We are physically capable and will be good for some distance/elevation, even though everything starts at a mile up!

Small aside; I thought it would be great to do a Rim, River, Rim and when my wife did some quick searching, relayed the 'bad idea' most people were commenting. I thought it was for families of 4 with a grumpy kid or 2 until I saw it was 17 miles with 4400' gain on the return. Holy. Cow.

Food spots would be very useful as well. We are landing EARLY in Phoenix and would love a great breakfast spot, as well as anything for lunch/dinner in Sedona/Flagstaff/South Rim. Yelp has been combed over, but it is impersonal. Higher end is fine.
Brunch in tempe near the airport @ Snooze is pretty good.

Dinner in Flag: Pizzicletta - my favorite place in the area, Pato Thai, lumberyard brew pub.

Brunch in Flag - MartAnnes Burrito Palace

IMO the food sucks, i mean really sucks!!!, in the south rim. If you can i'd recommend bringing food with you from Flag. If that is not an option, and if you can hold off and avoid south rim food it is worth returning to the interstate to a small town called Williams. There are a few good places there.
