The restaurant pick of the week was the Jamaican, Breadfruit, in downtown Phoenix. There are several vegan items and I think just about anyone would love to try this, but beware of the 'jerk' if you don't like spice. Another 'must go again soon' because I wanted to eat everything on the menu. Each dish is light, diverse in flavor and texture, and just indescribably good. Great selection of drinks to sample... fresh carrot juice and a rum-spiced hibiscus-jicama-ginger. I never thought I'd love cooked avacado, but the way it mingled with the plantain and mango chutney was magical. That's right, I said it... magic!
It's great to see more diverse cuisine popping up in the downtown area, especially a "destination" restaurant like The Breadfruit, which I would drive out of my way to get. It's out of the way of the busiest parts of downtown, so parking shouldn't be a problem even during a baseball game, but close enough that someone could pop in for a bite to eat, then hop on the lightrail. It's definitely a great addition to this ever-developing area.

An also-must-try-again... my favorite carrot juice. Thick, rich, and gone in about a minute - order two because after everyone tries yours after wimping out of ordering their own, you won't have enough left for you.
