The Green Fairy and Stuffed Squid

A friend recently told me she was going to Phoenix for a few days and wanted to know where to go. I was slightly embarrassed to say I had no idea. I don't know what's cool in Phoenix anymore. Or Scottsdale, or Tempe, or in the dark part of the city west of 7th Avenue I like to call Mordor.

But tonight I was dragged to Digestif, in Scottsdale, and found some cool things, notably absinthe:


and chorizo-stuffed squid bruschetta:



More later.

eric -- i love your blog. i, too, have the first season's dvds of mad men gathering dust on top of the tv. (along with several other things in common with you, i learned by reading your blog -- including a keen interest in how jews celebrate christmas, from a pop culture perspective.) anyhow, i'm glad you got dragged to digestif -- check out our food blog, chow bella, at www.phoenixnewtimes.com -- and think about whether you'd like to talk about being our tucson correspondent.....my email: amy.silverman@newtimes.com
