The Daily Sun newspaper has compiled its Best of Flagstaff 2007, voted by readers.
A fair number of Route 66 businesses made the list, among them the historic Museum Club (Best Place to Dance), Sakura (Best Japanese Food), and Salsa Brava (Best Salsa).
But the Route 66 Dog Haus captured an impressive three categories — Best Breakfast Burrito, Best Fast Food, and Best Hot Dogs. Based on all the enthusiastic comments on TripAdvisor, I don’t think those awards happened because of egregious ballot-stuffing. The restaurant’s been there for more than 30 years, and it helped inspire Jackson Browne to write the Eagles’ hit, “Take It Easy” (no lie).
If you’re planning on a visit to Flagstaff soon, I would bookmark the Best of Flagstaff 2007. It’s tremendously comprehensive, and locals usually know where the good spots are.
