| - I flew out of Atlanta at 7:45 AM EST, and landed in Phoenix Sky Harbor at 10:45 MST. At around 2:30 PM, I was sitting in Phoenix Municipal Stadium watching Fall League baseball, and I realized that the last food I ate were airplane peanuts. In right field was an advertisement for Chompie's, and after acknowledging the hunger, it became all-consuming. I grew cranky, and my head began to throb. I was pleased when the game ended in seven innings due to a lack of pitchers or something, instead of disappointed at being denied a full game after coming from so far, but I was got-damn hungry, so I was out the gate and in my rental bee-lining to Chompie's.
The location is extremely easy to get to on the predictable grid-like roadways of Phoenix, and there's plenty of free parking, which starts this visit on the right foot. The interior is relatively clean, open, and welcoming to small groups or possibly families, with a good amount of seating available. There was no wait for me on a Friday afternoon, between lunch and dinner.
As much as I enjoy Man v. Food, and challenging everything that Adam Richman does, my track record isn't that great. That being said, I was tempted to undertake the infamous slider challenge, but the truth is that I've never had the sliders before, so I didn't even know if I would like them, let alone be capable of eating five pounds of them. So just a regular order of sliders was all I ordered.
When they arrived, I was in awe. These were no dinky Krystal/White Castle sliders that I associate with the food description slider. They were larger, fresher, and oh so beautiful. Before even taking the first bite, my expectations shot through the roof.
And my beautiful god, did they not disappoint. I swear I was on the cusp of tears after the first bite. I know I was starving when I ate, but they were just genuinely fantastic. I want to put a potato pancake on everything I eat from now on, because a combination of the tender meat and slightly crisp along the edges potato pancake made everything make sense. The gravy only made things better.
Words really can't express just how good these things were. When I tried, some inappropriate words came out of my mouth. Despite the fact that it was my first meal on my trip, and I was visiting for just a few days, I knew a second trip was in order. After the three sliders, I was pretty content, so I don't think I would've been able to finish off a challenge.
But I'll just swear by them regardless, and declare that the next time I'm out in Arizona, Chompie's is mandatory.
