Sweet Willie

I'll be through the area.

Had a wonderful meal awhile back with another FT'er at http://www.cowboyciao.com/

For both cities, I am up for any cuisine (just no Italian or Steakhouses)

Who's up for dinner &/or drinks?

Sadly, I was relocated from Phoenix last week. However, I'm going to bump this as Phoenix Dos are rare and Sweet Willie is a big FT name whose thread is deserving of page one.

MarshKing

I am fairly certain that I'll be in town (Tucson) that weekend. I'd be psyched to get together.

I'll be there during those days. I will be off for week due to D-Backs regular season is back. Because D-Backs will be away for week. So I will expect to be there. I will try to have ask obscure2k, canarsie, RSSrsvp, Spiff or Randy Petersen will have more opportunity to be ours invitations at dinners in PHX. I will let you know by the situations is going on during those days.

Sweet Willie

Thanks for the kind words CMK10

I know this is far out but have my airfare already purchased.

So I'm glad some FT folks are looking to get together.^

As stated I'm up for any cuisine except Italian & steakhouses, would like to get some cusine with southwest attitude.

MarshKing

If it turns out that we can't find Tucsonans who looking to get together, then I can easily drive up I-10 on Friday night for dinner in Phoenix.

Regarding Tucson restaurants, here are some initial options that come to mind. Even if there is not a Tucson DO, you should be able to find a good meal at any of these plces:
J Bar -- The more casual option from James Beard award-winning chef, Janos Wilder.
Cafe Poca Cosa -- A well-regarded Mexican restaurant, which has received a lot of favorable attention from a variety of magazines and newspapers.
El Charro Cafe -- A more classic style Sonoran Mexican food menu option. They too have received a fair amount of positive publicity.
Rosa's Mexican Food -- A local favorite for Mexican food. They do not spend a lot on advertising (or a website, apparently), but they've always been a popular choice among locals
Micha's -- In South Tucson, there are several outstanding options for Sonoran Mexican food. This is one of my favorites, but there are more.

If I am in town that day (Tucson), myself plus one would be interested.

Canarsie

I already have something scheduled for that weekend and will not be able to be in the Phoenix area, but thank you for thinking of me.

Sweet Willie

I for sure will be in the Tucson area on Sat night so there will be at least one person at the Saturday night dinner Do in Tucson

Thanks for listing those places MarshKing^, I'll do a little research on them.

Airfare is CHEAP on Saturdays LAS-PHX right now, so call me a maybe for April 17th.

ArizonaGuy

Count me in for Phoenix. Depending on where, when and who in Tucson, I could make the drive down for that too.

I loved Cowboy Ciao. I believe DH and I are in town ( Phoenix ) that weekend.

Would love to see you again.

oops just found out we are out of town --- sorry to miss you - perhaps we can have dinner during the workweek?

Jan

Sweet Willie

Cowboy Ciao was good, sorry you won't be around. Workweek will probably be tough but as the date gets closer, if something opens up, I'll certainly PM.

Looks like it is time to start an attendee list^

So unfortunately, you won't be in PHX for this time. Where I can expect see you somewhere else? Why you don't come stop by see me in ATL on March 3, 2010. I will let you know if I can get bookable the ticket for next available trip to get more MR. Can you come by at the gates during 2 hours layover. I will try to leave from FLL around 12:40pm instead of 1pm. I will visit to see my friend in FLL. I will have more opportunity to see you again.

Oh, why you don't fly there from ATL-FLL-ATL during same-day trip. I will flying redeye flight out of PHX-ATL-FLL. So I should to be arrived in ATL around 6am and my flight will be leave around 7:30am. So please do yourselves to book the ticket online for next trip out of ATL. Maybe I will sit right next to you on 757 aircraft.
