The Grind

3961 E. Camelback Rd (N 40th St)

Phoenix • (602) 954-7463

 

One of the top 10 must-try
burger joints in the country
- "Bon Appetit" magazine July 2010

“The Grind, headed up by chef Matt McLinn (his Valley credentials include Christopher's Fermier, and his own Méthode Bistro and BLT Steak), serves up a compact menu of burgers and other dishes cooked in unique coal-fired ovens. From the mouthwatering sweet and spicy burger, topper with combination of candied jalapenos and fried ratatouille, pungent roasted garlic aioli, and a heap of fresh watercress, to a peppercorn-crusted version, there’s plenty to satisfy carnivores, although there are a few meat-free treats as well, including a hefty portobello burger, salads, roasted vegetables, and sweet potato fritters. Snug booths, sexy lighting, and a long, gleaming bar make it an inviting watering hole.” - Phoenix New Times

Coal-fired ovens have been used in Europe for hundreds of years. While, it’s a relatively new concept in the United States, it’s been the preferred technology for decades in countries like Spain, France, England and Italy.

The Grind is the first restaurant in the United States to utilize custom coal-fired ovens that cook at over 1,000 degrees. The ovens come with two adjustable broiler racks that allow Chef McLinn to cook a wide variety of meats and vegetables in the oven simultaneously; making this a versatile piece of equipment, capable of very high production.

Traditional gas ovens cook at 550 degrees, wood ovens around 650 degrees. Only coal can get an oven this hot. Most items cook in approximately four minutes and the high heat allows Chef McLinn to create a flavorful crust while sealing in the juicy tenderness in all of our products. The smoke imparts flavor and the end result is the most tender, juicy piece of meat, you’ll ever taste!

 

 

 

Local Breeze

606 N 4th Ave (W Fillmore St)

Phoenix • (602) 368-3613

 

“…sit back and soak up some genuine hospitality and a mish-mash of tasty dishes in larger-than-life portions.” - Phoenix Magazine

“Owner Sid Campbell was a longtime cook at Pischke’s Paradise, the now-shuttered Scottsdale eatery, so he’s revived some favorite Pischke’s dishes here in tribute to his late employer, Chris Pischke (the Fire Island pizza, in particular, is worth a try). And as the restaurant name suggests, Local Breeze has a subtle tropical vibe, capitalizing on a great location with an amazing patio. Grab a seat under the misters, order up some comfort food, and chill out with a sangria at this laid-back place, just blocks from downtown Phoenix.”

AZ 88

7353 E Scottsdale Mall

Scottsdale • (480) 994-5576

 

“Trendy, neo-boho watering hole/cafe that pulses with energy, and remains one of the most reliable late-night dining spots in town. When the rest of Scottsdale is yawning and rolling up the sidewalks, AZ 88 is going strong like a stud bull on Viagra. God bless 'em. Edibles are mainly salads, burgers and sammies — nothing amazing, but there are some solid noshes to be had. For finger food, we dig the galettes, these little flatbread pizza thingees, and the Buffalo-style chicken salad with blue cheese and hot sauce goes well with a glass of Bass Ale. Check out the mirrored stalls in the restrooms: Guaranteed to trip you out.” - Phoenix New Times

“Since 1988, this bar/restaurant has been known for its beautiful clientele, cool music and serious cocktails. But that reputation can also be misleading, because AZ 88 is also a place to eat a big, delicious burger and out-of-this-world waffle fries.” – azcentral.com

 

 

 

Stax Burger Bistro

4400 N Scottsdale Rd (south of E Camelback Rd)

Scottsdale • (480) 946-4222

 

"Streamlined and fun, Stax is home to stylishly presented sliders, offered in a variety of “grinds” (beef, lamb, buffalo and ostrich, for example) with a variety of trendy toppings, cheeses, relishes and condiments. Build your own or try Stax’s imaginative combos, remembering to save room for short rib-baked beans and creamy mac & cheese."
