Wealth-audience food coverage of Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the Camelback Corridor — fine-dining openings, chef hires, James Beard noms, hotel restaurants, hospitality-group news.

Scottsdale's dining scene is one of the most concentrated wealth-audience restaurant markets in the Southwest. We cover the venues that matter: hotel restaurants at the Phoenician, Four Seasons, Mountain Shadows, Sanctuary on Camelback, and Andaz; restaurant groups (Fox, LGO, Genuine, Common Ground); and the chef moves and award cycles (James Beard, Michelin, Wine Spectator) that drive reservation demand. Margot Reyes writes the food beat.
