Even those who closely follow the Valley’s culinary scene may not recognize the name Eytan Zias.
But Gwen Ashley Walters writes in the latest issue of Edible Phoenix:
Eighty percent of his clientele wear chef pants, like he did before he traded in his starched white jackets for his current wardrobe: a gunmetal blue fitted T-shirt, baggy jeans and canvas deck shoes.
He speaks softly and his customers hang onto his every word. Ask around Valley restaurant kitchens, and they’ll tell you he is the most influential guy among them.
Zias is the 34-year-old owner of Phoenix Knife House, a 4-year-old retail knife shop and knife sharpening business in Scottsdale.
