“Dark-matter duck confit, or whatever mad-science treats Kevin Binkley has up his sleeve at the new Binkley’s Midtown. So exciting. It’s like a new ‘Star Wars’ movie is coming out.”

“I am beside myself with glee that Obon Sushi Bar Ramen is coming to Scottsdale Quarter. I love ramen and can’t wait to have some (plus craft cocktails!) within walking distance of our office. Lunch will be much more fun.”

“Sure, Paleo can be pretentious, but I always get a bit obsessed with my diet (and pants size) come January 1. So I’m excited to embrace my inner cavewoman and try all the wild-caught/grain free goodies at the new Blooming Beets Kitchen.”

“I am stoked about the second location of The Mission opening within walking distance of my house. My favorite dishes are the hearty guacamole to start (made table-side and fun to watch!), the savory roasted organic butternut squash tacos for the main course and the spicy espresso churros for a grand finale.”

Flower Child. I am not big on ordering salad when I got out to eat because when I do treat myself, I like to enjoy a burger or pizza. But the Mediterranean Diet salad changed my life and perspective on a delicious salad! I am happy to start off the new year with a healthy lifestyle.”
