First, on Satrday night we had to head over to Trader Vics for some appetizers and drinks. Then on Sunday, Lee's friend-in-Phoenix Yvonne had suggested meeting up at South Mountain Farm for breakfast one morning, which we did willingly because we know how good the food is there! Then Sunday night we ended up at our current favorite burger place, Stax. Monday we went to the Eggery for breakfast, it seems really old school but they do great healthy food there, and then finally as the piece de resistance, we tried the Bada Boom Pasta Room but it was closed, which was lucky really as we ended up at the Italian Grotto, which was awesome. Lee grew up in new York, and loves his italian food, and the Italian Grotto passed all of his tests for good authentic east coast italian food!

Finally, not a lot of people know this, but rocker Alice Cooper lives in Phoenix - mainly I suspect because of his incongruous love of golf! Anyway he also owns a bar here called "Alice Cooperstown" and we had to go. it's a cross between a sports bar and the Hard Rock cafe. Alice wasn't there when we dropped by, but hung on the wall were guitars belonging to Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. I worshipped at the altar for a long time...
