Craft 64 in Chandler AZ ... we got Invited to Check out their New Oktoberfest Menu items and give feedback !

Craft 64 in Chandler invited us out to check out their Oktoberfest Menu only available till the end of October. We tried 3 different amazing pizzas.

The Flammekueche :

garlic oil and rosemary foods, cream cheese, smoked bacon, Red Onion, mozzarella and aged Parmesan on an everything bagel crust garnished with rosemary.

The Bavarian :

Fig Jam and rosemary infused cream cheese, prosciutto, dried figs, mozzarella and aged Parmesan. Garnish with basil leaves and rosemary

The shotsy :

House smoked sausage, onions and tangy sauerkraut with a mozzarella and Parmesan blend on a honey mustard glazed crust.

Also If you like wings you have to check out the Biergarten smoked mustard wings !!

We had so many leftovers and a busy weekend ahead, that I gave the slices to my friend Ken and I included a text of his response on what he honestly thought about them

Check out Craft 64 in Chandler or Scottsdale especially through October to check out their Oktoberfest menu.

Full disclosure I got invited out to give my opinion on the new menu. This was actually in September on the 11th to be honest and also I purchased items from them I wanted to eat and bought those home, including a meatballs sandwich and their craft 64 pasta I'll even see if this lets me post a lot of pictures. I'll try and grab that receipt for the post.

It's crazy. We really liked everything we tried and being honest, the pizza selections are typically not what I would order. I'm more of a cheese or pepperoni. Chris is more of a white cheese ricotta and maybe a couple toppings, but all three pizzas were amazing !!!

I was really also impressed with those mustard wings we tried. They smoked the wings for 2 hours and then fry them and they came with some pretzel bites on the side too lol

Everything at this place is made from scratch. Craft made from the does to the sauces to the dressings and they don't even have a freezer !!

Jersey Tavern Pizza in Arizona ?!! Tried it at the Official Grand Opening of Grandioso Pizza in PHX

Jersey Tavern Style Pizza at the Grand opening of Grandioso Pizza in Phoenix, located at 1229 Grand avenue by W Mckinley St

Full disclosure I am friends with the owner Justin. We go way back. It started when I used to go to his pizza places back in like 2014 and he used to come to my clothing store as a customer. Also both pizzas were paid for by my good friend Greedy Nick !! I was excited to try the Jersey Tavern pie. We were the first people to try it that night. He had been talking about it for a while. Only thing I can say is I'd encourage everybody to check it out for themselves. I'm a very big fan of it. I don't think there's anything like it in Arizona and I'd definitely go back for it !! I want to also add I've never been the biggest fan of the thin slice thin style pizzas because I can smash a whole pie in one sitting lol smh

After the gym Homemade P B & J Protein Shake as meal replacement ...Showing the other side of Creating Food Content !

After the gym P B & J Homemade Protein Shake for lunch !! I've been doing stuff like this but I want to balance it out and show a little bit more of this side. Again it is not just eating pizzas, burgers, fries, fried chicken and desserts lol

I have to do this step 3 to 5 times a week at lunch after the gym instead of eating solids. This helps balance a little some of the foods I eat out , again I said balance not absolve πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌπŸ’ͺ🏼πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Started a 72 hr fast as soon as I got back from Vegas !! Doing a 7 week fast and workout program (this is the side of Food Content Creation that needs to be seen)

I started a 72 hr fast as soon as I got home from Las Vegas I have 9 hrs to go only water and a cup of black coffee a day ... Also I'm Doing a 7 week fast and workout program as well, this is week 1 !!! I want to post this every now and then? Just so there is a balance being shown and a responsibility. I don't want to just show all this food pizza's Burgers, fries etc and desserts being eaten without showing some of the things I do to try and balance it out. Keep In mind, I probably eat out on average 7 times a week. Sometimes it's mostly all on the weekends, especially when out of town. That's enough to create content to post for each day. The rest of the time we eat at home. We take home leftovers and after the gym we usually have a protein shake instead of a meal. I also take a few supplements that I think really help me. I'll share those in a future video. πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌ

Foodie on A Budget $1.89 Taquito / Rolled Taco Mondays

Let me start by saying not all Filabertos are created equal lol When you find a good location , embrace it and don't let it go πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ . Also make sure to check the daily specials Monday thru Friday for some cheaper eats. Today being Monday is $1.89 for 3 Rolled Tacos / Taquitos. They only come with cheese and imo ordering a side of guac in a small plastic container for $4.99 Ian t worth it. Either have some guac ready at home or we got lucky and had some leftover , amazing chipotle Salsa from a family that does Pollo Asado and Carme Asada out their home every weekend !! Anyways Kris and I got 9 grilled tacos for $6.14 out the door.

These were actually really good and filling for $6 πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌπŸ€™πŸΌ

And to answer some , no I am not getting paid for this I actually thought it was pretty cool to get the experience of being on the other side of the counter and coming up with a combo , hopefully others will appreciate it as much as I do. More importantly, I wanted to help get as much exposure to this family owned and operated business that is struggling even though they have an amazing product and good customer service .Matt the owner was telling me they still have their 4 original employees from when they opened 3 years ago , that's got to say something about this business too !

The Real Reason The Michelin Food Certification Awards were started and how did Arizona not get one this year ?

How did the Michelin Food Ratings even come about ??? And Arizona getting shut out of any Michelin Star Certification is that fair ?? I think there are more than a few spots that deserve recognition in Arizona !! I actually think the whole Michelin Tire company Restaurant ratings with the secret shopper program and evaluation is overrated and yes I've been fortunate to go to a few .Michelin rates places across the country , I am glad I got to go and thankful for the experience but I was not blown away by any of them .... I will tell this story later One place in New York. I took a couple months to get reservations this was probably 2017 when I went there with a business partner. It was his idea. He was very hyped on it. I went to a place where you could not bring your cameras. You checked them into a locker and the meal ended up having 25 small courses and it came out to about $1,500 per person. Full disclosure, I did not pay for the meal directly , it was put on the business.No more than 30 mins after we finished eating and we were walking around New York , I stopped at a corner kiosk and grabbed a chicken kabob pita for $15

Remember Sweet Tomatoes ? They are making a slow comeback ... We checked out the first location in Tucson AZ

Remember Sweet Tomatoes ?? I used to go to the one on Southern in Tempe all the time in the early to mid 2000s. I heard For a while now that the only location in the country still left was the Tucson one. It's been our mission to check it out and when we finally do this past week they tell me they open another one in Florida lol. They are actually making a slow calculated comeback as I heard, one more store being open next. Our Meal for both of us all you can eat plus two to-go cups came out to $35 out the door with tax included. I will Say this visit was a trip down memory lane. everything is exactly how I remembered it except they didn't have the chicken noodle soup lol I also Remember in maneuvering around the restaurant how it feels like you're in rush hour traffic or at a busy Costco where people driving down the wrong side of the road , not turning on their blinkers And taking your parking space right in front of you lol If you liked sweet Tomatoes back then. you'll like them now and if you're into all, you can eat salad bars with some other options as well. definitely check them out in Tucson.
