Saltgrass Steak House

Salt Grass – The Original Texas Steakhouse

This blog post should solely say, go for the Brussel sprouts and stay for everything else.  The end.

However, we did not go for the Brussel sprouts, we went for the steak and was pleasantly surprised by how delightful the Brussel sprouts were.  Yes, delightful.  As an adult I have been attempting to overcome my childhood trauma of being made to sit at the table for hours until my Brussel sprouts were finished.  Salt Grass’ Brussel sprouts have made me fall in love with their potential. Salty, sweet, crispy with bits of real bacon encrusted throughout. Just yum.

Ok, the reason we graced Salt Grass’ doors in the first place was the reputation of their steaks. I am a steak eater, but not a thick-meat eater.  I know, does that even make sense?  Probably not, but it is the complicatedness that I am.  My husband prefers his steak medium-well and I prefer mine well-done, so we comprised on having the steak cooked well-done.  Ha-ha. The chefs cooked our ribeye steak to perfection without it being dried out, grilled nicely and it was super flavorful.  They do not hold out on the seasonings, which makes their steaks suburb.

Now, let’s talk about the jumbo jalapeños stuffed with shrimp and jack cheese.  Fried to a golden brown. Served with ranch dressing.  That is Salt Grass’ description, no need to be altered.  For the folks that may be steered away from the fact that they are technically jalapenos, but they are not spicy, at all.  We ordered 3 and ordered 3 more, they were THAT good.  Just get them, and just get the order of 6 at the beginning.  Don’t play yourself.

Salt Grass earns a solid 9/10, and they could earn a perfect score if they would add a location in our home city, Phoenix, Arizona.  Checkout one of 80 locations across the United States, Salt Grass, we need you! (total for our meal was $83, and that include a very delicious cocktail-not pictured)

Best Chicken Wings in Phoenix

We are always on the hunt for the best chicken wing, because there is always a best to be found, right?

I noticed someone posted a question in a group I follow, and she said… “I’m new to the Phoenix area.  Where can I find the best chicken wings?”  I almost did not scroll through the comments, but because I am who I am I had to, even though I felt confident with the wing choices in my area.

I see the usual places repeatedly, but as I kept scrolling through the comments, I kept seeing Valley Wings.

“Valley Wings has the best wings and sauce.” 

“Valley Wings is always fresh.” 

“Definitely try Valley Wings.”

Valley Wings (Buffalo and Honey Hot Flavors)

I leave the comments and add Valley Wings to my phone’s notepad page, “Restaurants to Try.”

Chicken Alfredo Fries

My husband literally says the next day, “I want some wings.” I said, “all these people kept saying Valley Wings is the best.”  He was skeptical, so we had to check them out.

We ordered from the car.  Waited the 15 minutes they said it would take to complete our 20-wing order of 10 Honey Hot, 10 Buffalo and Chicken Alfredo Fries.

My husband went inside to pick-up our order.  We were going to drive home and eat, but we peeked into the box and mad the quick decision to eat in the car.

We debated Valley Wings against all our previous favorites, and my husband is staying true to his, but he says Valley Wings is a top contender.  I am all in with Valley Wings, they are THAT good!

In addition to helping with sun spots, Yeouth also helps with wrinkles, brightening and firmer skin.⁣⁣ I am interested in testing out the moisturizing cream as well.

Bruster’s Real Ice-Cream

You can never fail with a trip to the ice cream shop! Well, if they’re lactose intolerant, you can but Bruster’s Fresh even has non-dairy treats like Freezes.⁣

Even when it’s raining, like it is in Phoenix today, eat ice-cream and talk about how cold you are. Who does that? I do.

Bruster’s Real Ice-Cream in the Arrowhead area is a quick and easy ice cream stand with walk-up ordering and benches for outdoor seating. You know what I say, everything tastes better when you eat it outside. You can even grab your ice cream to-go thru the drive-thru, if you’re on the go.

Rich, creamy and lots of flavors to choose from! They even let you sample if you can’t decide what you should go with.⁣

Grab your kiddos and even your fur babies. Free ice cream to children under 40” and doggie sundaes for your non-human friends.

What’s your favorite ice-cream flavor. Here I have Rocky Road on the bottom and Cookies ‘N Cream on the top. (Sugar-free options are also available.)⁣

FUN FACT: I DO NOT eat chocolate ice-cream, but I eat Rocky Road.
