Photography by Harley Bonham Sensuous salad debuts in Scottsdale Fashion Square By Leona Meditz Smack in the middle of Scottsdale Fashion Square’s fast food court mecca, hidden in Juicd Life’s kiosk refrigerator, is an $8.25, gluten free, antioxidant loaded, ayurvedic approved, full protein vegetarian meal worth enjoying. Healthy – yes! But sensuous? Salad 150, named for the 150 different ingredients in it, is the brainchild of Lee Lewis who developed the recipe after a friend served him a similar chopped salad. Lee saw the need to help others improve their health and started seminars promoting alkaline water. Salad 150 became “spaghetti dinner” marketing that attracted people to these seminars. When more people asked for the salad than for the seminar – Lee knew he had a winner and Sensuous Salad was born. Salad 150 is based on Dr. Hiromi Shinya’s, The Enzyme Factor, diet which supports the idea of a miracle enzyme out of which all other needed enzymes are produced. Shinya, co-inventor of the colonoscopy, concludes cancer and other diseases occur when this key enzyme is depleted. His diet increases cancer remission and boasts zero percent cancer reoccurrence. As the spokesperson for a naturopathic cancer clinic, Lewis had personally seen patient improvement using Shinya’s diet along with alkaline water. So Lewis balanced over 100 raw fruits and vegetables coupled with brown rice and legumes creating a whole protein with all essential amino acids, to create a meal. He started a salad subscription program for cancer patients who didn’t want to buy, wash, chop and blend 150 ingredients daily. He even washes the vegetables with high alkaline water killing disease- causing bacteria. With up to 1,000 vegetable choices, Lewis has plenty of i n g r e d i e n t o p t i o n s , even with the more c o m m o n v a r i e t i e s . For example, there are five to 10 types of potatoes alone and 15 varieties of apples commonly available. Add more exotic veggies like Rutabaga, Parsnips and Rhubarb and it is easy to see the combinations are endless. Cancer patients might eat anything to get well, but Lewis wanted to expand this healthy meal to those not yet sick, and therefore prevent disease. With our health care system struggling to help patients with chronic disease, Lewis’ prevention vision is timely. He knew that to switch people from burgers and fries, the salad had to taste good without gluten, corn syrup, sugar or unhealthy fat. Unlike most salad dressings loaded with vegetable oil, Lewis uses extra virgin olive oil, tahini (ground sesame seed butter); raw organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar (mother), turmeric, cumin and pink Himalayan salt to help balance blood sugar. Sensuous is defined as “gratifying the senses: having strong appeal.” Lewis discovered that when raw fruits and veggies are cut into one-quarter-inch cubes, rather than tasting individual ingredients, all six flavors of the palate: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, pungent and astringent, explode in the mouth at once. Coupled with tongue- tingling textures and visually appealing technichrome jewel tones, the result? A satisfying meal that is, well, sensuous! Salad 150 owner, Lee Lewis

Pair these vintage games of arcade excitement with your favorite cocktail and you have Scottsdale’s most recent bar, The King. The Western, an old-fashioned honky- tonk with live music, closed its doors after only 18 months earlier this year and owner Tucker Woodbury, owner of The Vig and The Little Woody, was looking to alter the vibe to something the neighborhood could appreciate a bit more. “I grew up in an era where everybody had a ‘rec room’ in their basement. Pinball machines, video games, dart boards, and I wanted to include a similar experience at The Little Woody. It didn’t take us long to realize people are looking for more than just eating, drinking and conversation,” said Woodbury. “Having additional space to work with at The King allowed us to take that rec room idea a bit further and the idea of an old school arcade inside a bar just made a lot of sense.” So far, it makes great sense to patrons. Locals are flocking to this laid-back venue with a royal name. “It’s a bit of a contradiction I guess, calling a little neighborhood ‘dive,’ The King. Although the name suggests something grand, there’s really nothing fancy about it,” said Woodbury. He continued, “The place is all about fun and games, and the name allowed us a lot of latitude to just have fun.” And fun they’ve had. The King is decorated with chalkboard walls, which guests have tagged with names, slogans and portraits. Images of all different types of “kings” hang around the room. From Elvis, to Larry King and King Kong, it’s an experience to just tour the space and pay witness to the large variety of kings made famous in the world. Then, there are the games. The games you played as a kid, the ones you’ve longed for despite the technological advances of the 21st century, are now on full display in a super cool, ultra-friendly bar with Tito’s vodka flowing and a paper burger menu laid out like a sushi menu, giving guests the option to mark what they want and hand it over to the bartender. At only $5 for a burger with the basic condiments, $.50 extra for fancy additions like pickled jalapenos and $1 for extra special things such as cheesy sauce or sloppy Joe, hungry game players can fill up on whatever taste strikes their fancy. Just mark “King Me” on the burger menu and for an extra $5 you can have everything on it, creating an oversized masterpiece. Forget the arcade games, eating a “King Me” burger might be the evening’s activity in itself. For those looking for more of a snack, The King menu also has “build your own” fries, tots, or mac. Choose which of those three will be your base and then add to it a slew of condiments such as Sriracha, black beans, chorizo gravy, egg or even, once again, the “King Me.” Fried pickles, the king cobb salad and wings are also great options to feed your cravings as you battle your friends in foosball, Street Fighter II and Addams Family pinball. Not looking to spend your evening vying for the title of video game master? Try the Back Bar Bingo, where guests can pay $1 for a mystery shot. However you choose to spend your time inside The King, whether it be playing games, eating plates full of French fries and tots, or sipping on an ice-cold beer, its obvious that this new local hot spot has something for everyone. “We just wanted to build a place where anyone can come relax and have a good time,” said Woodbury. 602-956-0178 4144 E.
