The Show has talked extensively about the metro Phoenix restaurant scene and how it’s grown in variety, diversity and influence. That includes up-and-coming chefs, local talents who’ve made good and some more well-known names who’ve relocated here.
Scott Conant fits that latter category.
Probably best known for his New York restaurants — and frequent Food Network appearances — Conant is now a Valley resident who has opened two eateries in Arizona: Americano and Mora Italian.
He also has a new cookbook — "Peace, Love, and Pasta." The Show spoke with him to learn how his family and upbringing affected his passion for Italian food.
