Good Day and Happy New Year!!!!! Is everyone settled in, belts buckled and ready to go? I hope so as we are in for a wild ride in 2011. This is a time for new beginnings, new opportunities, new everything. We should all be ready to hit the ground running and go forward charging for change or making things better.
Thanks again to all the supporters and those taking the time to visit this campaign. Making a difference and having a cause greater than one's self is something, if you have the energy and the desire, that everyone should think about. Continuing the journey of supporting local businesses and the economy is the name of the game here. Since everyone has to eat or meet and possibly network, I have found that Phoenix is a wonderful resource of great restaurants that offer much more than just great food. Great service and atmosphere add to the menu and make a place that much more memorable.
I've visited Ticoz Resto and Bar http://www.ticozaz.com/Ticoz_Resto-Bar.html more than once. There is a reason for that. The menu is dynamite and the service is spectacular.....and definitely worthy of multiple visits. I still haven't yet tried dessert because I am so satisfied by the happy hour appetizers and dinner I never have room for more. They have a great bar and sitting area if you don't want a heavy meal and just want to have a drink and relax with small chit chat. When the weather is warmer they have a lovely outdoor seating area where you can enjoy the quality of space and time. Inside seating provides for an elegant setting and a great location to host small or medium size parties for your friends, family or business associates.
If I haven't said it enough already, the menu http://www.ticozaz.com/Ticoz_Lunch_%26_Dinner_Menu.html is full of great freshly made items such as the Ticoz Guacammus and Shrimp Ceviche. As the menu goes for miles with even weekend brunch items, I think it will take a several returns just to master every dish. The dessert temptation will remain unfulfilled for now but it will be a quest I hope to overcome before the summer time. Not only does Ticoz provide for a wonderful setting and fabulous meals, but they also support local businesses. What a find in the Phoenix central area!!!! Highly recommended and a visit to tickle your tummy with.

Special Note: As a consumer taking action means more than words because there are benefits to the consumer. Campaigns are meant to edify and celebrate others through referrals and genuine support. Often times it’s so easy to find individuals and consumers that don't necessarily see value in every purchase they make or dollar they spend places. And in this economy it really hurts even more when that value is perceived to be lost. But the businesses that suffer the most are the small to medium size ones, because that impact is greatest to them. I have always had the philosophy that if you like, love, or just really enjoy something you buy, food you eat, or something you drink you should show your appreciation for it. It is in that spirit that this blog is being promoted and developed.
