Foodies like us and the City of Scottsdale is throwing a “Trolley Dine Around” this Thursday, December 3rd!  It will be like a progressive dinner at three different “hot” dining spots and the trolley will take you to each one!  It starts off at my favorite Scottsdale restaurant, Metro Brasserie for a Puree of potato soup, bacon topped, creme fraiche, chives and lardons.  Then we’ll hop on the Trolley “ding ding”, and head to Cafe Forte where we’ll get to have Cafe Meatloaf, burgundy wine sauce, caramelized onions, smashed golden potatoes tossed with corn & fresh veggies for the entree.  Back upon the trolley we will arrive at AZ 88 where there will be a selection of desserts for us to choose.
 

If you’re not familiar with Foodies Like Us, please allow me to introduce you.  Foodies Like Us is a company formed by two great friends, Susie Timm and J. E. Pizarro, former bankers who decided to risk it all to start a concept that was close to their hearts.  They offer “…unique and affordable culinary adventures to the home cook.”  They are both highly passionate about food and it shows!  I had the pleasure of being introduced to Susie a few years ago through our husbands and was so happy to meet her, J. E.,  and other people in this area who are so into dining and cooking like myself.  Check out their website and blog for tons of great foodie information.

The Dine Around on Thursday is sold out, but that does not  mean you still can’t hop on and experience it for yourself.  Foodies will be hosting two more dine arounds  with different restaurant stops, but same concept.  I am an avid “Foodies” event goer, so you may see me at all three!  Be there or be not so culinarily cool.
