Series Of Stories Focuses On Phoenix-Area Immigrant-Owned Restaurants

The Valley’s restaurant and dining scene has been getting more and more attention over the past few years.

And now, a new series of stories is focusing on a specific population of restaurateurs: immigrants.

Bite Magazine has been spotlighting restaurants owned by people who immigrated here.

Mark Lipczynski is the magazine’s co-founder. He joins me, along with Sasha Raj, who owns the Tempe restaurant 24 Carrots – that’s the vegetable, not the measure of gold’s purity.
