First look: BLD

[portfolio_slideshow]

BLD – an acronym for Breakfast Lunch Dinner – is the new all-day restaurant from the owners of Chandler fine-dining restaurant Cork. Not only is it much more casual than its older sibling, it’s also much less expensive. Most menu items are less than $10 for lunch and and $15 for dinner.

Despite the prices, don’t expect to compromise on quality ingredients, including organic chicken, Mesa Ranch beef and locally made Crave ice cream. Most of the rest of the menu – from cured meats to meatballs to onion rings to hummus – is made in-house.
