The Kolache Cafe (Mesa, AZ)

About every six months or so, I’ve been visiting my parents in Arizona, either to help them out, or as a short visit on the way to various backpacking trips. Near my parents house in Arizona is a former Arby’s that has held a good number of different small restaurants in its post-Arby’s existence. Until a few years ago, this was a semi-failing location of Dickey’s Barbecue, which is one of the poorer renditions of Texas Barbecue. But then Dickey’s closed, and the place reopened as a location of the Phoenix-area chain The Kolache Cafe, a bakery chain that specialized in another Texas-specific food: the Kolache.

Local metro Phoenix pizza restaurant closes all its locations

Fly Bye , a Sam Fox concept (owned by Cheesecake Factory since 2019) that served Detroit-style pizza and wings, closed both its locations after six years. The announcement was posted to Instagram on Nov. 11. According to the post, the concept launched six years ago as a ghost kitchen and grew to two brick-and-mortar locations. "We could not be more proud of our team and the journey we've been on together over the years, especially when it comes to the relationships with the neighborhoods we've been fortunate to serve," the post read. "Thank you for making us part of your lives over the last few years." Fans can still access the food at Doughbird on the Fly window at Doughbird's Seventh Street and Missouri Avenue location. Fly Bye began in 2020 as a to-go window. Both the Arcadia and Desert Ridge brick-and-mortar shops opened in 2022. Fox stepped down from the restaurant side in November to focus on his Author & Edit Hospitality group, the hotel arm behind The Global Ambassador in Phoenix and The Twelve Thirty Club in Nashville. Fans reacted with disappointment "First Tres Leches, and NOW FLY BYE?!?!" commented Albert Rivera. Bryan Aman-Antonio wrote: "I'm so sad

Some folks in the Valley are already getting ready for Christmas, and you may want to get a head start on your tamale order. Why it matters: Tamales can — and certainly should — be enjoyed year-round, but they're also a Christmas staple, which means there can be quite the rush at your favorite tamale place. State of play: Christmas pre-ordering is now open at the Tamale Store . The north Phoenix institution is at 15842 N. Cave Creek Road, at the intersection with Greenway Parkway. Flashback: The Tamale Store began as a small family business 18 years ago, selling tamales at farmers markets and local grocery stores. Eight years ago it moved into its current location, which is both storefront and restaurant. "We're a family business. It's my mom's recipe. She absolutely was obsessed with tamales, still to this day," co-owner Pauline Alvarado tells Axios. Zoom in: The store has 20 varieties of frozen tamale with a rotating menu at the restaurant that changes daily or sometimes hourly depending on what they sell out of.
