Steak 44

Each of Steak 44’s steaks are cut in-house daily by a master butcher using USDA Prime grade beef and the highest-grade Domestic Wagyu.

Everything from a fried egg to foie gras can also be added on top for an additional charge. $67 and up. Steak44.com

 

Seafood Boil

Each item is boiled, and then combined with a butter-based spicy sauce along with potatoes, corn, sausage, and seasonal vegetables. The feast is delivered tableside and poured on covered tables to the delight of guests, who have been given bibs to add to the experience. Prices vary. AngryCrabShack.com

 

U.S. Versus Japan

Bourbon Steak

This duo of A5 options—a rarity in Arizona—pits 3 ounces of imported Japanese A5 that is made by the world’s top beef masters, who follow traditional methods to produce beef that is recognized around the world for its marbling, velvety texture, and sweet flavor, against 3 ounces of the highest possible grade of American ribeye. It is the ultimate man-food face-off. $168. ScottsdalePrincess.com

Hangover Burger

Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers

This meaty marvel starts with a half-pound of hand-formed ground chuck that is grilled to perfection before being topped with pepper jack cheese, sugar-cured bacon, caramelized onions, grilled tomatoes, and a fried egg. It is served on the guest’s choice of bun, along with salty, hand-made chips. $15.50. ColdBeers.com

 

Wagyu Tomahawk

J&G Steakhouse at The Phoenician

Perfectly seared inside a 1,100-degree combination grill and oven, this prehistoric-looking, 30-oz. Wagyu wonder is served still sizzling atop a heated salt block that is dramatically wheeled to one’s seat and carved-to-order tableside. $132. JGSteakhouseScottsdale.com

BBQ Combo Platter

Trapp Haus BBQ

Award-winning pitmaster Phil “the Grill” Johnson delights in slow-smoking everything from brisket to pulled pork. A best bet to sample his hearty delicacies is via his combo platter, which includes a quarter-pound of two meats, as well as two sides. Hungrier? There is also a larger option, with a half-pound of mouth-watering meat. $19.99 and up. TrappHausBBQ.com

Mashed Pizza

PHX Beer Co.

This mash-up of a pizza and potato skins is somehow both the ultimate party food and ultimate comfort food in one. It uses both the base of a traditional pizza and melty mozzarella, but trades red sauce for mashed red skin potatoes. In addition, bacon, green onions, and garlic puree take the place of more traditional toppings. $15 and up. PHXBeerCo.com

Baby Back Pork Ribs

Modern Oysterbar Chophouse

While the dry-aged steak at Modern will blow your mind, don’t sleep on these dry-rubbed and smoked pork ribs served with both rich coleslaw and extra crispy fries. The meat is so tender that it practically falls of the bone. $28. ModernOysterbarChophouse.com

 

Prime Rib

Bourbon & Bones

Available in limited quantities on Sundays and Mondays, Bourbon & Bones’ prime rib is slow roasted, and served with a twice-baked potato, seasonal vegetable, and topped with rich, savory au jus.  It is available in three cuts: an 8-oz. “Old Town cut,” 12-oz. “3rd Ave. cut,” and a 16-oz. “Buddha cut.” $41 and up. BourbonAndBonesAZ.com

Southern Shrimp and Grits

The Macintosh

Though Executive Chef Christopher Collins grew up in Arizona, he trained in the South. The result is a dish with equal parts Southern and Southwestern flair, as the grits are cooked with jalapeños and cheddar cheese, and the shrimp is sautéed with smoky, spiced Tasso ham relish before being served with grilled focaccia for dipping. $22.
