Pizzeria Bianco @ 623 East Adams Street, Phoenix

I love a wood fired oven Pizza; it's classic but overlooked cooking method that makes such a difference; from the roasted, smokey toppings to the carbon black, speckled, crunchy carb bottom, it's an all-in-one (every major food group: carbs and yum) gift from heaven.

Pizzeria Bianco is nationally recognized as one of the best Pizzerias in the U.S. and having passed by on numerous occasions, the wait time can be as long as three hours!  Thank god it was relatively bearable outside and there's no denying that the surroundings are quaint, just remember to eat right before you arrive...you'll be hungry by the time you're seated.

VIncent's Market Bistro @ 3930 E Camelback Rd, Phoenix

We like to go our of our way to try and find F&B venues of all
types; from the down and dirty, the hip and trendy, the cosy and quaint to the greasy and Pepto Bismally......

But I'm always intrigued to arrive in a new town and see where the locals like to eat.. now usually, that usually means a take out burger joint or a greasy spoon.  But in the case of the vast urban Phoenix sprawl with its inorganic population growth, (basically it's three major cities shoved into one) you've got an ever evolving diaspora of generational clusters with it's own microcosm of habitual norms...

The easiest way to observe the human condition is in it's eating habits; we had the pleasure of staying in the Scottsdale area this time, where an intimate little outpost of a Bistro bustles like a hive, hidden away from it's older, larger sibling, Vincent's on Camelback.
