Re: Recommendations for good duck in the east valley?
Last night, The Windsor's "chef special" was duck confit served with lentils, fig compote, and salad. It was somewhat out of character for the Windsor, which I normally consider a place for burgers and fried chicken, but it was quite good, especially for a price just a little over $20. IMG...

Shrimp
My usual source of shrimp, the Wild Shrimp company, has stopped selling at local farmers markets. What's everyone favorite source? The ones I find at the grocery are usually farmed.

Re: East Side Gyro spots?
Definitely agree on Med Fresh and Haji-Baba. I also like Phoenicia, which has locations in both Tempe and Gilbert. It's interesting and a little disappointing that Med Fresh, which is Turkish, is now referring to what they serve as gyros rather than doner. I guess too few people were familiar with t...

Re: Buqui Bichi (Downtown Phx)
I recently tried the downtown location and ordered the carne asada tacos. Interestingly, I received not only the three meat tacos advertised but also a bonus taco full of refried beans. I'd say the tacos were good but not great. The tortillas were somewhat flaccid, but the meat was tender and flavor...

Re: Bad Jimmy's Burgers
Both of the regular burgers, the classic double and the double burger, are great. Their names make them hard to distinguish, but they differ in the way they handle onions (raw vs. caramelized) and the condiments. A menacing sign at the counter says "no modifications," but I've seen poeple ...

Re: Foodnerd Lunch this Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday?
FYI: Hue Gourmet has been renamed after its signature dish, Bun Bo Hue. The menu appears to be essentially the same, but I can't attest to the quality since I've haven't eaten there since the change.

Re: Feringhee Modern Indian Cuisine
Two of your three go tos for Indian are ours as well but have never heard of Vayals. Vayal's is new for 2024. It opened just a month or two ago on Thomas Road across from St. Joseph's hospital. I've been there several times and have been pleased with everything so far. It's a refreshing change to h...
