Last week, the Arizona Foothills Magazine <\/em>staff gathered at Christopher’s Restaurant and Crush Lounge at Phoenix’s Biltmore Fashion Park for our annual holiday party. With such yummy food and great service–and wonderful company, of course–our get-together was a total success.\u00a0\u00a0In between glasses of Champagne, we munched on delectable artisan-style pizzas, tasty sweet potato and truffle oil fries and mounds of salads (you know, to compensate for our extreme French fry intake).
