| - First trip to the new Pischke's spinoff was solid. For those of you who never had the privilege of visiting the original Scottsdale Pischke's when it was quality, it was a place with a beachy feel in Old Town Scottsdale that served unique sandwiches, salads and lahvosh "pizzas" all day long. They served light fare before it was hip. It was good stuff.
So drop your waah waahs about Palatte being gone (yes, I cried too) and be glad that someone's trying something old and new in that beautiful space.
We got the tons-of-shrimp and pesto lahvosh, which was luxurious and brought back memories. My Atomic Burger, with horseradish, was zingy and delicious, on a decent bun. Fries were great, chile-lime spiced. We also ordered the Fernando's Chicken sandwich, a tangle of wine, chicken, jack, tomatoes and pepperoncinis. Not as awesome as the burger, but good--I think the bread overwhelmed the fillins.
Service was friendly, food was piping hot. Atmosphere was fine, could probably use a little more character somehow but I don't know what that'd be. We'll definitely go back to try the salads, sandwiches, fish tacos, and a different lahvosh.
