PHOENIX magazine’s 3rd annual Dish Fest unleashed an expanded feature in 2024: the chef demonstration!
Throughout the food festival — held on Sunday, March 17 at The Clayton House in Scottsdale — five of the best chefs in the Valley took turns showing off their culinary skills and food knowledge on a Wolf, SubZero, Cove outdoor cooking stage set up by Ferguson Showroom.
Where to go now for plate-sized fry bread, uni-oyster shooters, filet mignon-stuffed tortelloni, and fancy Indian chaat.
Although the metro Phoenix food scene naturally took a hit during the pandemic, it has been coming roaring back in recent years, offering more and better choices for memorable dining in just about every category.
This weekend only, the modern Indian restaurant in Chandler will serve fresh takes on traditional recipes served during the five-day festival. For Karan Mittal, Diwali is a reminder of the importance of family, and wherever he is in the world, food keeps him connected to those he holds close. “Diwali’s all about cooking for loved ones,” says Mittal, the head chef of Feringhee Modern Indian Cuisine. “It is one of those festivals no matter where you are, you are with your family.”
Smyth is now Chicago’s second three-Michelin-starred restaurant while Indienne becomes the city’s only Michelin-starred Indian restaurant. For years, Michelin inspectors have made chefs John and Karen Urie Shields wait. Their daring tasting menu restaurant — Smyth — sat on the precipice of greatness with two Michelin Stars, one star short of perfection.
Blessed is a word that Chef Vijay Kumar of Semma, a two-year-old South Indian restaurant in New York’s West Village, uses a lot. He admits to being deeply thankful for his hardworking, dedicated team, the appreciation he receives from his patrons and now, most recently, a Michelin Star, which the restaurant has retained from last year.
The restaurant scene in the area has grown and evolved considerably in the last decade, but metro Phoenix once known for its steak houses and mainstream Mexican restaurants has positively exploded in the past five years, ironically, even more so in the past two.
When thinking about Phoenix area restaurants, certain categories come to mind. There are the classics such as Carolina’s and Duck and Decanter. There are chef-driven spots with big names like Pizzeria Bianco and Barrio Cafe.
