This week the Jolly Diners headed to The Kettle Black Kitchen & Pub in downtown Phx. We started off with a Bavarian pretzel and mustard. It was very delicious. My mom ordered the soup of the day which was a cream chicken with bread. My sister had fish and chips, and I had curry fries and the black bean burger. Everything was great. This is a pub atmosphere with pub food made better than traditional pub fare by a creative chef. The music was loud and from the late 1960's and 70's. Sports played on flat screen televisions. Behind the bar, the liquor cabinets had picture frames around them. We arrived about 4:30 pm and the place earnestly came to life within an hour; filled by tens of customers having a good time. It's a place you can take a first date, or your buddies from the office. The Jolly Diners rated the Kettle Black a 4 out of 5.
