We were in Phoenix, staying in Scottsdale last summer. The steak place at the Camelback resort was very good. Fantastic wine and a great staff. We also had good sushi in Tempe at a place called Ra. I believe there is one in Scottsdale too. then we had some bad Mexican and I was so bummed. Have a good time.

Anything but fancy, but the tortillas are to die for, take some back to your room, stop and get a stick of butter! You will want to take a dozen home. I like the machaca's

My very favorite! Quiessence is incredible fine evening dining, the other two restaurants are also very good, and they grow a lot of their produce on-site, part of the slow food movement, very local producers. The daily menu is set only after they know what the local markets have to offer.

Best hot dog West of New York

Exotic Mushroom Pan Fry, mucho mushrooms (including cremini, button, oyster, cepe, lobster, black trumpet, shiitake, morel, yellow foot) in ancho cream over double-cooked polenta, topped with grilled portabellini, avocado, tomato and cotija cheese ... this dish is out of this world. This is right in downtown Scottsdale.

There is an Oriental restaurant next door that has a incredible chef, James Beard award winner... the name escapes me.

Ranch Market (#3) is a must do, they have good casual on-site dining in the store as well as finer dining attached but just outside to the left side of the one close to the airport.

I really liked Elmers tacos in Chandler, you will be pleased. One of my favorite stops.

I'm probably going to be in Phoenix in Feb...I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! :P
