New restaurant combines casual, comfort and community.
Scottsdale, U.S.A. – 2012-10-2 — /travelprnews.com/ — Embark on a cross-country road trip down the main streets of America at Proof, an American canteen, debuting November 2012 atFour Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North. Featuring homestyle comfort fare sourced exclusively from the 50 states, this relaxed restaurant promises to fast become a casual neighbourhood hangout, perfect for a relaxed dinner together, an evening with the family, or drinks with friends.
“We want Proof to surprise you; this is not your traditional resort restaurant,” says Director of Food & Beverage Bryan Feigenbaum. “When you walk in, you will see servers outfitted in denim and gingham, a soda jerk serving up milkshakes and spiked ice cream concoctions, and a railroad track running through the restaurant. This is not a special occasion place where you have to wonder what to wear.”
Designed by Paul Duesing Partners in the space formerly housing Crescent Moon, the restaurant evokes a casual and comfortable approach following a nearly USD 2.5 million renovation. The décor of the restaurant draws upon the area’s history as a stagecoach hitching post and the frontier spirit of the Wild West, with a railroad track running perpendicular through the dining room as well as black and white pictures of conductors and railroad workers. Guests can take in the outdoors from every angle with walls that open to views of Pinnacle Peak and extensive patio dining. Televisions, games and a bustling bar bring buzzing energy to the restaurant on a nightly basis.
Executive Sous-Chef Jesse Hansen and his innovative culinary team have drawn upon classic American favourites to build the menu. Guests can expect menu items such as fried green tomatoes, shrimp and oyster po’boys, and chicken and waffles with bacon and bourbon syrup. An old fashioned soda fountain serves up nostalgic milkshakes, malts and floats, or guests can order a hand-sliced sandwich or charcuterie board at the counter.
Children will delight in the special touches throughout. A seasonal selection of handmade candies is available for purchase, and might include caramels, peppermint sticks, fudge, salt water taffy and flavored popcorn. Special “TV dinner” menus for kids combine classic favourites with melamine dinner ware, and nostalgic cartoons will be broadcast during breakfast.
For adults, the restaurant highlights small batch and craft distilled American spirits, with an emphasis on bourbon and whiskey, as well as wines from across the United States. More than 50 microbrews are available, with six beers on draft, while a wine selection of more than 50 bottles includes four wines on tap, served in chemist beakers.
The music mix and TV programming in Proof will change from sunrise to sunset. Breakfast will feature American sitcom theme songs and vintage cartoons. Lunchtime will show classic westerns on the screen and bluegrass, country and light jazz on the airwaves. Tune in as the sun goes down with higher-energy professional and collegiate sports on the screens, and American rock, jazz and funk in the background. Local live music will be on select nights.
Proof will be open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner and bar service, with continuous hours of operation from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm.
