Cussler, a foodie who once wrote a dining column for a newspaper under the alias "The Phantom Diner," had this to say about dining in Arizona: "The culinary scene in Phoenix is incredible. We're bringing in so many of the great chefs, and they keep winning James Beard awards. There's such a variety: Cajun, Mongolian, and so on... It's becoming a masterpiece."
