Phoenix<\/a> has one of the hottest restaurant scenes in the country, so we thought we\u2019d ask local Gnational Gnomad, Mike of MikesRoadTrip.com, to share some of his most Instagram-worthy food photos and Phoenix restaurant suggestions.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the reasons Phoenix<\/a> has such a vibrant array of restaurants is that it\u2019s a melting pot of people. In other words, most who live in Phoenix are from somewhere else, so the collective palate is diverse\u2014therefore, Phoenix is the perfect place to test restaurant concepts to see if they will work nationwide. Take for example, P.F. Chang\u2019s, Pei Wei, True Foods, Cold Stone Creamery and many others who got their start in Phoenix<\/a>. Phoenix is also is home to the Arizona Culinary Institute and Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, which both produce top-notch chefs that fuel the Phoenix food scene.<\/p>\n

Scottsdale\u2019s<\/a> Toro at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess<\/a> is like a Peruvian ascent to culinary heaven. The cuisine is a fusion of Latin and Asian influences and the d\u00e9cor mirrors this theme. The focal point of the space is a ceviche\/sushi\/rum bar that spans the length of the restaurant. Clean, modern-looking Asian lines and service settings highlight the sophistication of the bar area. Toro is a place where food is more than a meal, it\u2019s an event.<\/p>\n

Nestled in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale<\/a>, Citizen Public House does not have a flashy exterior or entrance, but what it lacks in glam and glimmer, it makes up for with vivacity. An evening at Citizen Public House cannot be contained within the word \u201cdinner\u201d or even in the phrase \u201cdining out.\u201d It\u2019s a place where comfort meets class. The food and cocktail ingredients are as imaginative, as they are delicious.<\/p>\n

The Mission<\/strong><\/h3>\n
