Fine dining in the desert

TUCSON — The Southwest may be known for Mexican food, but Feast, a former carryout here that has become a 110-seat restaurant, has proven there is fine dining even in a place on a street called Speedway.
Feast's menu changes monthly, but in the summer the restaurant invites its patrons to make requests for their favorite dishes.
“The squeaky wheel gets the grease,” the restaurant’s website says. “The more we hear people asking for a dish to return to the menu, the sooner we bring it back.”
Appetizers: Lobster, corn and scallion bread pudding, served with Parmesan cream sauce and yellowtail-mussel rillettes with radishes, Meyer lemon crème fraiche, watercress and toasts.
Braised octopus and pork, smoked paprika-tomato broth, Canellini beans and spinach, garnished with onion and Spanish chorizo.
Left: A special crepes with crab and green beans; right, a fine French red wine for $38 per bottle.
Grilled loin of venison with licorice prunes, baby turnips, fingerling potatoes and haricots verts (French green beans). Red wine-anisette veal reduction.
