o you’re visiting town and you’re feeling a bit hungry.

Foodwise, there’s plenty to check out in Flagstaff. Don’t just take our word for it, though. That’s what Tuscon Foodie had to say about our mountain town which has recently become regarded for its culinary culture. From the vegan Thai selection at Red Curry to thick burgers and Belgian style frites at Diablo Burger, Flagstaff has just about everything to delight the local food fanatic and traveling taste masters.

Sometimes with visitors’ guides such as these, it can be easy to highlight the big stuff.

Maybe you’ve heard of Karma Sushi. Maybe you’ve slurped on some ramen at SoSoBa, grabbed a slice at Fratelli Pizza or chowed down on some barbecue at Bigfoot BBQ. Those are all great things to do. What we’re hoping for with this list, however, is to shine a spotlight on places a little out of the way—the quiet gems that keep Flagstaff tasty.

New Jersey Pizza

Satchmo’s 2320 N. Fourth St. (928) 774-7292 All right, maybe you’ve heard of Satchmo’s, but its location is fairly inconspicuous, just east of downtown on Fourth Street, so we’re considering it a hidden gem. There’s a reason the Cajun-inspired barbecue joint took home last year’s Best of Flag recognition for best barbecue. Nowhere else in Flag are you going to find a better classic po’ boy sandwich (with Andouille sausage, blackened catfish style basa, shaved chicken and more), beef brisket, jambalaya or house seasoned chicharones. Vegetarians, fear not.

Satchmo’s offers the RVM, a locally sourced veggie patty. Don’t skip on the sides: smoked beans, sweet potato fries, mac and cheese, cast-iron cornbread and more, all with a Southern kick.

New Jersey Pizza 2224 E. Cedar Ave., Ste. #6 (928) 774-5000 Ignore the false divisions that have been established: New York vs. Chicago style, pineapple vs. anchovies, cold vs. hot. These are all petty things to keep us, the people, from recognizing the real threat: people who eat pizza with a fork. Yikes. Anyway, there are many places to get pizza in Flag, but we recommend heading to the east side for a slice at New Jersey Pizza. Not only are its slices worth the drive, owner and founder Marco Agostini has remained dedicated to sourcing his ingredients locally, “from the small family farmers, ranchers, artisan cheese makers, laborers and cooks of the world, whose endless work, wisdom and passion make it possible to bring this food to the table. May the fruits of our labor be a shining example of the way every human being deserves to be fed.” Now ain’t that just sweet?

Tres Amigos Food Truck

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ

Tres Amigos Food Truck 2532 E. 7th Ave. (928) 856-9212 New to Flagstaff’s food truck scene is Tres Amigos. Rolling into town this past April, Tres Amigos has found a home in Flagstaff’s east side neighborhood at the Sunnyside Market of Dreams. Tres Amigos co-owner Alejandro Hernandez says it was fun to see people try their tacos, burritos and carnitas for the first time during their grand opening. The asada and pastor grilled meat dishes have proved to be the most popular menu items so far. “We make a delicious and flavorful marinade for our meat,” Hernandez said.

“We prep and cook every single item like if

we were at home with family.” Other items include quesadillas, mole and cheese enchiladas, tortas and super nachos.

Aloha Hawaiian BBQ 16 E. Rte. 66, Ste. #103 (928) 774-3922 Sometimes Aloha Hawaiian BBQ is unfairly regarded as late-night cuisine, best after a long night and a few drinks, but really it’s amazing any time of day, imbibing or not. The restaurant is tucked away in the alley by fellow favorites SoSoBa and Flagstaff Brewing Company, but stop in if you have the chance and order a plate of delicious chicken katsu, kalua pork with cabbage, co-

conut shrimp or try a handful of items with the seafood BBQ combo. Plates come with white rice and a macaroni salad that is just sinful.

Healthier options include grilled salmon and island fish which come with brown rice and a salad. Top it off with a boba tea or smoothie.

Morning Glory Cafe 115 S. San Francisco St. (928) 774-3705 One of Flagstaff’s true hidden gems, Morning Glory Cafe is nestled between Southside Tavern and the Northern Arizona Yoga Center.

Its brunch menu is only available on Saturday and Sunday and features everything from breakfast tacos and French toast to blue corn pancakes and tamales. Established in 1985

by Maria Ruiz, Morning Glory strives to be a zero-waste establishment, composting all its food scraps to grow its own vegetables and sourcing from local farmers. Serving up delicious local, organic and vegan breakfast and lunch, Morning Glory is one of the most underrated eateries in town.

n the treetops just outside of Flagstaff, adventurers challenge the limits of the body and mind as they maneuver obstacles up to 60 feet above the ground.

Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course (FLG X) is located within Fort Tuthill County Park, a hub for all things outdoors and community-oriented. The adventure course opened in 2012 and has been steadily growing ever since.

“Word of mouth is our biggest

advocate,” said manager Rachel Buzzard. “Every year we get busier and busier.”

FLG X added a zip line course in 2016 which features nine routes and provides an opportunity for people to get involved even if they don’t want to tackle the adventure courses.

“It’s really something for everybody,” Buzzard said.

She also points out that Fort Tuthill is open to the public, allowing friends and family members to follow along from the ground and

The Kid’s Adventure Course is open to young adventurers ages 7 to 11, as long as they meet the 4’7” height requirement with their arms raised above their head. Those ages 12 to 15 can take on the adult course with accompaniment from a guardian. Visitors ages 16 and up can go through the adult

course without supervision. There is a weight limit of 275 pounds to ensure a proper harness fit, and height requirement of 5’11” with arms raised above their head.

All children must be accompanied by an adult while on the Kid’s Adventure Course. This route can be completed up to three times for the price of admission, and allows adventurers to build up their physical skills and confidence.

The adult courses range in dif-

ficulty from green, indicating minimal elevation and skill necessary to complete, to black, located at the highest elevation and requiring advanced skill to complete. Each of the five courses contains a mixture of 10 to 17 different obstacles such as rope swings, hanging nets, suspended bridges and more, with zip lines connecting each.

No matter how far they make it in the end, Buzzard said people tend to come away from the experience with a sense of accomplishment.

“You can stop wherever you want on the course,” she said. “It gets harder and harder as it goes, and people know that, but yet they push themselves past that.”

FLG X values safety above all else. Guests are asked to arrive on time to allow employees to go over the rules and safety equipment with them before beginning on the green course.

While the park is open rain/snow or shine, severe weather conditions will temporarily close the course. As monsoon season gets underway, close lightning strikes, high winds and heavy rain may force closures. Guests who wait longer than an hour following these closures can be issued a rain check to return when the weather is more ideal.

Environmental consciousness is also high on FLG X’s list of priorities—the obstacles and connecting platforms remain in place through tension rather than holes drilled in the trees.

For these reasons and more, FLG X is a popular destination for anyone looking to test their limits and have unique fun with friends or family. During the summer especially, time slots fill up fast.

“Definitely book a reservation,” advised Buzzard. “Wear close-toed shoes, eat a good breakfast. You’re going to be active; you’re going to be at 7,000 feet. Just expect to have a good time and be challenged. It’s not like anything else you’ll do with your family.”

This year’s Arizona Highland Celtic Festival will be held at Fort Tuthill County Park.

BEN SHANAHAN, ARIZONA DAILY SUN

HERITAGE

ummer is practically synonymous with festivals in Flagstaff. There’s the Flag-centric Hullabaloo in May and Art in the Park in July, but it’s the heritage festivals that do their part to blend art and music with history, celebrating the rich cultures that make up our community.

Two heritage festivals coming up in the next few weeks are local favorites that keep people coming back year after year.

Arizona Highland Celtic Festival Saturday and Sunday, July 20-21 The Northern Arizona Celtic Heritage Society was founded in 1997 as a way to promote and preserve Celtic culture, and part of that is its annual Celtic festival which has been going strong for 22 years. The nonprofit puts on the Arizona Highland Celtic Festival as a means to educate the public on the language, traditions and art of the Celtic people, both ancient and modern. It brings people together year after year to celebrate where they’ve come from.

“You never see more hugs than at a Celtic event,” said Jude McKenzie, NACHS business manager.

“That’s what’s so wonderful; it creates a sense of community.”

The festival features several known and loved staples, including music from The Knockabouts, The Wicked Tinkers, The Ploughboys and Cinnamon Twist. For The Knockabouts, they focus on having a bawdy good time as much as staying true to their roots.

“We’ve always stuck to being very traditional,” said John McGreTAYLOR MAHONEY, ARIZONA DAILY SUN gor, one of the band’s founders. “A Re-enactors from the Highland Rogues give a demonstration of traditional lot of Irish and Celtic bands would black powder rifles during the 18th annual Arizona Highland Celtic Festival start adding electric this, electric in 2015.

that. My philosophy was that everything goes back around and a lot of people still want traditional sounds.”

Along with traditional sounds, festival goers can enjoy activities including Highland Dance, Scottish Athletics and Tug o’ War. This year will also see a Celtic Kids Corner, Celtic geology exhibit, Celtic societies, genealogical research tent, plants of the Celtic regions tent, Scottish clan information and much more. Reenactments are always a big part of the festival and those, alongside workshops on Celtic music and whiskey tastings, will also be featured.

The festival is switching venues this year, moving to Fort Tuthill County Park where it will have Vivian Descheny demonstrates how to weave a rug on a loom. This year’s more space for all its popular Navajo Festival of Arts & Culture will feature artist demonstrations, attractions. Parking is free, and traditional food and more. well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Fort Tuthill is located at 2446 Fort Tuthill Loop, just off the I-17 at the Pulliam Airport Exit. Visit www. nachs.info/festival.shtml for more information.

Navajo Festival of Arts & Culture Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3-4 Flagstaff was built, and exists, on Native land. Celebrating Diné culture Aug. 3-4, the 70th annual Navajo Festival of Arts & Culture features artistry and lectures by award-winning Navajo artists, speakers and musicians.

Hosted at the Museum of Northern Arizona, the festival is one of contemporary and traditional Navajo art, artist demonstrations, food, heritage programs and a number of performances and lectures. Last year’s lecture topics included Native feminism and water rights with entertainment featuring performances by The Plateros and The Benally Family Dancers.

Spend your weekend in the cool pines and immerse yourself in the artistry and cultural traditions of award-winning Navajo artists during this year’s celebration, which will host more than 80 artists selling silver work, weaving,
