Re: “Noshing Around”
Couldn't agree more, Scarpia B. I did some serious binge shopping there right after it opened and it's all been great, even the "Sandwich Sprinkle," which is not something I would typically buy. Man, I was skeptical, too, but was sooooo wrong.
Re: “Noshing Around”
Penzey's is a god-send. They have the most complete collection of spices anyone could think of, good quality and better prices. For the neophytes out there, when I started to buy Penzeys spices, I thought the blends were a way to increase margin on a commodity product. Was I wrong. the blends are the best thing in the store, the Arizona Blend is the absolute best SW spice you will ever use.
Re: “Noshing Around”
We have had to buy our Penzey's spices when making the trek to Scottsdale. It is so wonderful that they are in Tucson.
Re: “Noshing Around”
I'm looking forward to a trip to the Penzeys store- their vindaloo blend turns ordinary chicken/potatoes/onion into something really special. I've been ordering spices from them for years.

Oops! The Rhino Pub was at 1118 E. Sixth St. Thanks for pointing that out; we'll get it fixed.
Re: “Noshing Around”
Just discovered Penzeys spices this weekend. Woot.
Does Congress Street extend east as far as 1118? That's around Mountain Avenue.

Looking forward to the Three and a Half Brothers Cafe. Always interested in finding breakfast places that make pancakes other than buttermilk. We go to Good Egg 3x a week while we're there in the winter to get whole-grain cakes.
Re: “Noshing Around”
Why no more detailed coverage of the Iron Chef competition? What was the secret ingredient? What did both chefs prepare? What were the judges scores? No pictures? I am disappointed - I would have expected some pics, coverage, even video in the Range or on Journal Broadcast Group's Iron Chef site.
Re: “Noshing Around”

Re: “Noshing Around”
We stopped by Frosty Jake's today, after driving quite a distance cross town. They are open- but they are not open.
The man explained, We are a nighttime stand. Only open 5-9 pm. Told us to come back then.
The hours are confusing to us- middle of a hot day in Tucson is a great time for a cold treat.
But, no custard for us. Bummer.
Re: “Noshing Around”
I went there while it was open last week; arrived at the drive up to find the sign not visible; went to the window and waited about five minutes until finally a woman came to open it and take my order. She shared with me that they "don't have their stuff together yet" then took at least another five minutes to produce a four ounce vanilla custard. She took my money, came back to the window with my change with a mouth full of food and stated things would be better on my return visit. There won't be one......
Re: “Noshing Around”
I just drove over to Frosty Jakes and it was closed
Re: “Noshing Around”
Something Sweet Dessert Lounge will remain open after all! :)
Re: “Noshing Around”
Adam, thanks for your update today. Glad you read the comments.
Re: “Noshing Around”
There's a new frozen custard place opening "soon" at the old Hamburger Stand on Grant near Country Club.
Re: “Noshing Around”
It's anchored in the online chow section in the box labeled "Regarding Food Truck Diaries." Enjoy!
Re: “Noshing Around”
OK, smartguy, how does one find the eight food truck comments?
Re: “Noshing Around”
Vito's makes great food. The pizza was very tasty. True New York style. Best I had in Tucson. The Italian Sandwich was really good, enough for two people. Made with delicious Boars Head meat on a Viro's italian roll with italian dressing...the perfect italian.

It looks like the La Salsa on the SW corner of Campbell and Fort Lowell is shuttered.
