New Menus Add Spice to Sizzling Dining Scene

The pop-culture fueled Geisha A Go Go in downtown Scottsdale added an eight-seat sushi bar, dishing out specialty Americanized “rock and roll” style sushi creations. There’s the Gaijin, a sinfully good combination of spicy tuna and crab mix, avocado, and cream cheese, wrapped in seaweed, rice and a spring-roll, which is then – wait for it – deep fried. The Pokemon melds Fritos, breaded salmon, spicy crab mix and avocado.

Talavera at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North recently debuted a new menu focusing on fresh, seasonal dishes including starters like the Caramelized Onion Tart with prosciutto and melon and Goat Cheese Salad with baby beats, Asian pear and arugula. For those who can’t decide on just one item, Talavera now offers the Chef’s Two-Course Tasting menu where guests pay $34 (or $45 with wine pairings) to sample a selection of chef-recommended dishes like the Chicken Fried Quail with heirloom tomatoes and haricot vart. The menu rotates every week.

Michael Mina’s BOURBON STEAK at the Fairmont Scottsdale created a new Bar Burgers menu offered exclusively at the restaurant’s bar and lounge. The interactive menu is easy on the wallet and allows you to create burgers just the way they like them by choosing the burger type, up to six toppings, and accompaniments like the famous duck-fat fries and onion rings. The five signature burgers range from $14 to $18 and are the all-beef, heritage turkey, falafel, lamburger, and salmon steak burger. And what is a burger without a frosty shake to comfort the soul? Try a signature adult milkshake like Bourbon Praline, the Grasshopper and Rum Raisin.
