House made charcuterie, TBOX breads, select cheese, other goodies. $16
Tinderbox Kitchen, Flagstaff AZ
This charcuterie board was delicious! I loved all the meats and the smoked duck breast was probably my favorite. Noms!
Churchill Manhattan: Bulleit rye whiskey, sweet and dry vermouth, blood orange bitters, lemon twist.
Hummingbird: champagne, elderflower liqueur, lemon, soda.
With spicy corn relish, pineapple criolla and fresh made chips. $13
Mariposa, Sedona AZ
The menu description was misleading. “Guacamole trio” sounds like it’s supposed to be three kinds of guacamole, am I right? Anyway, this was till very tasty, but I wish that the tortilla chips weren’t so greasy.
Rose de malbec, 2014 Crios, Argentina. $8
Fresh avocado, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing and mayo on a multi-grain bun. $6.29
Smashburger, Glendale AZ
I love that this burger is pretending to be kinda healthy with the avocado and multi-grain bun, but then they throw in bacon, ranch dressing and mayo! Lol. Anyway, it tasted great.
Manchego, cambozola, and Irish cheddar, served with fresh seasonal fruit. $16
Rene at Tlaquepaque, Sedona AZ
I wasn’t really impressed by the cheese on this plate, but I did like all the different fruit! This was probably the most fruit I’ve ever seen on a cheese plate.
Baguette and butter. Complimentary
Happy hour $5
The Grille at Shadowrock, Sedona AZ
The salsa was pretty good, but the chips were on the stale side. The happy hour prices were nice though especially for the margarita.
Margarita. Happy hour $5
Angus sirloin stir fry, roma tomatoes, soy-balsamic reduction, French fries. $22
Destino, San Francisco CA
Um, I didn’t really like this. It taste fine, but the beef was really salty and kinda tough. I don’t think that both rice and French fries was needed as sides.
Tofu fried balls with shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, roasted flaxseeds, topped with Kokio soy garlic sauce, veggie mayo, and parsley. Combo $12.75
Kokio Republic, San Francisco CA
I liked these balls, lol! They had a soft center and they were packed with flavor. Two balls didn’t seem like much, but they were surprisingly filling.
Habanero cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion, chipotle mayo and fresh jalapeños on a spicy chipotle bun. $6.29
Smashfries tossed in Italian olive oil, rosemary and garlic. $1.99
Smashburger, Glendale AZ
This burger was pretty good. It was flavorful and the fresh jalapeños gave it a little kick. The fries were really great. I loved that they were cut really thin and they weren’t greasy either.
Old Overheat rye, amaro, lime, blood orange bitters. $12
Pisco Latin Lounge, San Francisco CA
This cocktail was delicious. I loved the rich flavor and it was neatly made. The foam top added a nice texture too.
All natural ground bison patty, truffle aioli, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, gem lettuce, tomato on an artisan white bun. $6.95
House-made pulled pork, barbeque sauce, caramelized onions & cole slaw on an artisan white bun. $5.25
Sliderbar, San Francisco CA
I liked the truffle bison slider. The truffle aioli was delicious, but the bison patty could have been more moist. I think it was a bit overcooked. The pulled pork was good but I wish it was had more sauce.
Cream-corn casserole, ground sirloin, shredded chicken, sun-dried black olives. $11
Destino, San Francisco CA
This was pretty interesting. I really didn’t know what to expect when I ordered it, but it tasted pretty good. I love casseroles anyway so it was great to try a Peruvian version.
Topped with sesame seeds, almond, and parsley. Combo $12.75
Kokio Republic, San Francisco CA
These chicken pieces from Kokio are great. I’m not as excited about their soy garlic flavor because it was a bit too salty. The chicken was nicely prepared though and super moist.
