First Taste at The Collins Small Batch Kitchen in Phoenix AZ was Worth a Fork!

The Collins Small Batch Kitchen is an American/New American and Research and Development Playground Restaurant by Chef Christopher Collins located in the Biltmore Section of Phoenix. The website states that this restaurant was created to reflect the people that live in this neighborhood. TCSBK offers a daily menu, a weekly rotating menu, a weekend brunch menu and more.

The restaurant atmosphere is for the most part Traditional American with some modern accents and Arizonian motifs. They offer various seating options that include a large bar area, traditional tables, booths and a small high top table patio. The dining areas are bright from natural light that comes in during the day.

Depending on where you are seated you might have a view of the kitchen action. The kitchen is really open…….If you happen to go in to wash your hands you will be walking into the end of the open kitchen.

We decided to start with an appetizer and tried the Pecan Wood Fired Artichokes with Parmigiano Reggiano Citrus Aioli.

Gosh they are a lot of work but the flavors are perfect and delicious. I like that this dish isn’t heavy at all. Really scrumptious dressing.

For my main I tried the Twisted Noodle Salad. It comes in choices of shrimp or steak.

It’s piled high you need to see it this way.

OMG it’s a BIG Pile of FORKING DELICIOUSNESS! It’s bright, a bit sour, sweet, spicy, flavorful, crunchy, chewy, delicious…….It’s very unique!

The salad is made of buckwheat soba noodles, kale, avocado, really nicely gently pickled cucumber, arugula, scallions, herbs, toasted coconut, roasted peanuts, carrots, chili-lime vinaigrette, steak and other secret ingredients that make this UNBELIEVABLY FORKING SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!! I can taste some Asian Flavors with some heat. This salad has a kick that doesn’t hurt. I’m not much of a beef person but even this beef is really delicious and tender in this salad. All the flavors are magic together.

My husband went with the King’s Burger.

We need to see this again.

The King’s Burger is fit for a king.

It’s a house ground blend of beef with Abby Farms Danish Bleu, applewood bacon, Collins Slaw, red onion, pommery mustard on a local Noble Brioche Bun and Mac ‘N’ Cheese as his side.

WOW! impressed with the burger! My husband said it was among the best he has tried in Metro Phoenix. It was prepared a perfect Medium Rare that he requested too! He also liked that the bacon didn’t have all the juice cooked out of it and was still moist the way he likes it. He usually doesn’t enjoy Blue Cheese on a burger but it becomes magically delicious when its paired with the pommery mustard. Even the slaw is delicious and the soft rich roll goes perfect with this burger.

I love the desserts I’ve tried from the other Collin Restaurants but my salad was very delicious and also substantial so unfortunately I ate too much of it so I didn’t have room for dessert today…. 🙁 ……but if I had more room I would have went for the blackberry cobbler a la mode today.

The food wasn’t just well executed and delicious it exceeded my expectations!

Yes! The Collins Small Batch Kitchen was Worth a Fork!

Sala Thai Restaurant Peoria AZ – Worth a Fork!

Leave a reply

Sala Thai Restaurant is a family owned Thai Restaurant with two locations…one in Phoenix and one in Peoria. A same namesake restaurant is located in Glendale but isn’t connected on the websites. The Peoria location is comfortable cozy and small with around twelve tables inside and two tables on the patio. There are several TV’s up on the wall and some decorate Asian Artifacts embellish the restaurant.

They serve most of the usual Thai Dishes that you expect like the basil stir fries and the curries but they also serve a few dishes that you don’t find at every Thai Restaurant like the Spicy Lemon Salad………

and the Grilled Thai Sausage.

What makes Sala Thai in Peoria stand out from other near by Thai Restaurants is that they actually use Thai Basil and infuse that flavor in the Stir Fry Dishes and it makes a big difference in the taste of the dishes.

I’ve had green curry and pumpkin curry this year here but I can’t find those photos. But my favorite dish that Sala Thai serves is the Spicy Basil with Pumpkin shown below.

This is really delicious! It’s full of different textures and flavors. Sweet Chestnut-tee creamy pumpkin that’s cooked just so, tender crisp sweet onions and bell peppers with a good amount of basil and those Thai Flavors that get all around the hand chopped chicken ….It’s just right heat, sweet and savory.

I do prefer Sala Thai’s Basil Type dishes over a few of their other dishes. The basil dishes are much more flavorful and delicious! Sala Thai makes the best Basil type dishes that I know of in this area.

Sala Thai is Worth a Fork!

Some dishes are better than other dishes. I recommend Spicy Basil, Spicy Eggplant, Spicy Egg Bomb, Lemon Salad, Pumpkin Curry, Grilled Sausage and the Spicy Pumpkin Basil.

First Taste at Urban Margarita in Glendale AZ – Worth a Fork!

Leave a reply

Urban Margarita is an American Restaurant that swings slightly to New Mexico Fusion Cuisine. This restaurant is located in a strip mall in the Arrowhead Section of North Glendale and is also known as The Upper West Side. Recently Urban Margarita was listed in the Phoenix New Times as among the 10 Best Restaurants for New Mexico Cuisine in Metro Phoenix so I had to give them a try!

Urban Margarita offers a very comfortable patio with an indoor outdoor bar and a fireplace.

I decided to try the Stuffed Poblano Pepper. (but with the queso on the side)

I received not one but two roasted poblano peppers stuffed with shredded nicely seasoned, a little spicy, tender chicken enhanced with tomato and onion. The flavors are good I think most people would enjoy these peppers. The corn are fresh and crisp. Most of the seasoning is in one spot and when you mix it into the corn it turns south west flavors of warm and earthy and spiked with chili peppers. The rice taste like it just made…It taste buttery and and lets all the other flavors shine. Fresh made cheese sauce is a nice treat…I like that this dish isn’t swimming in rivers of cheese like most New Mexico Cuisine I’ve tried….This is approachable sensible New Mexico Style Plate.

My husband tries the Slow Braised Pork Short Rib in Hatch Chile Verde.

It was tender and delicious and came with rice, black beans and flour tortillas.

I thought I had room for dessert so we gave the Bananas Foster Ice Cream Tortas a try!

OMG! This was delicious!

It’s also twice are large as I thought it would be……

It’s like a doughnut stuffed with ice-cream that’s dressed with with this delicious, not too sweet bananas sautéed in anejo rum, butter, brown sugar and sprinkled with walnuts…. You get a mix of the warm sauce, warm doughnut….a little savory against the sweet creamy ice cream and delicious bananas. This was really great!

I’d say my first taste at Urban Margarita was Worth a Fork!

My Trip to Mariscos Culiacan in Glendale AZ

Leave a reply

Mariscos Culiacan is a casual Mexican Seafood Restaurant located in an older strip mall in Glendale AZ. This isn’t a fancy place. Culiacan is a city in northwest Mexico in the state of Sinaloa so the food served sounds like Sinaloa Style. They serve appetizers, soups, fish platters, tacos, burritos, fajitas, Mexican beverages and they also do offer a children’s menu. Today’s selection of seafood included many dishes mostly with shrimp, octopus and tilapia.

As soon as we were seated a large basket of chips, blended salsa, and cups of hot (temperature) fish soup arrives.

The fish soup taste fresh made. Taste like bayleaves, oregano, garlic and cumin but very delicate and balanced…just enough to enhance the fish stock.

My first choice the whole snapper wasn’t available today so I went with the Veracruzana Style Tilapia. ($13.99)

Veracruzana Style Tilapia comes with tortillas not pictured

I received a fresh tasting mild flaky fish that tasted like it was fried, seasoned in butter and was crispy on one side. I don’t think I had fish fried in butter in a long time and this seemed very tasty to me. My fish was topped with bell peppers, onions, carrots and the tiniest olives I’ve ever seen in my life(they looked like capers). The sauce seemed to be made with a mild chili. My plate also included salad garnish, mixed vegetable studded white rice, refried beans and steamy hot fresh tasting tortillas.

My husband tried the Marinero Relleno. ($16.99)

It was a big pocket of tin foil that contained a lot of mixed seafood in a tomato based sauce with bell peppers, onions and melty white cheese. At the bottom of the foil was a filet of tilapia as big as my meal. Other seafood in the dish were shrimp and octopus. The shrimp and tilapia were cooked nicely but the octopus was on the chewy side. On the side was vegetable studded white rice, refried beans, salad garnish and hot steamy tortillas.

That was my trip to Mariscos Culiacan in Glendale.

I haven’t found a website for them but I did notice that they are on Facebook.

My First Taste at Bryan’s Black Mountain Barbecue in Cave Creek Arizona

Leave a reply

Bryan’s Black Mountain Barbecue is located in beautiful Cave Creek Arizona. This is a casual order at the counter…..unique Barbecue Restaurant with a Cowboy type decor.

They offer the usual smoked meats that you expect and vegetable offerings that you might NOT expect.

Fried Artichoke Po Boy with Smoked Tomato Remoulade, Smoked Apple Cider Butternut Squash Soup and Vegetarian Pulled Squash Sandwich……..Sound so yummy and different! Ah what to order….BBQ or interesting vegetables.

We ordered, got a table number, got our beverages and sat on the patio since the weather was perfect.

Soon our name is called so my husband goes in to pick up our order.

The Firebird with Olive Cole Slaw and Baked Potato Salad

The Firebird is a half Chicken that’s tender, moist and flavorful. It coated in a sticky spicy sweet sauce that isn’t too sweet or too hot…….but it is hot. The bird rest over sliced white bread and a sweet pickled jalapeño pepper. The chicken is delicious…..I like the olive slaw…It not too drippy and it isn’t too creamy…It’s just right with crisp fresh cabbage. The baked potato salad was spiked with sour cream and is very dill forward. These sides are above average for BBQ places.

Two Meat Platter with Pulled Pork, Brisket Chili and Cowboy Beans

I tried the Brisket. I really like the smoked pecan flavor…..but today’s brisket runs slightly dry and they gave us from the lean point side …..But hey I usually hit BBQ places when the brisket runs drier than normal from the flat side. We also were talked into the Cornbread. We were told that it is special because it’s made with Brisket Drippings.

I think the cornbread is best not with the butter but combined with the Chili that’s enhanced with Brisket. This works best for me….Combined they are both better this way. My husband said the Pulled Pork and Cowboy Beans were very good.

I took most of the Firebird platter home so I could save room for a House Made Ice cream Sandwich.

It’s served a little too frozen…but it’s tasty…….I bet it’s probably much better when it’s hot outside… A couple of days latter we had the leftovers. WOW the cornbread tasted completely different when I heated it up in the oven….It was so smoky and it tasted like BBQ meat……It didn’t taste anything like this before…you must get them to heat the cornbread for you. The Firebird Chicken was still moist and delicious after re-heating.

That was my First Taste at Bryan’s Black Mountain Barbecue.

My Trip to Phoenix Tacolandia 2019 – Worth a Fork! #TacolandiaPHX

Leave a reply

Tacolandia is an all-you-can-eat taco festival that took place Saturday January 26th from 1pm-5pm at Margaret T Hance Park in Down Town Phoenix. General Admission cost $20-$40. depending on where and when you purchased your tickets and VIP tickets cost between $40.-$55. also depending on where and when you purchased your tickets. The VIP this year seemed only slightly different than general admission. The VIPs got into the festival slightly sooner, got two free drinks and were able to vote for favorite taco.

WOO-HOO! this was an All-You-Can-Eat Taco event! Over 20 taco venders participated. There was some free entertainment and libations were available for sale.

This event was dog friendly and parking was free and also metered depending on how far you wanted to walk.

(Don’t tell my dogs that this was a dog friendly event)

The 2019 Tacolandia went similar to the 2018 Tacolandia. The event was held at the same place and the festival goers trickled in the same way. The first hour from 1pm-2pm it was easy breezy getting around anywhere you wanted to go. Either no lines or very short lines.

Then about by 2pm lines ran about 25-30 minutes.

By 2:30 I got tired of standing and was very thirsty. The line for lemonade ran 45 minutes.

Just like last year some tacos were better than other tacos. Some were made with MADE TO ORDER FRESH tortillas that were mighty delicious! The Forking Truth is that only one vender used an awful tortilla.

This was all I ate from this taco. Filling was tender but bland and on a hard tortilla that needed to be grilled.

Here are what we tried. Just like last year my husband tried more tacos than what I tried. The majority of the tacos offered were beef, followed by pork, a few chicken and I only found one fish taco. There were two vegetable tacos offered that I noticed. I wasn’t able to hit every vender but between the two of us we hit much of the offerings. One vendor had trouble and didn’t have power so I don’t know if they got to serve. Another vendor started serving tacos about an hour or so after opening.

Bulgogi Beef with Kimchi Bun from Bao Chow at the Yucca Tap Room (this one ran salty)

Gadzooks Chicken & Cornbread Stuffing Taco – One of the best tasting tacos that I tried.

El Tlacoyo – two different kinds of pork tacos

Ajo Al’s Brisket Taco – Taco shell was fresh made

La Olmeca – Beef Taco – before topping bar

Sylvia’s La Canasta – Fish Taco – only fish taco I found

Sylvia’s La Canasta – Vegetable Taco – VERY Cilantro forward and also spicy

Philly’s Sports Grill – Among the better tacos…a non-traditional Asian Fusion Beef Taco

Tortas Paquime – Among the better Tacos – Beef Tacos with House Made SPICY sauces

From The Lunch Box – Chicken Tostada and Beef

Some festival goers dressed for the occasion.

That was my Trip to Tacolandia 2019 – I’d say it was Worth a Fork!

Dining Out with DOGS in Metro Phoenix January 2019

Leave a reply

Dining out with dogs is just a “Fluff” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started when my dog Louie was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. He was given only a 3-6 month diagnosis. Louie enjoyed going out to eat so I thought I’d take him out to eat as often as I could. Instead of the 3-6 months Louie made it 17 months more. Today I take my current dogs out to eat.

Many restaurants in Metro Phoenix do have patios for outdoor dining but not all patios are dog friendly. It’s always a best bet to call a restaurant in advance and ask them if it’s ok to dine there with your dog(s). Even if a restaurant is certified “Dog Friendly” it is still best to call first because the patio might be booked for a party. It is suggested to dine with dogs at “Off Times” to avoid other diners might not like dining with dogs and might complain. Other diners can also be allergic to dogs and also will complain. It’s also better to dine at “OFF TIMES” to avoid others that are dining with dogs because they might start barking at each other and everyone will be asked to leave. For these and other reasons just FORKING dine at off times to avoid as many other people and other dogs and potential problems as possible.

There are some rules for dining out with dogs. Dogs are to be by your side at all times. Dogs are NOT to sit on restaurant furniture or to eat off restaurant plates.

It’s IMPORTANT to know that MOST food and drink that you consume is NOT recommended for dogs and can cause health problems or can indeed be TOXIC. Please get a list of foods and drink to avoid from your veterinarian. In general usually a small piece of lean un-sauced meat is safe and is usually recommended for dogs. You should bring a water dish for your dog so he or she can have water. It’s very important to know that dogs are not as heat tolerant as you. Over 90 degrees is too hot to dine out with dogs. Not all but most healthy younger dogs can tolerate up to 90 degrees F but only in FULL SHADE. Dogs are like people and have different heat tolerances. Hopefully you know your dog well enough to notice their individual heat tolerance. When in doubt leave your dog home.

January started out very cold for desert standards. We had to wait till the second week to dine out with dogs.

“We are on our way to Pita Kitchen in Glendale AZ”

Pita Kitchen is a fast/casual Mediterranean restaurant in the Arrowhead section of Glendale Arizona.

I got my usual, the Greek Salad topped with a Chicken Kabab. Now I’ll take a break here and turn The Forking Truth over to my dogs.

“There’s plenty of juicy, tasty chicken for sharing!” says the little one from under the table. “Ummm my mouth is watering!”

“Our other human got the two meat plate with gyro meat and chicken.” “More food there for us to try.”

“I FORKING love this chicken from Pita Kitchen!” “It’s so juicy, plump and tasty!” “I just love it!”

“Big Woman is right.” “That chicken is really good!” “Much better than a lot of Grilled Chicken Kababs in the area!”

“We always enjoy ourselves at Pita Kitchen!”

“We are gonna see food at Oscar’s Pier 83 in Glendale”

“Yum!” “I got CRABS!”……..”Soft Shell Crabs!”

“I can go for some salad with ahi tuna shaped like a Forking Stingray too!” “Look at that fish!” “It looks like it got wings!”

“mmm I’m starving”

“We also like the crispy romaine, eggs are good and we also like ahi tuna….we are glad the portion is large so we get to eat more!”

“We enjoyed ourselves at Oscar’s Pier 83!”

“We are on our way to Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in Phoenix”

“We love going to Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in Phoenix.” “The food is always fresh, delicious and always comes in large portions.”

“Both of our human companions got rice plates.” “We love the meat on the rice plates!” “It’s always so juicy, flavorful and abundant!

Grilled Chicken Rice Plate minus the egg roll already

“The food is always delicious at Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery.” “We love coming here!”

Sadly Salad and Go is no longer an option

“Sadly Salad and Go is no longer a Dining Out With Dogs Option”. “Our location removed all the tables and the walk up window is now a Kiosk.” “We have a long list of happy memories there and really enjoyed the fresh healthy low priced fast quality salads.” “We still love the salads from Salad and Go but we can’t enjoy them there anymore.”

“Natural Organic Chicken…Not too Shabby” from Salad and Go

“Me and my old man Louie used to love our salads here!”

“We Forking miss you Salad and Go ……all that tasty food and dog biscuits too!”

“That was Dining Out With Dogs in Metro Phoenix for January 2019.”

“We hope you enjoyed and we hope to see you next month.”

The BEST UNDER $10.00 Plate I’ve Found in North Phoenix is from Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery – Worth A Fork!

Leave a reply

Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery is located in North Phoenix. This is a casual Pho-Free Vietnamese Eatery. I know that most of the food they serve is FORKING SCRUMPTIOUS because between me and my husband were tried most of the menu items….Some of my personal favorites that I enjoy from Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery are the delicious Banh Mi Baguette Sandwiches, Chef’s Special Curry Chicken, Lotus Root Salad, Pot Stickers and of course The Rice Plate (Co’m Dia). Oh and did I mention that everything (as of January 2019…subject to change) is less that $10.00 each?

The Rice Plate (Co’m Dia) is what is known as a combination plate. That is made of a generous portion of white rice, pork egg roll, salad garnish with house vinaigrette and choice of protein. The protein choices are Grilled Pork, Grilled Pork Chop, Grilled Chicken, Grilled Shrimp, Shaken Beef or Tofu and Vegetable. There are condiments of fish sauce for dipping and a spicy chili paste for zipping some things up. I can vouch that the chicken, beef and grilled pork are tender like butter and developed with really delicious flavors. It’s like magically delicious. The chicken has a tasty char on it and is developed with yumminess. The chicken is slightly sweet and fragrant with Asian seasonings. The portion is really large and double of what I eat so this is two meals for me. I didn’t weigh the meat here but it seemed like about 8 ounces. I have no idea where you can get a better or tastier deal for only $9.00.

Other things we had at Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery are pictured below. I really enjoy the Banh Mi baguette more than a hoagie type roll. It made of a combination of wheat and rice flour that makes it seem much lighter than a hoagie roll. The roll here has a crispy exterior and a soft interior. The sandwiches are made with pickled carrot and radish, slices of jalapeño and fresh cilantro and house made aioli. Some varieties of the Banh Mi also include house made pate.

Choice of Rice or Baguette with the Curry Chicken

We love going to Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in North Phoenix. The Food is always fresh and delicious! Portions are very large and prices are very low.

The Rice Plate from Banh Mi Bistro is the BEST under $10.00 Plate that I tried in North Phoenix!

(P.S. Tables are no longer outside but there is a folding table inside for guest that request it.)

Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery is Worth a Fork!

If you were a fan of The Grassroots Kitchen then you will be a fan of The Macintosh in Phoenix AZ

Leave a reply

The Grass Roots Kitchen and Tap opened around December 2014 but sometime in October of 2018 in the Town and Country Shopping Center in Phoenix. This location of The Grassroots Kitchen Bar and Tap got renamed The Macintosh. The Chef and owner is still the same Chef Christopher Collins. The menu offerings are very similar. They offer weekend brunch, sharing plates, salads, sandwiches, entrees. Some plates have a southern comfort slant like Shrimp and Grits, Barbecued Beef Ribs and Po Boy Sandwiches. The Macintosh also offers Beers, Whiskeys, Cocktails, Wine on Tap and very well made Pies. The decor looks pretty much the same. Casual American.

Today I picked the Salmon and Orzo Salad.

The salmon is moist and flakes nice. I like that the skin and bloodline were removed. The salmon is a good meaty portion with nice grill marks. The salad is made of orzo, arugula, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, apples and pickled onions. It’s filling and tasty…I normally don’t care for buttermilk dressings but this buttermilk pesto dressing is delicious.

It looks similar to a Salmon and Salad plate I had last time from The Grassroots.

Today my husband had the Southern Shrimp and Grits.

The shrimp were cooked nicely. Grits are creamy and tasty. All the food from The Macintosh or when they were called The Grass Roots was Delicious! No Complaints here!

Below are some of the plates we enjoyed before the name change. I’ve also been here for a more formal dinner but I couldn’t find those pictures….. I didn’t have room for dessert today but be sure to view the pies because they are among the best in Metro Phoenix.

Brisket Sandwich with Jalapeño Cheese Grits

Blackened Fish(Ono) of the day Sandwich with Tri Cauliflower Salad

Shrimp Po Boy with Jalapeño Cheese Grits

Maui Maui Fish of the Day Sandwich with Green Bean Salad

The Key Lime Pie is extra special. They hand squeeze FOURTY key limes into each pie. I think this Key Lime Pie is the best Key Lime Pie I’ve ever tasted.

If you were a fan of Grassroots Kitchen then you will be a fan of the Macintosh in Phoenix.

I’d say the Macintosh is Worth a Fork!

Manna BBQ in Peoria Arizona at P83 is Worth a Fork! (slight update…….Dec 2019…..now offers Shabu too!)

Leave a reply

Manna BBQ is a California based Korean all you can eat BBQ restaurant located in Peoria Arizona in P83 across from the Peoria Sports Complex (with another location in Mesa AZ) . They offer the extra $21.99 menu of about 15 choices or the $28.99 menu of around 21 that include some more expensive meats such as ribeye and shrimp. Either menu buys you up to two hours of eating and you must finish the meats or they will charge you extra full entrée pricing for wasting……so don’t order more than you can eat. They offer seating at the bar and also booths with gas burners to cook the food.

On our arrival banchan (side dishes) were waiting for us already on the table.

The banchan were from top left mashed potatoes that might have been eggy, were sweet and also cold, bean sprouts, fish cakes, kimchi, Asian pickles and thin radish for wrapping around meat.

We started off with thinly sliced marinated beef called Beef Bulgogi, mushrooms, zuchinni, rice and glass noodles.

Just a few minutes later….

Gosh the beef was delicious! Tender like butter and nicely flavorful. Next we try a combo of chicken bulgogi and spicy chicken.

WOW! The chicken is also very tender and tasty. The spicy isn’t too spicy…but tasty. The Beef Bulgogi and both chicken dishes came out very good for us.

Next we tried brisket and beef belly.

Neither of these meats are marinated. I don’t know if we didn’t cook the brisket correctly but I really didn’t like the brisket (bottom meat in picture). I wasn’t too found of the beef belly either although it was slightly better than the brisket. Neither meat here had a whole lot of flavor. You had to use the dipping sauce for these meats to eat them.

My husband decided that he could eat a little more so he asked if he could have a small amount of pork belly to try.

He said the pork belly was very good. He forgot they offer a spicy version and would have went with spicy if he remembered.

Each table has a call button incase you need something but service was very good. I didn’t have to ask for a thing.

I’ve been to a few different Korean BBQ Restaurants in Metro Phoenix and they all have something different to offer…We only paid 21.99 for all you can eat. More upscale Korean BBQ will set you back at least $32.00- over $100.00 a person without being all you can eat.

For Mana BBQ’s friendly price point I’d have to say it’s a good value and Worth a Fork but be sure to try the Beef Bulgogi, Chicken dishes and Pork Belly.

Bulgogi is delicious, Chicken dishes, Pork Belly were all delicious……both of us weren’t crazy about the brisket and beef belly

I haven’t found a website for the Peoria location of Mana BBQ but they are on Facebook.
