Additional Restaurants Coming to Scottsdale this Fall

Back in July, the AZFoodDude reported on some new restaurants moving into Scottsdale. Now, over the past couple weeks, there has been news of even more openings...

Twin Peaks - Claiming to have "Eats, Drinks, and Scenic Views," Twin Peaks is moving into the location where Earl's was for 14 years at 15784 N. Pima Rd. Scottsdale, AZ 85260. Slated to open later in the fall, this will be the first time the Twin Peaks Girls (the scenic views) will be serving up their American comfort food in Arizona. The Dallas-based restaurant has locations in five other states.

Inca's Peruvian Cuisine - AZCentral reports the restaurant serving up South American cuisine will be opening up their second restaurant at 7325 E. Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. Scottsdale, AZ 85254 this fall, with the original being in Tucson at 6878 E. Sunrise Dr. Tucson, AZ 85750. With such a diverse menu, comprising elements of pre-Inca, Inca, Spanish, Basque, African, Cantonese, Japanese, Italian, French and British cooking, Inca's Peruvian Cuisine is hoping to make its Peruvian cuisine a hit in Scottsdale.

Distrito - Looking to open in October, Distrito will be located in the newly named, Drinkwater Hotel (most recently called Hotel Theodore) at 4000 N. Drinkwater Blvd. Scottsdale, AZ 85251. Jose Garces, a winner on Iron Chef America last year, is being brought in by the owners of the hotel to get the ball rolling on the upcoming restaurant. There is already a Distrito in Philadelphia and the menu will be generally the same except, "Unique to Scottsdale...will be Mexican barbecue (barbacoa), slow-cooked meats roasted in a patio smoke pit. Garces is promising adobo-rubbed beef brisket; pork spare ribs with chipotle-cider mustard barbecue sauce; and Yucatán-style rotisserie chicken with an orange guajillo chile glaze."
