The Essential Phoenix +Scottsdale I love October. Not only is it one of my favorite months—the weather begins to cool off and, well, Halloween candy!—but it marks our Food Issue, with our special “Epicure” magazine included. From food festivals to boozy brunches to unique restaurants, we have it all. Check it out, and enjoy! Cheers!

90 MINUTES IN:

Camelback Mountain After enjoying all the fabulous food we talk about in this issue and ”Epicure,” you can work off some of those calories by exploring one of the Valley’s most prominent landmarks—Camelback Mountain. Drivers orient themselves by it, hikers test their stamina on it, and visitors take pictures from it. Camelback is the tallest (2,704 feet) and most easily identified (shape of a reclining camel) mountain in central Phoenix. If you’re feeling surefooted and well-hydrated, greet the camel on a summit hike. If you’re into epic sightseeing with a side of upscale cuisine, admire him from a resort patio on the north or south slope. Echo Canyon trail: McDonald Drive east of Tatum Boulevard, Paradise Valley; Cholla trail: 64th Street and Cholla Lane, Scottsdale. www.phoenix.gov/parks Get going!

October brings cooler days and a myriad of culinary festivals. Enjoy the very best the Valley has to offer—endless sunshine, cool desert breezes and delicious eats.

Enjoy unlimited tastes and drinks from a variety of vendors.

Taste of the Biltmore Presented by National Bank of Arizona on Oct. 11, the Taste of the Biltmore culinary festival is often recognized as the “unofficial” kick-off of the Arizona charity event season. The upscale block party beckons guests to nibble, nosh and sip the night away, all while benefiting Feeding Matters and United Cerebral Palsy of Central Arizona. National Bank of Arizona started Taste of the Biltmore in 2007, and it has since become one of the most anticipated taste events of the year. Tickets are $75 and include unlimited tastes and drinks from all vendors throughout the evening. National Bank of Arizona, 6001 N. 24th St. www.tasteofthebiltmore.com

Sip and savor.

Spanning over 10 acres, The Arizona Taco Festival is one of the largest food festivals in the nation.

The festival operates on a token system, where guests trade purchased tokens for tacos and drinks. Also: Live music, lucha libre wrestling, eating contests, the popular Chihuahua dog beauty pageant, a margarita mixology expo, and a Kids’ Zone. Tickets start at $12 online for general admission.

Walk

Let someone else do the driving and discover the best of foodie Phoenix. Call up JoyRidesAZ (480.675.7857, www.joyridesaz.com) and climb onboard an open-air golf cart to taste—and sip—the best of downtown Scottsdale. Book a 3-hour lunch or dinner tour to check out the sights in Old Town while sampling great food from some of the area’s top locales and best-kept secrets, tasting local brews, or sipping Arizona wines. Each culinary tour also includes a glass of wine or beer at each location, so you can sit back and enjoy Scottsdale with a local expert as your “concierge on wheels.”

Interested in knowing more about Arizona’s beer scene? Hop on the bus with Arizona Brewery Tours (480.382.4677, www.azbrew.com) to see and taste behind-the-scenes at area breweries, from Scottsdale to Phoenix to Chandler. Choose a full HOP’on Tour for 4-5 hours, where you will sample craft beers, tour behind the scenes, learn about making beer, and savor local foods. You can also book the public tour that visits three craft breweries or arrange a private tour and choose your own time and pickup location. If you are short on time, book the Short HOP’n brewery tour of 2.5 to 3.5 hours, where you’ll visit two select local breweries. You can pair your visit with a meal or light appetizers. Founders Hoppymoto and Johnny Boi are two Phoenix locals with a passion for beer.

They love sharing stories and secrets of the beer industry with everyone in their quest for the perfect beer.

Dig up the history and roots of Phoenix on the Historic Downtown Phoenix Food Tour with Taste It Tours (480.274.3569, www.tasteittours. com). Offered every Saturday from October through May, you’ll experience the hot Phoenix food scene at five different local eateries. The Roosevelt Row Day tour explores the colorful Phoenix arts district every Sunday afternoon, featuring bites from fresh market cuisine to gourmet hot dogs. If you prefer an evening tour, book either a Scottsdale Dinner Foodie Feast to visit downtown Scottsdale’s culinary gems, or the Phoenix Evening Dine Around, where you’ll have a chance to sample paired cocktails. The Downtown Gilbert Food Tour showcases the growing East Valley food scene with stops at six spots, from Mexican street tacos to Asian fusion.

» Bike

Get in on the party action when you book the Arizona Party Bike (844.654.5544, www.arizonapartybike.com). Climb onboard the party pub bike—don’t worry, there’s an electric motor so you don’t have to do all the work—and let the fun begin. Take a 2-hour pub crawl (along with your driver) through Old Town Scottsdale, downtown Phoenix or along Mill Avenue in Tempe, where you’ll imbibe at some of the Valley’s favorite watering spots. If you prefer a BYOB experience, book a tour with Tour De Tavern (480.299.4182, www.tourdetavern.com) in Scottsdale. Take a 2- or 3-hour trip through downtown and enjoy your own wine or beer as you take in local sights and enjoy stops at local pubs/bars. You’ll pedal as you go, gearing up to a top speed of 5-8 mph. Again, a driver is in charge of steering and braking.—by Susan Lanier-Graham

Tasty Bites and Perfect Souvenirs JAMES BEARD FOODIE Danielle Leoni, owner of The Breadfruit & Rum Bar in downtown Phoenix, is a leading Arizona advocate for sustainable seafood. She was one of 60 chefs to pilot the James Beard Foundation’s sustainable seafood program, and The Breadfruit is the only small restaurant in Arizona certified by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program. She is a passionate promoter of the cause and speaks around the country to encourage other chefs to dip their toes into the sustainable seafood waters. Highlights of The Breadfruit’s menu include Jamaican dishes like Appleton Rum Sea Scallops, Red Stripe Curried Shrimp and Banana Leaf Steamed Fish. www.the breadfruit.com; 602.267.1266 PRACTICALLY PERFECT For the perfect souvenir that is hyper-local and eco-friendly, nothing beats Practical Art in Uptown Phoenix. The retail and gallery space features the work of 150 Arizona artisans working with wood, fiber, ceramic, glass, metal and upcycled materials to create jewelry, household décor, clothing, furniture and more.

Favorites include Ray DelMuro’s wine glasses made from recycled wine bottles he collects from Valley restaurants (to date he’s kept one million bottles out of landfills) and Michelle Spanyard’s etched silver Phoenix Pendants, which have a tiny map of Arizona in the shape of a heart. The store collects recyclables from the community and turns them into cash, which they are using to create an artist grant program.

Saturday artist-led classes allow budding artists to make their own art. www.practical-art.com; 602.264.1414 —by Dena Roché 27

Valley of the Sun

Diana Brandt

[Professional Food Eater at Arizona Foodie]

Diana Brandt moved from Seattle to the Valley more than 10 years ago. Four years ago, after realizing the food industry was her passion, she launched Arizona Foodie on Instagram, as well as a blog and a presence on other social sites. Since then she's hosted media and popup events, has been a judge on the Cooking Channel, contributes segments on local TV and radio, has her own magazine —and has more than 67K Instagram followers.

How did you get into all of this?

Originally it started when I was entertaining the idea of opening my own bakery and baking for my friends to make money on the side. From that I jumped into working an international food festival,

and then into local food festivals. I fell in love with the chaos, the passion and the people behind food.

Arizona Foodie started on Instagram four years ago because I wanted to create a community of people who loved food as much as I did and

56 W H E R E P H O E N I X + S COT T S D A L E I O C TO B E R 2018

wanted to explore the city through food. From there it has become everything that it is today.

Were you always a foodie or were you a picky eater as a kid?

I wouldn’t call myself a foodie but my family

Any dishes you’ve tried anywhere that stand out as the top-of-the-top?

Well, I love desserts and most desserts are topof-the-top for me! It's so hard to break down only a few, when I feel like we have such an array of amazing restaurants with dishes that I've love. From burgers, to tteokbokki, tacos to gyros, fried chicken to churros, I'll take it all!

You now do videos and segments too… can you tell us about those?

I have been trying to do videos for a long time but the idea of editing and even capturing content in a new way was overwhelming. Each platform that I share content on is done in different ways depending on the audience, and I like

that creative challenge of figuring out what to capture to get people to engage and enjoy.

Instagram stories can be more casual and fun. The new videos I'm doing are more to give the experience or share a fun dish the restaurant might have. I've also been doing radio segments weekly with The Morning Mess on Live 101.5, and those are all about sharing the food scene with people that might not follow me.

The goal for all of this is to continue telling the story of Arizona through our amazing food scene.

What do you like most about living in the Valley?

Phoenix has grown on me. I used to think I would move back to Seattle, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. We’ve built a family here now. I love the winters here and that the beach is a short drive away. And through Arizona Foodie, I’ve found a lot of friendships that I cherish and I wouldn't want to lose those.

Favorite local restaurants?

There really are too many to list. I don't have restaurants that I hit on the regular really, they usually rotate. I'm so busy trying to taste all the restaurants that Arizona has to offer, that I rarely get to go back to the same spot frequently.

COURTESY DIANA BRANDT

ate food from all over.

My mom is from New Zealand, my dad from New York, they had my siblings in France, and then moved to California, where I was born. We ate everything from oxtail to cow’s tongue and everything in between, and it was mostly home-cooked.

Once a month my parents might order takeout at our favorite Chinese or Italian restaurant, but that was it. I will say, I was not a fan of vegetables growing up or sushi, but I love both now. One thing I try to teach my children that my parents taught me is to at least try a bite of everything and then decide from there. That helped to build my palate.

Nestled in the desert foothills of the Old West in Wickenburg, Wickenburg Ranch invites you to step away from urban congestion, and live the spectacular life you’ve dreamed of. While embracing its natural surroundings with personalized homes and lot designs that celebrate the majestic views, Wickenburg Ranch bolsters a freeing spirit and authentic connection among its residents. From an inspiring social club with luxury-quality amenities like ďŹ ne dining with private wine lockers, spa, sports courts and unparalleled golf course designs to homes from the mid-$200s to $900+, Wickenburg Ranch is a community where you can create the life you’ve always wanted.
