Visited Arizona with a couple of architect friends, so the Phoneix Library had to be a stop :) The outside of the building isn't nearly as impressive as the inside. But wowie, when you're inside, it's like a whole other world. The details and attention to spacing are amazing. Not to mention it's a LEED certified building (green building) which is pretty cool. If not to check out books, you gotta at least check out the building.

They didn't invent the chicken sandwich, they just made it better. Much better! This location is right next to a McD's an Arby's and a couple of sub places, so it's always hopping busy. Never stressed, the crew here seems to do a solid job and they've yet to mess me up. I don't want to look under the covers and find out if Chik-Fil-A is any healthier than McDonald's. I'm just going to continue in my intentional bliss that it's chicken and therefore it has to be better than anything that Mickey D's has to offer. La la la la! Not listening! Best invention at the Fil-A? Waffle fries! OMG, perfection. I could eat these all day long. One tip. I really can't stand that pickle on my chicken sandwich. Even if I take it off, the taste is still there. They'll make you a fresh one if you ask. I just always forget to ask. Argh! Other than seeing Dave Thomas in the Wendy's commercials, the Chik-Fil-A "Cows" are the best fast food campain. Seeing them on billboards and in commercials with "Eat Mor Chikin" is always funny. Nicely done, guys!

It's not worth the hype. We went for a Brunch on a Tuesday w/ a large party. Reservations were made weeks ahead of time and we had a private room set aside for about 20+ ppl. The line was super long for Tuesday at 10.30!? and i felt bad bc there were ppl there waiting for a long time. We weren't allowed to go in until the ppl who made the reservation arrived. Once seated there was no friendly host or waitress to advise us of what was available or how things worked. Our waitress was clearly not enjoying her job that day and it should as she shoveled water glasses onto our table, reached across us, and did not bother to apologize. There was not a huge selection of food. Everything LOOKED beautiful but tasted a little on the bland side. We were there for brunch but caught the beginning portions of lunch - still no improvement on the food. Best thing I ate was a croissant bc it was warm and fresh from the oven, slightly crunchy on the outside - yum. But sad that in a buffet so fancy and acclaimed; i had a good croissant and that was it.

Half an hour for waffles. Never again! And the waitstaff disappeared the whole time. Would have had better luck going to a fast food joint.
