eating and drinking in the loop / 202 DINE / Fired Up Grill The chefs at Fired Up Grill have created a dish that is sweet, savory and oh-soscrumptious for their fall menu. The dish that caught our eye is grilled pork over butternut squash hash and finished with a brandy demi-glace. 7131 W. Ray Rd. #45, Chandler. 480-940-4040, firedupgrill.com. Piggly’s at the Fair Barbecue and Grill Set to hold its grand opening Oct. 2, Piggly’s has rolled out a funnel cake for the occasion. Fried to golden perfection, the cake is drizzled in pumpkin sauce and sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg; all topped with spice cream. 1633 S. Stapley Dr., Mesa. 480-707-9009, pigglys.com. The House at Secret Garden These folks amp up fall with their dried berry bread pudding. This dish combines the flavors of tart cherry, cranberries, raisins and almonds and tops it with vanilla ice cream and bourbon maple anglaise. It’s the perfect ending to a meal at this cozy house, just a hop, skip and a jump from Tempe. 2501 E. Baseline Rd., Phoenix. 602-243-8539, houseatsecretgarden.com.
