This time, I had a soon-expiring offer to 5 & Diner. After checking hours through Yelp, I called in a to-go order. The lady who took my order did have a little “sas” in her voice. But I knew to expect that, as Groupon wears on the even the most hardy […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...]]> http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/burger/2012/burger-5-diner-tempe-arizona/feed/ 0 http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/sandwich/2012/sandwich-brosenbrus-cafe-tempe-arizona/ http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/sandwich/2012/sandwich-brosenbrus-cafe-tempe-arizona/#comments Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:58:23 +0000 poeticterror http://www.christopherthiele.com/?p=1095 It was that familiar time again. Time to use a Groupon before it expires. This time, it was a Brosenbrus Cafe. After yelping to confirm their hours, I decided an early lunch would be the best time. Once there, I ordered the Turkey Bacon Pesto Sandwich which was served with tomato, lettuce, and balsamic reduction.

Since this was our second time, here, we knew what we liked and we knew not to order too much food.

Living in Phoenix, the quality of our breakfast tacos is seriously lacking. Thus, every time I end up in Austin, I try to eat as many breakfast tacos as I can. I decided to go to a favorite from when I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...]]> http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/breakfast/2012/breakfast-mi-madres-austin-texas/feed/ 0 http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/middle-eastern/2012/me-phoenicia-cafe-tempe-arizona/ http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/middle-eastern/2012/me-phoenicia-cafe-tempe-arizona/#comments Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:32:01 +0000 poeticterror http://www.christopherthiele.com/?p=1072 During a break on campus, I needed a bite to eat. Using Yelp, I ended up at Phoenicia Cafe. I ordered the Chicken Gallaba, which was chicken shawarma with bell peppers, carrots, onions, in a spicy tomato sauce with rice.  This was definitely a plate I had never had before, and tasted like a great fusion between Mexican […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...]]> http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/middle-eastern/2012/me-phoenicia-cafe-tempe-arizona/feed/ 0 http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/home/2012/home-jalapeno-pesto/ http://www.christopherthiele.com/food/home/2012/home-jalapeno-pesto/#comments Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:08:18 +0000 poeticterror http://www.christopherthiele.com/?p=1065 I originally got this recipe from a Lady at a small fair in an organic nursery in San Antonio, Texas. She had samples of about four different types of pesto, and this one had a distinct Texan flair I fell in love with.

Looking through Yelp, we decided on Beaver Choice. The eating area was very “no frills,” kind of what you’d expect from a place like Subway. That also would be the last analogy to Subway. as the dining experience then took a decisively “European” turn.
