Some food is so good it's addictive. You crave it. Whenever you get a whiff or pass by the restaurant sign your mouth starts to water, your belly grumbles, and your mind starts to plead for you to turn into the restaurant. Just for a quick taste. It won’t take long. Southern California is known for all kinds of addictive vices, thankfully, food is one of the good ones. One particular restaurant chain out of SoCal has started a massive expansion East as it pushes out of California and into neighboring states. Utah has already started to see some influx, as well as others. However, now is the time for Arizona residents to get the itch for some of this addictive-creating food. 

Hatched in San Diego back in 2015, The Crack Shack is all about crafting deliciously addictive fried chicken. Chicken sandwiches have had a moment over the last several years, with many celebrities getting behind some of these ventures. However, The Crack Shack doesn’t have anything behind it other than an addictive name. Other than this, it is all about the food.

The restaurant chain recently announced it would push its business into Arizona, with two locations expected to pop up. There are already plots and addresses picked out, so you won’t need to wait too terribly long for your latest fix of fried chicken. The two new locations will be 190s East Camelback Road and the other will be 8980 East Shea Blvd. 

Unless you’ve stopped by a location in San Diego, chances are you haven’t had anything off the menu (or even heard of The Crack Shack) before. There are plenty of options to choose from, and it’s not simply fried chicken breasts. You can grab the BAE (bacon, avocado, sunny side egg with American cheddar on a brioche bun), or the Cali Drip (pollo asado, fries, chipotle-bacon mayo, pickled onions, jalapenos, Oaxaca queso, on a torta). The Double Clucker is bursting from the seems with two ground chicken patties, bacon, cheddar, avocado, pickles, fried onions, and burger sauce, served on a potato roll, while the Firebird is spicy fried Jidori thigh, cool ranch dressing, fried onions, pickles, served on a potato roll. 

You can also order fried chicken, all of which is bone-in, and it comes in your choice of honey butter, toro, fire, and sweet hot sauces. You can even find chicken oysters, fire chicken nuggets, Mexican poutine, plus catering options for larger groups.

James Beard Award Winner Opening First Location in Metro Phoenix

James Beard Award winners don’t exactly grow on trees. There also aren’t all that many floating around Arizona, so when one decides to open a new restaurant or shop around town, it means something. While Chris Bianco has received the award for his Phoenix-based pizza shops, the rest of the culinary landscape throughout the Valley is strangely void of previous winners. All of that will change come October when a previous James Beard award winner will make the trek up from Tucson to open a new shop.

Restaurant With Mouse Droppings in Food Forced to Close

Restaurants throughout greater Tucson are given multiple chances when performing poorly during annual health inspections. Restaurants, even when they have poor initial inspections, are allowed to correct the issues in a given window of time (generally between 10 and 30 days, depending on the problems). Should the restaurants prove incapable of making the corrections, the businesses are given failing health safety grades. And yet, the failed grade seems to not carry much weight, as the restaurants almost always remain open, serving potentially hazardous food to customers. Times might have changed, as one local restaurant is closing down after failing its health inspection.

Downtown Restaurant Unexpectedly Closes

Some restaurants go out with a bang, others go out with a whimper. For one restaurant here in Tucson, it wasn’t even a whimper. The restaurant closed up shop and, without notifying anyone, it faded off into nothing. For patrons who routinely venture to the university side of downtown, there’s a noticeable hole, yet not an unfamiliar one, as what should be prime real estate for restaurants has sat mostly unused for the better part of the last six years. The most recent restaurant closure came after the current business shut down, less than a year after opening.

New Italian Pizza Restaurant Now Open

There has been a surprising shortage of new pizza restaurants opening over the past several months. Traditionally, pizza restaurants have thrived, or at the very least performed well, thanks to the majority of customers having a built-in connection with pizza. Trying a new pizza shop is easy, doesn’t take too large of an investment, and a single pizza (or two) can often feed an entire family. And yet, restaurants have veered away from the tried and true offering. Instead, many new restaurants might offer a handful of quick-bake options but rarely focus on the food itself. However, if you’re a pizza lover, then good news because a new pizza restaurant has opened in metro Phoenix, serving up traditional Italian-style slices of pie.

Fast Growing Burger and Wings Restaurant Coming Soon

When a new restaurant wants to open but instead of moving into a current facility management wants to start from scratch, it can take longer to secure permits and receive city approval than to build and open the restaurant to the public. So, much of the legwork for these restaurants takes place behind the scenes. This is exactly what has been transpiring for a fast-growing restaurant and sports bar chain with an eye on expanding in greater Phoenix. However, with recent developments, it looks as though the path has been cleared for the expanding business to open a new location in the Valley.

2 Local Taco Restaurants Named Best in the Country

Every year, Yelp, the food review website that allows customers to review their dining experience, puts out specialized lists to outline the best restaurants around the country. Sometimes these lists have a wide breadth, covering all forms of eateries, all lumped into one list. These can be difficult lists at best, as comparing food trucks to fine dining isn’t exactly apples to apples. However, the website’s most recent list makes much more sense. Yelp set out to highlight the best tacos in the country and two of these locations are located here in Tucson.

Local Restaurant Given D-Grade During Health Inspection

Another week has come and gone, which means another week of restaurants in metro Phoenix visited by the county health inspector. With the vast number of restaurants spread throughout the Valley, it is a job that never lets up, no matter the time of year or the location. Despite the overwhelming number of restaurants in the area, the majority of these restaurants do receive A grades, meaning the establishments did not have a single violation. Even violations corrected at the time of inspection are still noted and will impact a restaurant’s overall grade. So, by and large, greater Phoenix has a majority of restaurants that are perfectly safe to eat at. However, there are a handful receiving violations over the course of each week. This includes one local establishment that received a D grade during its latest inspection.

Local BBQ Restaurant Closes After One Year

Restaurants seem to close up shop earlier and earlier these days. Whether not enough financial prep was put into planning, or banks and investors have shorter leashes and pull the plug on the businesses sooner than ever before, greater Phoenix has seen its share of restaurants shut down for good long before ever making it to their two-year anniversaries. One local BBQ restaurant barely made it past one year before shutting their doors for good.

Local Restaurant Hit With 10 Health Code Violations

When dealing with any kind of restaurant, health safety is extremely important. While health inspectors might be the bane of existence for restaurant owners, these individuals are the thin line between foodborne illnesses and the general public. It is also why every restaurant around greater Tucson is visited by a health inspector annually, to ensure the restaurant is keeping up with what is required of it. One local restaurant here in Tucson didn’t perform all that well, as 10 total violations were identified, and a repeat inspection is forthcoming.

Chicken Restaurant From Denver Opening in Town

If you have spent any time driving around Scottsdale in recent months, you may have happened onto a new restaurant called Birdcall. The restaurant stands out as it possesses a unique external eating area that feels part 1950s, part new age, all blended into one unique design. And yet, it still has a traditional drive-through. The massive glass windows from the dining area opens and almost invites curiosity, unlike the majority of fast food chains, which apply heavy tints and advertising stickers, making it nearly impossible to see what’s going on inside. This unique restaurant has a mission, and it’s also expanding in metro Phoenix, with a second restaurant open and the possibility of more on the way.

Popular Ghost Taco Restaurant Open Next Month

Award Winning Wings Restaurant Coming Soon.

When thinking of the best chicken wings, you might not instantly think of Korean chicken. While Korean chicken is a spin on American fried chicken, which first made an appearance on the Asian peninsula during the Korean War (thanks to American servicemen preparing the dish), the style has taken off here in the States. One chain restaurant in particular recently was named the “Best Wings” in Dallas. And now, the chicken wings are coming here to Tucson, where not one, but three new restaurants are in the works.
