FnB · Scottsdale
James Beard veggie whisperer of Old Town
Why we recommend FnB in Scottsdale
FnB is the quiet heavyweight of Old Town Scottsdale, the kind of room that regulars guard and out-of-towners hunt down on purpose. Opened in 2009 by chef Charleen Badman and beverage director Pavle Milic, it sits tucked into Craftsman Court off 5th Avenue, a warm and unfussy space where natural light pours through the front windows, a three-sided bar anchors the room, and a mosaic of red, yellow, green and blue floor tiles gives an otherwise cozy room a jolt of color. There is nothing showy here, and that is the point. The focus lands on the plate and in the glass. Badman is the reason to book. In 2019 the James Beard Foundation named her Best Chef: Southwest, the first Arizona chef to take the category since 2007, after years as a repeat semifinalist. S
