I've been tagged by Sally to do this restaurant meme.
Here are the rules:
*Link to the name of the person that tagged you
*Include state and country you live in
*List top 5 favorite local restaurants
*Tag 5 other people and let them know they've been tagged
Here are my picks for our little corner of Arizona:
1. Grimaldi's. Yum, yum, yum! Small family-owned place with TVs in the corners. Steven discovered it before Noah and I arrived; he likes the sandwiches with Boar's Head meats. Heather introduced us to the Greek pizza, which is now one of my all-time favorite foods. They even deliver to my house! (Not just my house. Other people's houses, too.)
2. Abacus Inn. Right next door to Grimaldi's! I've only visited it once, but am definitely looking forward to repeat visits. Their won ton soup is much heartier than most; in addition to the won tons, there is shrimp, beef, and veggies in the broth. Mmmm. Their kung pao chicken is atypical, and I wasn't a big fan (that's usually my favorite dish), but shrimp lo mein was scrumptious, and they have good egg rolls.
3. Elephant Bar. Okay, this is a chain restaurant, but it's good! Steven doesn't like it as much as I do, but they have a really yummy chicken dish - Shanghai Chicken?? that I just love.
4. In-n-Out Burger. Another chain, as Sally mentioned, but it's impossible to make a list of best places to eat without mentioning our beloved In-n-Out Burger. The fries are freshly made, the shakes are perfect, the burgers delish. Simply the best.
5. Papa's Perks. This award is given posthumously, as our favorite little family-owned coffee shop is now closed. We will miss the friendly service, the excellent lattes, freshly baked pastries (apple scones!!), and the free Wi-fi. Sigh. Cabin Coffee is good, but it's just not the same. For a frozen coffee beverage, I recommend The Coffee Bean.
Now I'm hungry.

Thanks for playing along!! I love Grimaldi's too...I haven't eaten there in a long while. I have ordered from Abacus a few times when people from work are making a run. I love Cabin Coffee, mainly because they are right next door to Scrap Happy Sisters and I can drink coffee and shop for scrapbooking supplies at the same time. That and one of my students older brother works there and gave me his employee discount once...sometimes it pays to shop in the area where you teach!!
Paradise Bakery is another favorite that I forgot to mention in my post. I eat out too much!!
You know, we live two minutes from Paradise Bakery, and I've never been to it. I guess I'll have to check it out sometime.
My favorite thing at Cabin Coffee is the Mexican Mocha latte. Mmmm. Chocolatey and cinnamony and coffee-y. Mmmm.
I think Grimaldi's is GREAT!
Noah Fett Out.
