2. Zucchini Bread Waffle at The Gladly
Goodbye, churro waffle. Say hello to its replacement, a dish that is both sweet and savory, with crunchy pecans, Vermont maple syrup and rich whipped cream. Diners might forget they are eating a serving of vegetables. 2201 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix, 602.759.8132
3. Eggs in Purgatory at Twisted Grove
Scottsdale The name does not quite fit this heavenly creation, combining grilled cheese Reggiano, San Marzano tomatoes, short ribs and a sunny-side up egg. Dip the grilled cheese or eat each component separately—no judgment here. 8220 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale, 480.699.0811
4. Banana Ricotta Pancakes at Hearth ’61
Sweet, silky and totally carb-o-licious, these decadent discs come with enough caramel pistachio compote—and bacon, of course—to make diners forget they had plans for the rest of the day. 5445 E. Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley, 480.624.5400
