| - I can't believe that Culinary Dropout is rated so low. Honestly, that sort of lends weight to the commonly-held belief that people in Arizona don't know food. That is a terrible shame, though, because the Phoenix metropolitan area certainly does have some of the best food I have ever had in the country.
Whenever possible, I try to give a restaurant a couple shots before giving it a review. Since I don't live in Scottsdale it hasn't been easy to get back to Culinary Dropout for a second visit, but it was certainly worth the effort yet again.
Everyone raves about the "Soft Pretzels & Provolone Fondue", but it certainly lives up to the hype. If I lived in Scottsdale, this would be the joint to gather with my friends for happy hour EVERY DAY just to eat these pretzels.
Personally, I have at least tasted the "Shaved Prime Rib Dip", "Pork Belly Cubano", "Gorgonzola Chicken Salad", "Fried Chicken", "Kurobuta Pork Ribs", "Bistro Steak" and "Caramel Corn". Every single one of these dishes is generously portioned, packed with flavor, and unpretentious. How refreshing to find a place with a menu broad enough to satisfy a large group of friends with varied palates at a really reasonable price.
The drinks are amazing. Have them all, but start with "Dirty School Girl" and "Smashed Irishman".
And don't forget the pretzels...
