“I’m shacked up with a Texan, and the beef-loving stereotype is true. He loves it all, from Japanese A5 ribeye at Bourbon Steak to chicken-fried steak with fried okra at TEXAZ Grill. Closer to our North Phoenix home, he loves the jerk chicken at Topnotch Island Flavor Kitchen and rad na at Taste of Thai.”

— Mirelle Inglefield, art director
