AZ - 54: Kincaids - Phoenix - RUI, Phoenix

While creating their refined dining experience, the chefs at Kincaid's prove that the U.S. is wide and its dishes are deeply complex. Starting in the plain states, the menu tempts forks with grilled sirloin steaks smoked over Applewood and served alongside fries. The kitchen then heads east for New England–style clam chowder, then turns south until it hits on a Cajun-style coconut prawns. And the chefs aren't afraid to tweak recipes, either—in order to elevate meatloaf they turn it into sliders with olive mayonnaise, sweet hot mustard, and jalapeno-stuffed olives. International and fusion flavors also crop up on the menu, with dishes such as country-fried calamari with a bloody mary cocktail sauce.
