(Even though we don't know each other in real time...LOL!) MacAlpine's is one of the few truly cool things in Phoenix that hasn't been taken over by ironic hipsters. Monica, who owns the place, is really nice. I agree about the food, but the service is really good and it's fun to look around. Next time you are in Phoenix, send me an email! I could introduce you to my friend Marshall Shore, who is Phoenix' unofficial HIP Historian, like your Charles Phoenix. He knows all kinds of funky stuff you guys would dig! :-) JennyRedhead Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114807440333867098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-6432166053502505382013-04-25T20:02:32.647-07:002013-04-25T20:02:32.647-07:00Thanks Van!

For anything aluminum like that sifter, chuck it in a pot of boiling water for peace of mind. Something like a colander can just be scrubbed down real good, not many places to hide on something like that. Cast iron and be re seasoned in a super hot BBQ, and wood can be sanded down and soaked in mineral oil to make it good as new! My vintage madeline tins were my favorite kitchen find so far.

What a cool looking place (and the food looks and sounds yummy too)! I love that mirrored bar with all the soda fountain goodies, and in fact the whole interior looks beautiful. The addition of a vintage shop gives it an even higher score in my book!!! I think I will have to return to AZ at some point - maybe you should create a Wacky Tacky guidebook? :)Incendiary Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528321687210279974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215568693807799004.post-43423382968314832822013-04-23T21:15:54.254-07:002013-04-23T21:15:54.254-07:00So cool!
