Asian Cafe Express

By the name of this place I would have NEVER tried it. But it was in the Phoenix Magazine for best Asian dish and so away we went. SO GOOD!! I recommend it and it was pretty cheap!

For appetizers we had crab puffs...which we eat to fast so no pic and Dusty had to have some chicken wings. I have no comment on the wings since I refuse to eat them but the crab puff was excellent!


We ended up getting a family meal...It was just Dusty and I but hey we wanted left overs for dinner. This is the Chicken Lo Mein
Sweet and Sour Pork with onions, carrots and peppers
Broccoli shrimp cooked with carrots in a light sauce
Chicken Fried Rice
And here it all is for just the two of us. People kept looking at us like we had never eaten before with all the food. I think going family style is the best way!

STAX Burger Bistro

Our "Culinary Adventure" took us to Stax Burger Bistro http://www.staxburgerbistro.com/ in Old Town. We have been past this restaurant so many times and just tried it out. Their burgers are pretty small a little bigger then a slider and so you try a few at a time

For starters we had the hummus and pita bread. I am having this weird craving for hummus lately, I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH! I eat it everywhere.


We decided to share 4 burgers, from left to right we have:

Short Rib with provolone cheese, horseradish and onion rings.

Turkey Burger infused with spinach, feta cheese, yellow red bell peppers topped with provolone cheese, grilled pineapple fresh guac and pico de gallo.

Shrimp Po'Boy Beer battered shrimp with melted pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and red pepper.

Lamb Colorado lamb topped with feta cheese, grape tomato


Mac n' Jack, Macaroni and pepper jack cheese Horsey Slaw


This was a real contemporary place, and very open and airy. I highly recommend it!
