Menus and McMahon: Eat something from all 50 states and never leave Phoenix

Each week, I like to give my suggestions for restaurants to visit around the Valley. This week, I was so impressed by an article in Phoenix Magazine, I decided to feature it in my segment. The article, titled “50 best places to Eat,” is a rundown of how to enjoy food from all 50 states without heading to Sky Harbor.

What a great idea, and what a great way to get around town. I have selected a few of my favorites from their article.
