice to enjoy a piece with dinner. The next day we enjoyed more of the amazing bread with breakfast. We also had a small taste of that amazing strawberry gelato. I’m lucky to have the rest in my freezer. My dogs got to also enjoy some sausage and halibut.

That was Week 33 of Take Out during the coronavirus pandemic in Metro Phoenix AZ.
