5 Restaurants I Will Miss In PHX

5) Fox Sports Grill
One of the best places ever to watch a game ever, I watched Dwight Howard's Superman act, OSU vs. Wisconsin 07 and OSU vs. USC 08 at this fine establishment. There are probably 100 TV's in the place and the food is awesome. It is the perfect balance of fine dining and sports bar, too bad it was a 40 minute drive.

4) Hon Machi Sushi
Literally the best Sushi that I have ever had. There is something about the taste combination of Spicy Tuna and Coke that is remarkable. Hon Machi is also where I learned to actually eat sushi with chopsticks instead of a fork.

3) Barro's Pizza
If you are living in Phoenix and are originally from anywhere east of Texas, one of the worse things about the area is the lack of good pizza joints. Barro's my friends is the exception to that rule. The $4 two slice and a drink lunch special, the Meat Trio Pizza, and the wings make this place unique to the area. They also used to have an old Street Fighter Vs. SNK machine that had sticky buttons on the 2P side, sadly it has been replaced with one of those "You're a winner every time" vending machines.


2) Pita Jungle
The best thing about this place is definitely their hummus, it is to die for and it comes in three varieties: Regular, Bell Pepper, and Cilantro. But the Holy Grail was the off-menu Three Hummus Sampler, or the "Trifecta" as I liked to call it. Add on some grilled chicken and a side of tomatoes and you have yourself Pita Perfection.

1) Four Peaks Brewery
No place will be missed by my taste buds as much as Four Peaks Brewery on 8th st in Tempe. They have award winning beer (Kiltlifter being my fave), delicious grub and a Oatmeal Stout Beer Milkshake that is out of this world (that's right, it's a beer milkshake). The vast majority of my football watching while in Phoenix was done at this fine establishment, and it will be dearly missed, even though the owners were from MN and it was often swarming with Vikings fans.
