Phoenix Public Market Closed-Sad News

Read it here. I was so disappointed to see this happen. Especially since not many places cater so well to Vegetarian and Vegan food. The food they made on site was really delicious. I was never disappointed. The good news is we can still visit the farmers market during their regularly scheduled times.

***UPDATE****

Re-Opened!
It is now the Cafe at the Phoenix Public Market. Check it out.

Short Leash Hot Dogs

These puppies are amazing. Let's hear it for gourmet food trucks everywhere... but zero in on this one.
They are located at the Downtown Farmers Market on Central and McKinley on Wednesday nights from 4-8, Friday lunch 11-1:30, and Saturday morning 8-12 during the weekly Farmers Market among a number of other food trucks. However this is most likely the only one with a line, but believe me its worth the wait! They have a great selection of dogs, I get the veggie dog, (can you believe you can get an amazing veggie dog!!!?) and you can pick one of their creations or...even better, create your own! For just $5 add whatever you desire on your dog, sauerkraut, jalapeno's, green chili's, beans, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions...the list goes on. Then they wrap it up with a delicious, fresh, soft, tasty flatbread and top it off with a pickle slice. The perfect Hot Dog. To make the experience even better the people that run it are super nice!
They travel and can also be seen at Smeeks and Stinkweeds at other times so check out their Facebook page and check out their calendar for all times and locations.

LUX

Need I say more. Having become a see-and-be-seen spot in central Phoenix, where folks are seldom seen without their Apple device, this is THE best cup of coffee in town hands down...well at least its my favorite. They roast their own beans and eat your heart out Starbucks, those perfectly roasted beans make a tasty cup of coffee. I only say this because I love a good Starbucks soy latte but I'd rather support the local guy, and unfortunately in this area Starbucks is hard to beat. Many a local guy will cut corners on the soy and the beans and those are important details...ahem..Copperstar (whom I want so much to love but the soy they use is very blah and ruins the whole latte for me). The espresso macchiato is small, and nothing like Starbucks macchiato, strong, and full of bold flavor for a tiny drink. But beware it really is small, little bigger than a shot of espresso with steamed milk. My bev of choice though is always a latte and they make the best. Located right next to Pane, they make quite the dynamic duo! Love Lux! Don't forget to get your punch card. You have to ask for it. Normally great service, unfortunately this morning was the exception, sad to say the cashier was super rude and snobbier than she should have been, and it took about 25 min to heat a slice of quiche. All we want is a good cup of coffee and a good experience.
