The metro Phoenix dining scene has diversified dramatically in recent years, and a new generation of star chefs, bartenders and mixologists has emerged. But in a sign that the talent expansion hasn’t happened overnight, we’re seeing some comeback stories.
Kasperski was one of the most popular and successful restaurateurs that Scottsdale had ever seen, with Cowboy Ciao among his standouts. But Kasperski went into bankruptcy and left the business for a while. Now he’s back with a new spot on Roosevelt Row called Character.
The Show spoke with Craig Outhier, editor-in-chief of Phoenix magazine, about the Kasperski profile.

The best plate of the evening? An order of burrata and meatballs off the Graze section of the menu. Hearty, heavy meatballs rest atop fresh burrata cheese, oozing over a rustic fennel tomato sauce. Leek oil adds depth while grilled country bread provided ample opportunities for dipping. An excellent starter, paired with a glass of Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay –- buttery with hints of Golden Delicious apples, Bosc pears, toasted nuts, and oak spice. (Our vodka press was also done well.)
Another must-order: The Chopped Salad. This is an oft-mentioned dish at
New Times and elsewhere, and served at Citizen Public House for years. It s dubbed the Arizona State Salad. The thing has its own Facebook page. This Chopped Salad was served with pesto buttermilk dressing and a whole lineup of winners: arugula, couscous, Asiago cheese, pepitas, and dried currants. Timeless as ever. Kasperski, you ve still got it.
