RUBEE TUESDAY: Bourbon and Bones Chophouse, Paul Martin's American Grill, Lom Wong, Arboleda
A weekly feature, I publish Rubee Tuesday as a photo recap of my recent drinking and dining adventures. You can read past Rubee Tuesdays HERE.
Friday, October 27: Bourbon & Bones Chophouse (Peoria). Back to our neighborhood Bourbon & Bones for old favorites (like beef carpaccio, French onion soup, filet with cheesy potatoes and creamed spinach) and new (fried pesto shrimp and ceviche).
Monday, October 30: Paul Martin’s American Grill (Scottsdale). Though the Scottsdale location of this steakhouse owned by Paul Fleming (developer of restaurants such as PF Chang’s, Fleming’s, and Pei Wei), has been around for more a decade, it was our first time. Thank you to the team for inviting us!
It’s easy to see why it’s so popular - cozy, warm vibe, friendly service, and a scratch seasonal menu featuring sustainable seafood and signature steaks grilled over mesquite wood. My top three favorites? Salt & pepper shrimp with pesto aioli, cheddar biscuits with thyme-honey butter, and the juicy blackened ribeye.
Wednesday, November 1: Lom Wong (downtown Phoenix). Mom and dad were craving Thai food so we were off to award-winning Lom Wong for another fantastic experience.

Thursday, November 2: Arboleda (Scottsdale Quarter). We were invited to a VIP Media Event to kick off patio season at Arboleda. If you’re caught up on my Rubee Tuesdays, you’ll see that I’ve mentioned Arboleda as a personal favorite many times, and now you’ll want to add it to your “best outdoor dining” list!
