The Farm at South Mountain Serves Some of the Best Breakfast We’ve Ever had.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are two indulgences we miss when we visit Tempe: New Mexico’s incomparable cuisine and the coffee we wake up to every morning. \u00a0My sister Anita assures us there are now several restaurants in the Valley of the Sun which serve New Mexican cuisine that is more than passable though we have yet to visit any of them. \u00a0While our landlords graciously provide a coffee pot, we don’t ever seem to remember to pack our beloved Douwe Egberts coffee from the Netherlands. \u00a0Okay, maybe that’s just an excuse to visit Black Rock Coffee<\/strong><\/a> in Tempe which serves a very good Mexican mocha.<\/p>\n

Aside from the coffee, what we enjoy most about Black Rock is being able to sit out on the patio–even in January–to enjoy that coffee. \u00a0It was during one such visit to Black Rock that we met Pastor Shelly Smith who leads the Full Gospel Deliverance Tabernacle<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0 Pastor Smith is a bear of a man with a heart of gold. \u00a0His ministry’s mission is to “reach those that need help<\/em>“–not only spiritually, but in helping them meet basic needs. \u00a0We’ve enjoyed coffee time with the great Pastor several times, usually at about 9:30AM. \u00a0By that time he’s either delivered or picked up truckloads of food or clothing for people in need.<\/p>\n

Morning Glory For Homestyle Breakfast<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While he’s a dynamic preacher, Pastor Smith is so down-to-earth, you might not realize until later how much Godly wisdom he’s imparting during routine conversations about current events and life in general. \u00a0 During one such conversation two years ago, we got around to discussing our favorite foods. \u00a0He shared how much he loves the red chile ribs at Albuquerque’s El Pinto<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0 He also encouraged us to visit The Farm at South Mountain, his favorite breakfast restaurant in \u00a0the Phoenix area. \u00a0 We finally connected with the great Pastor during an early January, 2024 morning.<\/p>\n

The Farm at South Mountain isn’t just a restaurant. \u00a0True to its name, it’s a working farm. \u00a0Moreover, it’s become an international agritourism destination that hosts more than 200 events and 100,000 visitors a year. \u00a0It’s a forerunner in Arizona’s farm-to-table movement as well as self-sustainability and locally created arts. \u00a0Owner Pat Christofolo, has been a leader in the local culinary scene for more than 30 years. With her expertise and passion in the sustainable culinary industry, she helped to develop the three current restaurants and two event venues on the property.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Now THIS is farm to table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s right. \u00a0The Farm at South Mountain houses three distinct restaurants. \u00a0The Farm is the original restaurant at on the complex. \u00a0This delightful lunch venue features a walk-up counter where guests can choose from an assortment of delicious sandwiches, fresh soups, seasonal salads, made-from-scratch baked goods, unique cocktails and a variety of beers. Lunches are packed in picnic baskets, perfect for exploring the grounds \u2014 choose a picnic table, or bring a blanket to relax under the shade of the trees in the Pecan Grove.<\/p>\n

Quiessence is The Farm’s upscale, fine-dining restaurant. \u00a0A romantic dining setting, Quiessence features a tasting menu showcasing freshly harvested vegetables, edible flowers, eggs, and herbs picked within hours from the on-site Soil and Seed Garden as well as locally sourced produce and meat. The refined-yet-rustic menu is rounded out with a delightful selection of cheeses, artisan bread, and handcrafted pasta\u2014plus desserts featuring fruit from the Farm\u2019s own trees.<\/p>\n

Loaded Japanese Sweet Potato<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Breakfast is served at The Morning Glory Cafe where we met Pastor Smith and his friend Bob Warrick. \u00a0Place your order at a counter and within minutes, you’ll be enjoying fabulous al fresco dining in a venue as wide and beautiful as the Farm’s lush grounds. \u00a0Relax in tranquility by the organic gardens and enjoy hot coffee and a refreshingly local menu featuring the market’s finest ingredients. \u00a0Seasonal omelettes, fresh baked goods and some of the most unique and delicious breakfast offerings in the Phoenix area are replete on the menu. \u00a0Breakfast at The Morning Glory is one of the best reasons for getting up in the morning. \u00a0Well, that and breaking bread and drinking coffee with Pastor Smith and Bob.<\/p>\n

2 January 2024<\/strong>: Obviously a gourmand after my own heart, Pastor Smith ordered a dish I couldn’t resist ordering, too–one that actually comes from a plant in the Morning Glory family. \u00a0The Japanese sweet potato<\/strong><\/em> (house-smoked brisket, caramelized onions, honey bacon crumbles, melted Cheddar, Chimayo aioli, fresh cilantro and pickled red onions topped with two eggs any style and served with two slices of lightly toasted Noble bread) was one of the best savory breakfast dishes I’ve ever had. \u00a0EVER! \u00a0Japanese sweet potatoes are not quite as sweet as sweet potatoes we loved in the Deep South. \u00a0Morning Glory’s chef whips the sweet potatoes until they’re \u00a0smooth and creamy in texture. \u00a0Butter and cinnamon are then stirred in. \u00a0That’s only the start of the magic.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Noble Bread Eggs & Brisket Sandwich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is so much going on in this sweet potato breakfast, not the least of which is absolute deliciousness. \u00a0Every ingredient plays off every other ingredient, a blend of sweet, savory piquant elements that bring out one anothers’ best. \u00a0The brisket (smoked on the premises) is of Texas brisket quality with a discernible, but not overwhelming smoke. \u00a0Honey-bacon crumbles counterbalance the salty, savory Cheddar while the sweet caramelized onions are a nice foil for the rich, creamy eggs over easy. \u00a0This is a confluence of fabulous flavors that come together to create a better “whole.”<\/p>\n

2 January 2024<\/strong>: In 2014, Chef Claudio Urciuoli (one of my culinary heroes) co-founded the oven-focused Noble Eatery under the banner of Noble Bread’s<\/strong><\/a> already established name. \u00a0 \u00a0Noble Eatery quickly became one of the Valley’s most popular dining destinations. \u00a0Though Chef Urciuoli left Noble Eatery, the bakery and eatery continue to thrive. \u00a0It made me very happy to hear my Kim order the Noble Bread brisket and eggs sandwich<\/strong><\/em>, a breakfast offering truly worthy of nobility. \u00a0 This sandwich is constructed with house-smoked brisket, caramelized onions, oven-dried tomatoes, New Mexico “chili” sauce and arugula on toasted country loaf bread topped with two eggs any style and served with farm home fries. \u00a0It’s one of the best breakfast sandwiches we’ve ever had–even sans the green chili which only one of us was excited to try.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Smoked Brisket Tacos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

29 December 2024<\/strong>:\u00a0 One of the more popular items on the menu are the smoked brisket tacos (two tacos constructed from homemade corn tortillas, pico de gallo, salsa roja, New Mexican chili (SIC) sauce, avocado, onions, cilantro, lime, two eggs any style served with home fries.\u00a0 Had I not been comforted by the luxurious loaded Japanese sweet potato, I might have fainted dead away to hear my Kim eschew pico de gallo, salsa roja and whatever that New Mexican chili sauce is.\u00a0 Had the brisket not had a pronounced smoky flavor, these would have been the most boring tacos ever.\u00a0 The home fries are superb–skin-on tubers cut to bite-sized greatness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Our Friends Bob Warrick and Pastor Shelly Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In every possible way, breakfast at the Morning Glory Cafe at the Farm at South Mountain was a blessing, one we hope to repeat annually with our friend, the great Pastor Shelly Smith.<\/p>\n
