rev:text	5/23/13 I bookmarked Renegade a few months ago, but didn't have the inclination to go until I decided to try takeout from Stone & Vine and spotted Renegade next door. I already planned to try Renegade after Restaurant Week ended, so imagine my surprise to find an invitation via text last night to attend today's Grand Opening VIP Tasting! (I'd just arrived from a terrific RW dinner at Sassi when I received the text.) I received the confirmation email this morning asking guests to arrive in casual attire. Arrived before the place started to get crowded. Spied a couple of old acquaintances, and we decided to sit together. (Had a great time catching up with you, Chris and Heather!) Glad we moved to a table close to the musicians playing at the front- Jared Blackstone sang and played guitar, while another would join in on keyboards from time to time. He did covers ranging from Rob Thomas and Johnny Cash to Pearl Jam and The Beatles. So good was the music tonight that Heather and I went and bought CDs. I hope he's on regular rotation at Renegade... Before moving to the table, we sat at the bar, where Heather and I immediately were given ribbon-tied plastic bags filled with fruit-infused rum cocktails finished with Kool-Aid. I couldn't have any, so I gave mine to Chris. At the table, Heather ordered a glass of Earthquake Zin, and I a Rosemary Margarita, which had an ice cube made up of a rosebud and rosemary sprigs! So delicate and very pretty, yet packed quite a punch! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=_fcCyNNVYAMPDoCmi9NkHw#_fcCyNNVYAMPDoCmi9NkHw Here's what we sampled... Venison lollipops dusted with dry mole http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=4KVXnXAm8j3t-5VBet-dEg#4KVXnXAm8j3t-5VBet-dEg Kale + chard kimchi Braunschweiger pate http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=zCmu8ZtaPwVtHjFnUQl-rA#zCmu8ZtaPwVtHjFnUQl-rA Heirloom tomato, soy beans and crab gazpacho http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=QhJZy8WOJTojb9f3x9Dj8w#QhJZy8WOJTojb9f3x9Dj8w Mini-waffle cone filled with mango pudding http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=GRzQZJ7h1kzxHAp0BW7Gxw#GRzQZJ7h1kzxHAp0BW7Gxw Crab mac 'n cheese http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale#w1v6-PF0tYC5NfZ3RfXeyQ Black bean hummus & raw veggies http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=GBDdAENiERWBeQJnZGLYUQ#GBDdAENiERWBeQJnZGLYUQ (too sour!) MOD 'N Sour pork wings and Slider "MODS" Kobe beef and bufalo sweet chili sloppy joes with Velveeta http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=RLohz8wYTXLR8e-ZCouEMg#RLohz8wYTXLR8e-ZCouEMg Flavored goat cheese cream under smoke-fennel pollen essence http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/renegade-by-mod-scottsdale?select=TCq1A2-aLJTJD0ABfZsXGQ#TCq1A2-aLJTJD0ABfZsXGQ My faves were the venison lollipops, kimchi pate (on duck-scented black bread!), pork wings (not too sour or sweet- perfect!), Kobe beef sloppy joe sliders, mango pudding mini-cones, crab mac 'n cheese, and of course, the winner of the evening-- flavored goat cheese cream served on ashtrays! The first serving I had, I concentrated on the different flavors and textures of the sweet dish-- smoky fennel mixing with the creamy goat cheese, and the nutty fennel pollen amidst the silky goat cheese cream- oh la la! We were practically begging for more! When we finally got seconds of it, a server actually brought out a covered smoking tray, stopped in front of our table, waited till it dawned on us what we were about to receive, and then lifted the cover, and out drifted smoke! This time, the fennel pollen tasted even smokier than the first batch, and then I finally had to stop and shake my head, because darn it, I'm eating out of an ashtray! I'm sure it painted quite a picture to see me, a non-smoker who abhors the habit (I work in a smoke-infested environment), eating out of an ashtray with glee! We each took a parting gift of Mole Gold 24K gold-infused EVOO and a set of headphones in a paint can on our way out, and I asked the artist I'd passed a couple of times on my way to the restroom, he had an unfinished canvas next to him, if he was responsible for some of the artwork adorning the walls; he said yes. He is Lalo Cota, and he's painted some of the murals here, as well as the ceiling of one of the dining rooms, and has done artwork at PHX's District American Kitchen and Wine Bar. I shall return! p.s. Also tried a tough pork belly and two Big Azz burger lollipops (one good, the second not so).
