Overall I had a pretty amazing food weekend and here are some highlights. I went to Flagstaff to try an infamous El Diablo burger and ended up at my favorite sushi restaurant Karma, having a delicious calamari salad. It had mango, pickled cucumber, sprouts and daikon radish. I had so much fun wandering around downtown seeing where my taste buds would lead me!!! Karma is right in my budget and the food is always exquisite. My favorite combination. Excited for the next food adventure! =))))))))
