Food & Drink
Food and drinks in Arizona including best restaurants.
Best Private Chefs
Between working full-time jobs, tending to our family and friends and designating time for self-care, it can be tricky finding enough time in the day to still be able to deliver well-balanced meals too. Fortunately, for many Arizonans, the state boasts a number of high-profile and critically-acclaimed private chefs who can deliver the decadence and allure of a restaurant-quality meal, all within the comforts of their home. Here are a few of the best private chefs in Arizona.
Restaurant of the Week: Reserve
Quite simply put, Reserve in Old Town Scottsdale is Cafe Monarch on steroids. Whereas Monarch offers a four-course prix fixe menu, Reserve serves up a staggering twelve-course culinary adventure.
Restaurant of the Week: Cold Beers & Pizza
Cold Beers & Pizza, a spinoff of its popular sister restaurant Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, opened its doors in Scottsdale in December. The casual spot brings Old Town the perfect neighborhood pizza joint and local hangout.

Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day in Phoenix
May 9 is Mother’s Day, and though it is impossible to thank mamas for all they do on a daily basis, lobster avocado toast and Bloody Marys are a good start. Celebrate the moms in your life with a special brunch, festive dinner or a gourmet gift from a beloved Arizona purveyor.
Spring Menu at Z’Tejas Southwestern Grill
To celebrate spring, Executive Chef Diego Bolanos at Z’Tejas Southwestern Grill has created a menu that features the season’s delicious bounty. Asparagus, fresh fennel, ripe raspberries and thyme are few of the seasonal ingredients highlighted in the new menu.
Restaurant of the Week: Lincoln Steakhouse

Diners can look forward to a modern American steakhouse experience with a front-row view of Camelback Mountain and two of the Valley’s most glorious meal bookends: popovers and that famous cheesecake.
