From dough whisperer Chris Bianco’s latest project to gooey Chihuahuan quesadillas on heirloom flour tortillas, here’s where to eat in Arizona’s Valley of the Sun

Phoenix is at the nexus of one of the fastest-growing counties in America. As the city has changed, the restaurant scene has evolved too, driven largely by homegrown restaurants expanding to new locations and treating diners to new concepts.

Once a land of citrus and steaks, the metro area has become an engaging home to a diverse range of cuisines. In the sprawling desert city and its surrounding towns, notable recent openings have landed all over the gastronomic map. There’s a seafood joint built on harpoon-caught swordfish (Chula Seafood Uptown Plaza), a butcher-smoker-chef plating wild riffs on classics (Hush Public House), and a giant downtown biergarten from one of the country’s strangest and most progressive breweries (Arizona Wilderness DTPHX).

As it continues to grow, morph, and expand, metro Phoenix constantly surprises diners with new places to eat and drink. Here are the restaurants to get excited about right now.
