Life in Grayhawk
Flight | 3
Manager’s Corner
Most of you take great pride in the
appearance of your home in Grayhawk,
from the upkeep of the exterior of your
home to the maintenance of your landscaping. However, it seems that in
almost every neighborhood, there are
one or two homeowners that do not
share that same sense of pride in how their house
and yard look. It is pretty easy to identify these properties
when we are doing our inspections throughout the community. Unfortunately, many of these properties are habitual
problems and only get “cleaned up” when the homeowners
are notified of a maintenance concern by the association.
During the summer months, the Grayhawk management team will be very diligent in the enforcement of the
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Design
Guidelines within the Grayhawk community. Please keep in
mind, however, that we truly believe that most of you want to
abide by the covenants you agreed to when you first moved
into the community. We understand that most of you inherently want to do what is necessary to keep your neighborhood
beautiful and property values at their highest.
Grayhawk Advertising
The Grayhawk Community
Association (GCA) offers advertising
as a service to our community
If you receive a “friendly reminder” letter from the association, please address the issue mentioned in the letter and
feel free to contact the Grayhawk Community Association
office if you have any questions or concerns about the notification. These letters are intended to help homeowners keep
their property in compliance with the established covenants
and guidelines.
and does not support or endorse
the products, persons or services
advertised in the Flight. GCA shall not
be held liable or responsible for any
misleading or incorrect advertising.
Please take a moment to inspect your home and your
property to see if any potential CC&R violations or maintenance concerns exist and, if so, please take the time to correct
any of these situations. Your neighbors will appreciate your
efforts and so will we.
On another note, during the summer months the
Grayhawk Community Association and the Retreat Village
Association will be working on a number of community
maintenance projects throughout Grayhawk. These projects
include the continuation of the common area wall and fence
painting project which will take place in the Ridgecrest,
Featherwind, Monterey Park, Pinnacle, and Montevina neighborhoods; crack-sealing and sealcoating Grayhawk Drive in
the Talon and Raptor Retreat; replacing the remaining old
mailboxes in the Ridgecrest and Coventry at Grayhawk neighborhoods; resurfacing the spa at the Crown Point Norte/Volare
pool area; and repairs and maintenance to several playground
areas and ramadas.
We’ll talk again soon.

Board Briefs
Grayhawk Master Association - Board of Directors Meeting
Representatives from the Pinnacle Peak West Area Drainage
Master Study presented information to the Board of Directors and
residents in attendance regarding the Rawhide Wash, which runs
through the western portion of Grayhawk.
Project Manager Theresa Pinto explained that opinions on steps
moving forward with this study varied. Many Scottsdale residents
do not feel they should pay taxes to alleviate the financial burden of
those who willingly moved into a flood plain. Others would like to
see steps taken to alleviate the current requirement for flood insurance.
There are three options currently being presented to the public.
These options are taking no action, taking minimal action without
construction of any new flood control structures, and building potential flood control mitigation structures which attempt to minimize
flood risks. A meeting regarding this project will be held on May 11
at the Grayhawk Golf Club.
New Business
Linda Shaw introduced a request from a resident regarding the
possibility of developing a pickleball court in Grayhawk. Resident
Chris Buba stated that pickleball was a fast-growing sport and many
residents may be interested in seeing a court in Grayhawk. The Board
of Directors discussed various options.
Due to the fact that the only current tennis courts owned and
maintained in the community are in the Retreat Village, the Board

did not feel that converting a current tennis court was a good option.
Only those residents who have access to the tennis courts in the
Retreat would be able to use them.
The possibility of retrofitting the basketball court in Ridgecrest
was also discussed. Management will look into the logistics and
contact Grayhawk’s legal counsel to determine if this would be considered a change of use of the common area and require approval
of the association membership. A suggestion was also made to
contact the City of Scottsdale and request that the tennis court at the
Grayhawk Neighborhood Park be used for both tennis and pickleball.
Development Committee
David Van Omen reported that the committee did not meet.
Operational Review Committee
Martha Troy reported that the committee did not meet in April

erosion repair at the following locations:
• Along 76th Street south of Thompson Peak Parkway ($1,730)
• Along Hayden Road north of Grayhawk Drive ($1,975)
• Near Deer Valley Road and Scottsdale Road ($2,900)
There are also 23 sidewalk panels that currently need repair.
DLC replaces 10 sidewalk panels per year as part of their contract.
Community Enhancement Committee
Bob Mann reported that the community enhancement fund was
currently at about $1.4 and that approximately $600,000 was taken
into the fund each year. This fund is for future projects not covered
through the operating budget.
The goal of the community enhancement condominium program
was to give a total of approximately $100,000 each year to condo
association, or about $10,000 per condo association.
Condominiums may fund all or a portion of a project with
the funds, but there are specific guidelines for what projects can be
covered as well as the submittal process. The application deadline
for projects is February 1 of each year, and projects at submitted to
the Community Enhancement committee in April, with the Board of
Directors making a final vote in May.
Programs Committee
Sarah Van Duyne reported that she estimated that she handed
out approximately 200 maps in the parking lot during the community Garage Sale. A total of 35 ladies attended Ladies Night Out at
Pure Sushi and the restaurant went above and beyond what they had
originally agreed to offer.

Landscaping
Watering for Our Summer Heat
By DLC Resources, Inc.
Summer has arrived in the high
desert and June is generally the hottest
and driest month of the year. Just
like you, plants and trees get thirsty
when temperatures begin to rise.
When summer monsoons arrive and
the humidity increases (as well as the
hope of rain), plants actually require less water. Ensure your home
landscape is getting the water it needs now and you won’t be
playing catch up later.
To minimize waste and to get more water to the roots, we recommend watering at night whenever possible. Now is also a good
time to provide supplemental water to cactus and other succulents
if they are not already on a drip water system. Take special care to
not overwater saguaros.
Here are some helpful tips to assist you in getting the right
amount of water where it needs to go:
1.Check that your water delivery system is functioning correctly by turning the system on and walking around your yard.
Check your emitters to make sure they are watering what they
are supposed to and where they are supposed to.
8 | Flight
2.Check on your irrigation controller to see if the watering
schedule meets the needs of your landscape during the hot
summer months. Sometimes the controller can default to a
general schedule if you recently lost power.
3.Use a long screwdriver or piece of rebar to test the depth of
how far your water is soaking into the ground. A screwdriver
will move easily through most soil when it is wet, but will stop
when it reaches dry soil. The roots of most shrubs are not more
than 6” to 18” deep and even a large tree will have most of its
roots within the first 24” of soil. For turf, getting moisture to a
depth of 6” should be sufficient.
For additional tips on how to use your irrigation system to
manage your landscapes watering needs, continue reading at

Get Ready For Monsoon Season
With summer temperatures creeping into the triple digits,
monsoon season is just around the corner. Summer monsoon
storms offer much needed rain to our desert environment, but also
pose the biggest weather related risk for trees. If not pruned and
thinned properly, your trees are more likely to become the victim
of high monsoon winds.

monsoon season here: http://dlclearningcenter.com/2013/06/17/

Grayhawk Elementary School Receives
Prestigious A+ Rating
By Carla Falcone, Coventry at Grayhawk
Grayhawk Elementary School recently
hosted a celebration for achieving the prestigious A+ School of Excellence Award™
from the Arizona Education Foundation.
With the entire student body, faculty, staff,
students, Parent Teacher Organization
(PTO) volunteers, and parents looking
on as Arizona Educational Foundation
Executive Director Bobbie O’Boyle presented school Principal Norm Pratt with
the honorary distinction. Other notables in
attendance included Paradise Valley School
District (PVSD) Superintendent Dr. James
Lee, PVSD Assistant Superintendent for
Instructional Support Dr. Lillian Baribault,
Assistant Superintendent for Human
Resources Recruitment Dr. Karen Gasket,
and Grayhawk PTO President Linda
Keegan.
This past winter Grayhawk Elementary
submitted an application to the Arizona
Education Foundation to be recognized as
an A+ School of Excellence Awardee™. The
program is a comprehensive school assessment that celebrates outstanding schools
evaluated in the areas of student focus and
support, school culture, active teaching and
learning, community and parent involvement, leadership, and curriculum.
The first step in the process is to
complete an application, which covers
every aspect of a school and its community. Through the Arizona Education
Foundation, a selection panel including
award-winning principals, teachers, and
community leaders review the applications
to determine if a school moves on to the
second phase in the process. In late March
Grayhawk Elementary School received
notification that it had been selected for
the next step, which was a two-day site
visit. The field panel that visited the school
included two principals and one teacher.
The three spent time observing, interviewing, and evaluating the daily happenings at
Grayhawk Elementary.
The following month the school
was notified of the Arizona Education
Foundation’s results and that Grayhawk
Elementary was to be named one of the 51
public schools to be granted the prestigious
recognition. This is the first time Grayhawk
Elementary has received this honor.
Upon receiving the announcement,
Principal Norm Pratt stated, “I am proud
to announce that today I received notification that we have been recognized as an
A+ School of Excellence™! This is a tremendous achievement and I am extremely
proud of our staff, students, parents, and

of the great things that happen here at
Grayhawk Elementary. It is truly a special
place.”
In addition to the distinction, the
Arizona Foundation presented the school
with a $500 check and banner that will
proudly be on display for the students and
community to enjoy.
The Arizona Educational Foundation
created the A+ School of Excellence™
Program in 1983. Its purpose is to identify
and give recognition to outstanding Arizona
public schools; to make available a comprehensive framework of key criteria for school
effectiveness that can serve as a basis for
participatory self-assessment and planning
in schools; and to facilitate communication
and sharing of best practices within and
among schools based on a common criteria
related to success. There are currently over
2,000 public schools in the state of Arizona.
In the 2014-2015 school year only 51
public schools received this award, including Grayhawk Elementary.

Caving Arizona
This summer, say goodbye to scorching
temperatures and the baking sun, and hello
to an underground world where stones
grow and temperatures remain constant.
Visit one of Arizona’s many spectacular
caves!
Speleologists (scientists who study
caves) estimate that there may be more than
4,000 caves beneath the surface in Arizona.
With well over 1,000 caves and karst features
already documented in the state, Arizona is
rich in speleological resources. From the
large Lava Tubes of Northern Arizona, to
the decorated limestone caves of Southern
Arizona, our state contains some of the most
beautiful and scientifically important caves
in the nation. And since Arizona has such
a variety of localized climates, from arid
deserts to lush mountain forests; we also
have a high diversity of caves types.
Since much of Arizona is located in
desert climates, many of the desert caves
receive very little water input. This means
that cave formations grow very slowly and
are extremely susceptible to impact from
visitors. In 1977, cavers and other interested
parties were able to write and enact a cave
protection law to help protect Arizona caves
from damage. Since many Arizona caves
are archaeological sites, a later statute offers
further protection to these unique resources.
12 | Flight
The statutes are 13-3702 and 13-3702.01
of the Arizona Criminal Code Title 13.
Persons convicted under these statutes can
be charged with fines up to $150,000!
Suffice it to say it is not smart to dig in caves
for pots, or to damage caves in any way.
Just be sure to tread softly and practice
“Leave No Trace” principles. Later generations will appreciate your consideration.
Kartchner Caverns
Kartchner Caverns, considered the
crown jewel of Arizona caves, have been
protected with state park designation since
1988, 14 years after Gary Tenen and Randy
Tufts found them while exploring near the
Whetstone Mountains. Tenen and Tufts kept
the caves a secret for those 14 years!
The caves were opened to the
public in 1999, and well-trained park
docents offer half-mile tours throughout the
year. Two tours are offered. On the Rotunda/
Throne tour, guests discover the role that
water plays in creating the caverns. They see
the discoverers’ original trail, 45,000-yearold bat guano, delicate formations and
“Kubla Khan,” the largest column formation
in Arizona. Big Room tours are offered midOctober through mid-April and guests have
a chance to marvel at the many strange and
colorful formations, learn about the cave
fauna, and experience the wonder of the
cave’s discovery.
Kartchner is a wet, living cave with
water still percolating down from the surface
and formations still growing. A bristling
forest of stalactites, stalagmites, columns
and crystals fills the soaring rooms. Pencilthin soda straws dangle from the ceiling,
including the longest known one in the
United States at 21 feet, 2 inches.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken to preserve the cave’s delicate ecosystem. Introduction of outside air would upset
the natural balance and dry out the cave.
Visitors enter through a large steel door
embedded into the hillside and then pass
through a man-made tunnel and a series of
airlocks.
Tours for adults cost $23, $13 for ages
7-13. Children younger than 7 are free, but
are not permitted on Big Room tours.
The park also has an interactive
museum, hiking trails, campground, picnic
ramadas and the Bat Cave Cafe. Admission
is $6 per vehicle, waived for visitors with
cave-tour tickets.

miles south of Benson. Information: 520586-4100; Reservations: 520-586-2283;

Caving
Colossal Cave
Colossal Cave, just twenty two miles southeast of Tucson,
Arizona is one of the largest dry caves in North America. It maintains a pleasant seventy degrees Fahrenheit temperature yeararound. Located in the Rincon Mountains at an elevation of three
thousand seven hundred feet, the entrance commands a panoramic
view of the Sonoran Desert.
The cave, which opened to the public in 1917, extends approximately 600 feet into the mountain and descends about 40 feet below
ground. The 363 steps present a challenge to those with difficulty
climbing stairs.
It’s said that bandits used to hide in the cave between bank
robberies, and many believe that loot is still hidden in the dark
crevices of the cave. During the Great Depression, Colossal Cave
became another success story of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Workers set up a large encampment on the ranch grounds and over
a three-year period built walkways, handrails and lighting still in
use today. They also constructed picnic ramadas and stone buildings that now serve as gift shop and offices. The adobe building that
was its headquarters has been converted to a museum honoring the
men of the CCC.
The cave is not fully explored, but scientists estimate that there
are at least thirty nine miles of natural tunnels inside the cavern.
Due to the enormously complex three-dimensional maze, it took
over two years to map the two miles of passageway that are fully
explored.
Tours cover a half-mile and last approximately 45 minutes. Cost
is $13, $6.50 for ages 5-12, children 4 and under are free. Other
ways to explore Colossal Cave include Ladder Tours, Candlelight
Tours and Wild Cave Tours. Reservations are required for these
outings. Admission to the park is five dollars per auto (up to six
people, one dollar for each additional person in the same vehicle.)
Details: 16721 E. Old Spanish Trail, Vail, about 20 miles
east of Tucson. Take Interstate 10 east to Exit 279. Turn
north and follow the signs for about 7 miles. 520-647-7275.

Grand Canyon Caverns
In 1927, a young woodcutter named Walter Peck was on his
way to a poker game when he nearly fell into a hole. He returned
the next day with his buddies to discover an immense cave. Peck
bought the property, believing it to contain mineral wealth. When
that proved false, he opened the caverns for tours.
Today, the largest dry cave in the United States remains a visitor
friendly experience, with an elevator that descends 200 feet and
long, paved walkways with handrails.
Guided tours last about 45 minutes and cover three-quarters
of a mile, moving through chambers and tunnels. Guests will meet
Gertie the Ground Sloth, a 15-foot-tall statue re-created from skeletal remains found in the cave. There’s also a large stockpile of food
and water that was hauled in during the Cuban Missile Crisis of
1963. The rations, enough to support 2,000 people for two weeks,
were never needed. But because of the cool, dry conditions of the
cave the food remains edible today.
The complex includes a topside motel, restaurant, RV park,
riding stables and gift shop. Cave tours cost $19.95, $14 for 65 and
older and $12.95 for ages 5-12. The Explorers Tour, $69.95, allows
guests to don hard hats and nylon suits and crawl into undeveloped
rooms.
Details: 22 miles west of Seligman on Route 66 at mile
marker 115. 928-422-3223, www.gccaverns.com.
Coronado Cave
Coronado Cave is located in the Coronado National Monument
south of Sierra Vista. Park Rangers lead daily tours to this large,
limestone cave found at the base of Montezuma Peak. Tour requires
a 1-mile roundtrip hike and ability to scale down and up a 30-foot
rocky slope. This is a more rugged cave adventure than the above
mentioned caves.
Coronado Cave became part of Coronado National Memorial in
1978, when the park expanded its boundaries. The cave may have
been used by humans as a shelter and hideout by middle archaic
people (up to 8,000 years ago) and more recently by Apaches,
Mexican and European miners, and settlers (however, no archaeological evidence remains in the cave today). The cave is now one of
the few open, undeveloped caves in southern Arizona. Coronado
Cave is a large cavern 600 feet long and in most places about 70
feet wide.

Fire Sprinkler Systems:
Meet Your Personal
Firefighter
The City of Scottsdale is widely recognized as a leader in builtin automatic sprinkler systems. In 1985, the City passed an ordinance requiring every commercial and multi-family building to be
outfitted with a complete fire sprinkler system. The ordinance also
requires that single-family residences built after January 1, 1986,
be fully outfitted with an approved fire sprinkler system. Sprinkler
systems are also required in major remodeling projects. These
systems have been credited with saving a number of lives locally
and across the nation.
In the 2001 study “A 15 Year Update on the Impact and
Effectiveness of the Scottsdale Sprinkler Ordinance”, it was reported that the civilian fire fatality rate had been reduced by a minimum
of 50% with at least thirteen lives saved as a result of built-in fire
sprinkler protection. The average loss for a fire incident in a building protected with an automatic sprinkler system was over 90% less
than the average loss for a structure fire incident without automatic
sprinkler protection. One or two sprinkler heads controlled or
extinguished the fire in 92% of the incidents. This statistic proves
that a small amount of water applied early during a fire incident
is more effective than the much larger amounts that are typically
flowed by firefighters.
These systems are effective only if they are maintained in
working order. If you need help, Scottsdale’s firefighters will inspect
your sprinklers for free and advise you of ways to develop a home
safety plan. To schedule a safety inspection or for more information
about fire sprinkler systems, call the Scottsdale Fire Department
Fire and Life Safety division at 480-312-1855.
Homeowners can also assist with keeping the system in
working order.
18 | Flight
System Maintenance Procedures
For safety and to ensure the proper operation of the fire sprinkler system, remember the following:
• Visually check the sprinkler system monthly. This check is to
make certain that nothing obstructs the sprinklers that would
interfere with their water spray pattern.
• Do not hang anything from the sprinkler heads.
• Do not paint the sprinkler heads. No overspray or paint splatters are acceptable.
• Do not hit or tamper with the sprinkler heads.
• Do not change the setting of the pressure relief valve because
this has been preset at the factory.
• Test your system or make certain your system is tested periodically to be sure it is working correctly.
• The main drain valve should remain in the closed position.
• Make certain that any replacement of the residential sprinklers
is by a sprinkler contractor licensed or certified as competent.
• In 2001, Omega Sprinklers issued a recall of its sprinkler
heads. Although the deadline has passed to have the sprinklers
replaced for free under the recall, owners of Omega sprinklers
are encouraged to have their sprinklers replaced.
• Don’t forget to regularly check smoke alarms.
Fire Sprinklers
Facts & Myths about Fire Sprinklers
Automatic fire sprinkler systems have enjoyed an enviable
record of protecting life and property for more than 100 years.
However, there are still common misunderstandings about the
operation and effectiveness of automatic fire sprinkler systems.
“When a fire occurs, every fire sprinkler head discharges water.”
Fact: Sprinkler heads are individually activated by heat.
Residential fires are usually controlled with one sprinkler head. A
15-year study conducted in Scottsdale found that 2 or less sprinkler
heads controlled more than 92 percent of the fires that occurred in
protected properties.
“Water damage from fire sprinklers will be more extensive than
the fire damage itself.”
“Fire sprinklers are designed to protect property but are not effective for life safety.”
Fact: Water damage from a home fire sprinkler system will be much
less than the damage caused by water from firefighting hoses or the
smoke and fire damage if the fire continues unabated.
Fact: Fire sprinklers provide a high level of life safety. The NFPA has
no record of a multiple death fire in a public assembly, educational,
institutional or residential building where the fire sprinkler system
was properly operating.
“A smoke alarm is enough
protection from fire.”
Fact: Smoke alarms save
lives by providing a warning
system but do nothing to
extinguish a growing fire
or protect those physically
unable to escape on their
own, such as the impaired,
elderly or small children.
Also, battery operated
smoke alarms often fail to
work because the batteries are dead or have been
removed.
“Home sprinklers are expensive.”
Fact: Current estimates suggest that when a home is under construction, a home sprinkler system could cost about 1 percent of the
total building price – that’s less than most upgrades like carpeting,
fire places, covered patios and window treatments.
“Residential sprinkler systems are ugly.”
Fact: The traditional industrial-type sprinklers, as well as sprinklers for home use, have been redesigned to fit in with most decor.
Recessed or flush mounted sprinkler heads are now very un-obtrusive and commonly installed in many residential and commercial
structures.

Recipe
Sage Advice
By Mary Kebbekus, Peregrine Vistas Homeowner
Hi, nice to meet all of you! I am a
retired private chef, cooking teacher, and
party consultant who still has a need to
discuss all things food. So, welcome to my
first article. Have a cooking question or
recipe request? Maybe you want to know
what to do with that gorgeous eggplant now
that it is sitting in your refrigerator. I’d love
to help - just email me at AZsageadvice@
gmail.com. Your question may be the next
article.
Herbs & Spices & Salts - oh my! I
regularly get questions about them, so let
us begin with one that has been in the
news recently - cumin. Specifically, ground
cumin. A bundle of ground cumin, and
spice blends that contain it, was recalled
for being contaminated with peanut shells.
The shelves are now clear of the offending
items. However, if you want to read more
about this, just Google cumin recall. FYI
- Penzey’s grinds their own spices, so they
started with pure cumin seed.
22 | Flight
Now for the fun stuff. How the heck
do you pronounce it. Take your pick: KUHmihn or KOO-mihn. Cumin was widely
popular in the ancient world and it even
sat on Greek tables much like our salt and
pepper does today. Medicinally speaking, it
is touted as a digestive aid and immunity
booster.
It comes in three colors: amber (this
being far and away the most common and
readily available), and white or black (available in specialty stores). Recipes calling
for cumin mean amber unless otherwise
specified.
Even if you haven’t used this wonderful spice on its own, you have undoubtedly had it in chili powders or curry blends
where it adds an earthy, slightly bittersweet
warmth.
It plays well with lamb, chicken, beans,
rice, eggplant, potatoes, and one of cumin’s
favorites, carrots. Here is a quick, easy, and
versatile way to explore:
CUMIN CARROT SALAD
1 pkg (10-12 oz.) matchstick carrots
1/2 t. cumin
1/4 t. paprika
Pinch of cinnamon
1 T fresh lemon juice
2 T olive oil
1 T honey
2 T chopped parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste
Whisk together cumin, paprika, cinnamon, lemon juice, olive oil, & honey. Toss
with carrots. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Garnish with parsley. May be eaten immediately or let marinate in the refrigerator for
several hours.
Mix it up - add cilantro, throw in a few
raisins, how about a few garbanzo beans
(chickpeas) or spice it up with a dash of
cayenne.

Sip & Tell
Sip and Tell
Sue Lukenbill, Encore Resident
Lately, I find myself torn between my
love of sit-down-and-relax establishments
and hurry-up-and-go joints. When I have
the time, I love a good cocktail and multiple
course meal just as much as the next gal. But
I’ll be honest, more days that not I find myself
rushing from one appointment to another, shopping for birthday
gifts or getting just a few more items checked off my to-do list.
When those days happen, I genuinely appreciate a good fast-casual
restaurant.
Inspired by Southeast Asian street-fare, Foosia, Asia Fresh is
a “fresh, exotic, and healthy” fast-casual eatery where customers
can watch their food being prepared Chipotle-style. The restaurant
opened its doors on the southwest corner of Scottsdale Road and
Thunderbird Road in mid-January. Foosia is owned by Scottsdalebased TIGA Restaurant Concepts and the food comes courtesy of
Chef Bradley Borchardt, a culinary consultant who has worked
with P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and Pei Wei Asia Diner. Michael
Nemeth is the brainchild of Foosia, who also owns Lush Burger
in Scottsdale and runs PrimeTime Athletics, a co-ed youth flag
football league. It has been said that maybe that interest in sports
inspired him to create this cafe with a menu of healthful Asian rice
24 | Flight
and noodle bowls. And the flavors score big, time after time.
Foosia’s food, described as “a modern twist on Asian street
fare,” is prepared quickly and lets guests create dishes with ingredients such as cilantro and scallions, jasmine rice with coconut milk,
and seasoned meats. I like that idea. It is kind of cool that you can
build your own bowls with fresh, flavorful ingredients!
The restaurant seems to attract customers of all ages, including
kids, who get their own little bowl of customized yummy food. Part
of the appeal is the chance to create your own meal. You step up to
the counter and choose your own fresh ingredients to be assembled
in your bowl. You’re in charge!
The menu is simple and short, but easily customized. There
are four basic choices as the foundation of your meal: jasmine rice,
brown rice, chilled rice noodles or a bed of mixed greens. Next,
you choose a protein: marinated steak, slow-roasted pork, grilled
chicken, or shrimp. All of the proteins are dished from the assembly
line, except for the shrimp, which is cooked to order. The protein
is topped with your choice of steamed or wok glazed vegetables
and your choice from a variety of additional toppings ranging from
Chinese slaw to pickled chilies, Thai herb mix to Asian cucumbers.
There are seven sauces to top your bowl with: Red, White, Blue
Korean BBQ (deep, dark, spicy, sweet and mysterious), Okinawan

Pineapple Pow (a sweet and fruity take on teriyaki), Holy Foobanero
(habanero hot sauce enhanced with the tropical flavors of lemongrass, pineapple, and a touch of vinegar), Muay Thai Vinaigrette
(savory yet punchy little sauce with notes of ginger, tamarind and
lime), Two Nuts Walk Into A Bar… (Malaysian peanut sauce, rich
with peanut, dark soy sauce, and coconut milk flavors), Foo Foo
Mango-Lime (mango sauce cleverly paired with highly aromatic and
palate cleansing kaffir lime), and Fooster Sauce (House Sriracha).
Jennifer Sheets and I had a great time customizing our bowls.
Since I am not really a rice person, I skipped the rice and opted
for just the mixed greens. I added shrimp for the protein, the
wok glazed vegetables and the Two Nuts Walk Into A Bar sauce. I
topped it all with crispy wontons. Jennifer ordered brown rice and
mixed greens, chicken, steamed veggies, pickled cucumbers, green
onion, pickled Fresno chilies, Thai herb mix and the Muay Thai
Vinaigrette.
The restaurant serves desserts and fountain drinks and a variety
of teas. They have wine and beer as well.
In a nutshell, Foosia is an alternative to deep-fried fast food,
and just as fast. I suggest that you take a peek at their outdoor
dining room patio to see the more than 10 herbs and spices that
they grow on site in raised bed gardens. The herbs and vegetables
include everything from fresh-cut cilantro, mint, Thai basil, green
and red onion, lime, snap peas, garlic, and other seasonal produce.
In closing, Happy Father’s Day to all of you Dads. And everyone enjoy the month of June with all of its events and remember to
smile. June 15 is the Power of a Smile Day!
