After several days of friends and family sessions, Culinary Dropout has opened at The Yard Tempe at First Street and Farmer, just west of downtown.

It’s Phoenix-based restaurateur Sam Fox’s fourth Culinary Dropout, joining others in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Phoenix.

Culinary Dropout’s signature menu items include its fried chicken ($16), jalapeno pork ribs ($23), and soft pretzel and provolone fondue appetizer ($10).
