Especially since there's lots less seasons of any kind waiting for our arrival. Glendale puts on a beautiful public display of lighting, businesses in and around the Square/Plaza/Town Center open, families, friends and lovers stroll through town and life is good. Better than the usual Christmas Light Drive-by. Stop in yourself, check it out, and write your own Glendale Glitters chestnuts for others to read.

While in Phoenix, one of the things to do is to try a Sonoran Hot Dog. After some afternoon bar…read moretime, we just had to find a Sonoran hot dog and so glad we found the El Caprichoso truck!! The staff was no amazingly nice and the hot dogs were the best!! Not only do you have to try a Sonoran hot dog, but you absolutely need to try it from El Caprichoso!! I had the Sonora 4x4 and was NOT disappointed!

So here I am, trying out the Sonoran Hotdog 5/5 Unfortunately, we missed the parking area. So we had to walk, there wouldn't say to walkable area. But the hotdog was worth the walk over. The surface was pretty fast and the cashier was super friendly! This is definitely a local hot dog place.So the ambiance isn't too fancy, but you know, if the food is good the food is good, it doesn't matter what the place looks likes like. I don't think I'm gonna go be going back to Arizona anytime soon, but this is definitely a place to try out!

I appreciate that parking was free and so was general admission. No one likes paying for parking…read more Not sure why this is advertised as a Chocolate Affair though, it's actually just a farmers market. Food trucks and vendors outside of the civic center and then vendors inside. It's not just chocolate vendors inside which would make sense so the chocolate doesn't melt, it's solar, window treatments, realtors, etc. There are WAY TOO MANY vendors in that tiny room. There is absolutely no room to walk around comfortably and actually look at what anyone was offering. And of course there are strollers, wheelchairs and wagons to navigate through. People stop at a vendor table and then hold up the whole line of people trying to walk down the aisles. Please work on your logistics. This was not a fun event to attend, we didn't even stay for 30 minutes. Don't advertise this as a Chocolate Affair. It is anything but.

This event is a yearly event that usually takes place at the Glendale Civic Center. It looks like…read morethis event has been going on for at least 16 years now. Most food festivals cost money and/or parking. What's awesome about this event is that it is one of the rare events where it is free admission and free parking so you really have nothing to lose by checking it out. There were 8 general food vendors which were situated outside. All the chocolate vendors were inside of the exhibit halls in the Civic Center. Along with this were a few other misc pop ups such as clothing, trinket, home improvement, and candy vendors. The chocolate vendors were a mix of actual physical establishments such as Cerreta's Chocolate Factory and pop ups such as Wysked. Something this place had that I don't see a lot of food festivals have is ample seating to enjoy your delicious treats. There's a beer garden too if you're looking for some alcohol. Overall, it's a pretty small festival but full of neat places to browse. Since it's in the heart of downtown Glendale, you can also spend your time walking around time if you haven't gotten full off the savory sweets of this festival.

Growing up I used to eat Maruchan soups all the time but never like this. They gave us options on which soups we wanted and then allowed us dress it up with different toppings.
