Joanie Simon Sphinx Date Co. Has Ramadan Treats Ramadan started this week (Monday, April 12) and runs till Wednesday, May 12. On that day, called Eid-al-Fitr or the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast, holiday treats include dates, honey, bread, figs, fruits, and olives. One place that has it all is Sphinx Date Co. at 3039 North Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale. The little market offers dates in bulk as well as special packages for gift giving during the holiday. I Heart Mac & Cheese Is Finally Here The first location of I Heart Mac & Cheese — a nationwide chain of gourmet macaroni and cheese restaurants — has opened in Arizona. The concept lets you build your own mac and cheese bowl and/or grilled cheese sandwich, though signature items, like the baked buffalo chicken, are also on the menu. The eatery opened Thursday at 1342 West Warner Road, #108B, in Tempe, with proceeds from opening day going to Tempe Community Action Agency to benefit older adults. I Heart Mac & Cheese also offers vegan bowls and sandwiches.
