I'm driving around Phoenix and trying to think of a place to eat. I'm drawing blanks. Where to eat? Does that ever happen to you? Fortunately, I have Dining in Arizona: 101 Great Places to Eat, by Claire Bush in my glovebox. I pull it out and scan the restaurants by city index in the back of the book. I look up the summaries for a handful that sound interesting. Now all of a sudden, I have a mind full of options and decide to eat at a restaurant I've never tried before. Claire's book is handy for locals like me, and especially helpful for the throngs of tourists that visit the valley. The summaries are concise but elaborate enough to convey the restaurant's concept and include highlights on the specialties, so my appetite is already whetted before I walk in the door. Thirty-five or so of the restaurants are outside the Phoenix Metro area, so even if I'm hiking in Flagstaff, I can use the guide to find a spot to eat before heading back to the Valley. Other handy indicies include restaurants by cuisine, and by category, like cheap eats, splurge, and date night. No longer will I drive around aimlessly, trying to think of a place to eat. I'll just reference Claire's book, and save time and brain space. Thanks, Claire!
