An Arizona-based food, beverage and travel writer since 2008, I launched this website in 2015 to document my culinary adventures, beverage escapades, gardening endeavors, and travel in the Phoenix area and beyond. Also find a comprehensive calendar of Phoenix-area food and drink-related events on my Events page.
Join Ocean Prime Phoenix on August 5 as they celebrate National Oyster Day with the coveted Pemaquid oyster. From the deep waters of Damariscotta River, Maine, Pemaquid Oysters are harvested from a point where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean, giving them plump, very firm meat which is mildly sweet with a clean, lemon zest flavor and solid brininess. Pemaquid Oyster, also known as the “Cadillac of Oysters” will be available for $22 per dozen.
