It was a blast at Dutchman’s HideOut at The Mining Camp Restaurant in Apache Junction . This is our third remote here and each time people can’t get over how delicious the food is. The service was terrific. The food is amazing at a great price. I love the Gold Strike Burger. Here are some great photos of the remote. We enjoyed having Lauren from the Beef Council join us.

Mel’s Diner, 1747 NW. Grand Ave Phoenix, AZ – (602) 252-8283, was like “time travel”, back to the days of the TV show Alice, however, the surreal part was that the service and food were terrific, so unlike the show. Here are some fun photos of the remote. Paraskevi Stamatouli, and her husband, Emmanouil Stivaktakis, , owners of Mel’s with Rebecca and the other gave great service and delicious food. They really had things humming. Check out all the photos.
Owner Emmanouil Stivaktakis,
We had a great time when we took out of town guests, Don’s Sisters, brothers in law, and nephew with a friend in tow to Pinnacle Peak Patio on 10426 East Jomax Road Scottsdale, AZ 85262 (480) 615-1113 . We thought the views on the drive up would be great and we had never been to this landmark tradition in Arizona. (Be careful, don’t wear a tie, they will cut it off and the evidence hangs from the ceilings.) Here are some photos of our meal. They have a trading post that is not as impressive as the Mining Camp in Apache Junction, but the atmosphere is very Western.
