Food energizes, replenishes, and revitalizes the mind, body, and soul.
Description: Founded over 20 years ago by a family of ex-New Yorkers, Chompie's has a reputation for satisfying the most discriminating bagel connoisseurs in the Valley. In fact, there are over 35 varieties of bagels and bialys available, all baked fresh throughout the day. The quality doesn't stop with breakfast. Chompie's guarantees that every single item on the menu is homemade, including the wide array of beautiful deserts at the pastry counter. Culinary temptations include Skyscraper Sandwiches, towering meals prepared with three slices of bread and requiring at least two hands; the popular Chicken Chompadilla, a second-cousin to the quesadilla; burgers, seafood and various hot entrees. Pita Jungle 1949 W Ray Rd, Suite 28 Chandler, AZ 85224 480-855-3232 Description: Break out your Birkenstocks and get ready for some serious people-watching at this popular healthy food Mecca. Colorful ambiance and a fun, youthful atmosphere attract everyone from starving students to health conscious professionals for vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic and carnivorous delicacies. With locations in Tempe and Chandler, the only significant difference (other than a proximity to ASU) you'll find is the wood-fired oven in Tempe and some additional meat and seafood selections in Chandler. Avanti Restaurant 2728 E Thomas Rd Phoenix, AZ 85016 602-956-0900 Description: After almost three decades of the familiar black and chrome, art-deco elegance that became its trademark, Avanti underwent a facelift and almost gave its loyal patrons a heart attack. But the flowering red swatches and other changes were only cosmetic. The kitchen still provides the same award-winning fine dining experience that has been drawing locals and businesspeople since the mid-'70s. The waiters still wear tuxedos and the atmosphere remains intimate. Ajo Al's 7458 W Bell Rd Glendale, AZ 85308 623-334-9899 Description: For those who crave Mexican food in an upscale environment, Ajo Al's fits the bill with its trendy southwest decor of polished saltillo tile, bronze walls and wrought iron wall hangings. And it's nearly impossible to ignore the happening salsa sounds piped into the bar and dining room. The chic Camelback corridor crowd can be seen sipping Mexican martinis and various margaritas. The Mexican cuisine is part south of the border and part Arizona Southwest fusion. Oregano's 1008 E Camelback Rd Phoenix, AZ 85014 602-241-0707 Description: There's more to Oregano's than just pizza, but it's a great place to begin. Opt for a name-your-own topping pizza and choose from a list of 33 items. Stick with the tried and tried like pepperoni and mushroom or reach out for a little cross-cultural noshing and include feta cheese or fajita chicken. Specialties like El Picasso, Southwest Signature and the Bistro Classic rewrite the book on what pizza should be. Salads, sandwiches, soups, wings and pastas serve up even more variety. For dessert, there's a pizza cookie of course. The Salt Cellar 550 N Hayden Rd Scottsdale, AZ 85257 480-947-1963 Description: You'll have to go underground to the seedy end of Scottsdale to find some of the finest, most reasonably priced seafood in the Valley. Salt Cellar has a wall full of "Best Of" citations awarded over the years for the freshest aquatic fare you'll find anywhere. The place is comfy, funky, fun and spotlessly clean. A four-page menu offers seafood in all varieties -- broiled, sauteed, baked, deep-fried, sliced and steamed.
