Durants has temporarily closed. New owners take over the legendary steakhouse Durants opened 75 years ago and now, new owners "intend to bring a renaissance" to the iconic Phoenix restaurant.

Makes me squirm a bit. A-okay with a little โ€œdusting offโ€โ€”the place is in need of some TLC and especially hasnโ€™t been the same since 2020/Covidโ€”but thereโ€™s a balance. Few places in Phoenix trigger the sentimental like Durantโ€™s. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/restaurants/... Cc: @phoenixnewtimes.com #phx

'Mind-blowing': 15 Arizona chefs, restaurants are James Beard Award semifinalists Little Rituals, Chilte and Lom Wong are among the semifinalists for 2025 James Beard Awards, including Best Chef โ€” Southwest and Best New Bar.

Quite a supersized list of James Beard semifinalists from Arizona this year. Great to see the local love, but, clearly, impacts of democratizing the voting process are being seen. Interesting! #JBF (Cc: @azcentral.com) www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
