Since then, they’ve been serving the Phoenix area their classic and modern takes on the iconic bánh mì sandwich (awarded Best Banh Mi by Phoenix Magazine), as well as other staple Vietnamese dishes and specialty drinks. In keeping with tradition, all meats — including our homemade liver pâté and BBQ pork — are cured and marinated in-house. Everything is prepared fresh with natural ingredients & vegetables, and our bread is locally-baked and delivered daily! Using family recipes but with a fresh culinary take, Banh Mi Bistro is committed to serving authentic Vietnamese food that’s fast, fresh, and full of flavor — all at a reasonable price! [read more]

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

It’s pretty simple, actually. The Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen in Goodyear, Arizona is all about good food, made well, for a good price. How do we pull that off? By cooking from scratch.

That means large plates full of Santa Fe Spinach Dip or Cheddar's Cheese Fries after a day at the Wildlife World Zoo. It means huge Painkiller cocktails (the limit is 2 per person for a reason!) to celebrate the end of a long work week. It's warm, made-in-house Honey Butter Croissants and hand-breaded Chicken Tenders piled high that are perfect for sharing (or not! We won't judge!) If you want to get a lot, for not a lot - give us a shot! We are located on West McDowell Road. And we will show you what you've been missing. [read more]

Glendale Lou Malnati's

Family-owned local chain for Italian classics & Chicago-style, deep-dish pizzas with butter crusts.

He took his pizza expertise to Lincolnwood, a northern suburb of Chicago, where he and his wife Jean opened the first Lou Malnati's Pizzeria on March 17, 1971. Lou was known for his fun-loving character as well as making Chicago's best pizza. Loyal patrons lined the streets on opening day for a taste of his delicious deep dish creations. Lou always thought it was funny that an Italian should open a pizzeria in a Jewish neighborhood on an Irish holiday. But that was Lou's style; he loved all types of people and didn't care much about what people thought. [read more]
