The Grind
Phoenix, Arizona
Think baking a pizza at 1,000 degrees is crazy? How about cooking a burger. The Grind uses custom, only ones of their kind coal-fired ovens to cook their bun-bound masterpieces at or above that sweat-inducing heat — and ground beef isn't the only meat to get the treatment. A quick look over the menu reveals chorizo, portobello, turkey, and chicken sandwiches, as well as mesquite-charred wings, asparagus, and both herbed and sweet potato fries. Wash it all down with one of their classic cocktails, craft beers, or — if you're not feeling the booze — either a draught root beer or handcrafted milkshake. And don't worry if you're a bit to far north to make the trip — there's a second location in north Scottsdale.
