Good eats in Phoenix
Well, since this is a restaurant review blog (oh, what?) I should tell you guys where I ate and drank while on my trip to Phoenix last week. I’ll even start with the St Louis Airport. I went to the Brewmaster’s Tap Room which is in the Southwest Terminal of Lambert St Louis. I appreciate [...]
