Friday Bites with Chef Theresa Willie
Chef Theresa “T” Willie is at helm of the kitchen and behind all of the excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner options at 32 Shea in Phoenix. Their Lobster Mac-n-Cheese is always a crowd pleaser along with their Crab Cakes and whatever happens to be their Entrée of the Moment.
Check out where Chef T goes for her favorites Friday Bites!
Coffee and a light bite| Lux
Hip, trendy and a place to be seen, not to mention they have great coffee, cocktails and a light food menu.
Solo Dining| Nook Kitchen
Cozy and welcoming little nook of a place with a long bar that stretches down to the kitchen. With a great array of Modern Italian tasty menu options. And always a friendly crew of people.
Best Outdoor Patio| The Attic
Without being egotistical, I would say 32 Shea’s Zen Garden, but in second the Attic has a great upper level patio that faces the North East, which leaves you with a view of Camelback Mountain. The beer selection along with wine is different by season and of course the food is just as good as everything else.
Best Burger| Bootleggers
Open Fire Chard Burger with Confit Bacon / Whiskey Caramelized Onions + Warm Pretzel Bun Amazing Fries. Simple but Mouth Watering and leaving you full to the max, with some left overs for that midnight snack.
Late night Eats| Pig And Pickle
The Kitchen offers food until 1am and puts out some great Gastro Pub / Charcuterie menu options. From wood oven roasted bone marrow crostini + buffalo pork shanks with bleu cheese crumbles. The Menu along with cocktails and atmosphere is definitely a restaurant to stop at during the late night.
