"Arguing for Pho-Sco: Craig Outhier (reviews restaurants for the&nbsp;Arizona Republic&nbsp;and covers dining and lifestyle news for&nbsp;Phoenix&nbsp;magazine). We concede that the best Mexican restaurant in Arizona might be Tucson\u2019s Cafe Poca Cosa, but our concessions end there. By every other important standard\u2014fine dining, ethnic eats, chef-owned gastropubs, omakase masterminds\u2014the Phoenix-Scottsdale metro tag team beats the stuffing out of rinky-dink Tucson. You can find a decent street taco in Tucson. You might even hunt down a hip New American grill where the chef dreams up some credible culinary use for the cholla buds he picked behind his condo. But here\u2019s the sad truth: You\u2019ll exhaust Tucson\u2019s reservoir of interesting restaurants in about a month. Not so in Pho-Sco, where a critical mass of award-winning culinary talent powers the region\u2019s best food scene.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nArguing for Tucson: Edie Jarolim (Tucson editor for Zagat and contributing dining editor for&nbsp;Tucson Guide). David to Goliath: We\u2019re coming for you. Go ahead and let our sleepy cow-town image fool you, but while you\u2019ve spent your boom years grilling steaks for planeloads of sun-burned golfers, Tucson has been slow-cooking its way into culinary respectability. A new generation of energetic young chefs can whip up perfect steak frites from grass-fed local beef and purple Peruvian spuds, mix a mean ginger-infused margarita, and finish with a bracing tart-and-sweet prickly pear sorbet. Add expansive, smog-free Sonoran Desert vistas, and we\u2019ve got you L.A. wannabes to the north hog-tied. Bring it.\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
