The 38 Essential Restaurants in Phoenix

"Husband and wife team Jason and Katherine Dwight (he’s the butcher and chef; she’s the baker) are the ultimate DIYers. Not only is every single ingredient on their constantly changing, modern American menu made from scratch, but the quirky, 60s-era space is full of reclaimed wood Dwight has repurposed for multiple uses, including a massive community table and chandelier. He also breaks down whole animals (which he ages in a curing room he built himself) and makes his own charcuterie. Meanwhile, Katherine is one of the best bakers in town, turning out gorgeous gingerbread and a dreamy lemon meringue pie." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
