"Dinner at Sanctuary Resort on Camelback Mountain – if I could only ever eat one thing again in my whole life, it would be the fiery calamari that I had at this restaurant. It was crispy and spicy, loaded with pepperoncini and Thai basil and just the right amount of miso sauce. HOLY MOLY – there were stars. Let me just say this – the meal we had at Sanctuary probably makes it into my Top 5 Meals of All Time list."

Yes, they took birthday cake THEN battered and fried it into a doughnut!"

"Browned butter is a cookie game-changer — and one bite of this browned-butter beauty at sweetDee's Bakeshop in Old Town Scottsdale proves it. Not only does it infuse every bite in deep, nutty, miraculous flavor, it creates crispy-edged, chewy-centered perfection. And then you add chocolate to the mix, 65 percent Swiss chocolate to be exact, and your mouth can barely contain the bliss."

"Two of Maverick Coffee’s owners are Olympic-caliber athletes — and the shop's baristas' execution is every bit as disciplined, yet artful, as you might expect.
