• Miniature Tigers Yucca Gig a Nice Send-Off for Big Tour

  With their star swiftly rising thanks to a slate of dates opening for Ben Folds and a showcase at SxSW, a lot of us showing up at Miniature Tigers' show at Yucca Tap Room last night kind of thought this could be one the last times we'd see the band for free. If that's the case, we got a great show to remember the era by.The Yucca was, for a Wednesday night, exceptionally full for the show, which also featured Mia Riddle, Milo the Mayor and Art for Starters. Not only were there people aplenty, th

• Art Burn: More than Tummies Growling at Cibo

  Some of the worst restaurant art is found (unsurprisingly) in the restrooms. I can understand the urge to tuck away a bland floral print purchased on clearance at Ross or an ugly oil painting done by the owner's nephew and thus forced to be on display somewhere. But when a hip, "urban chic meets vintage cool" place like Cibo Urban Wine Cafe & Pizzeria decides to put this in the ladies room, I can't help but scowl.

See more shots in our Calexico slide show.There's one word that describes the Calexico concert at Heritage Square last night: Classy. From the tastefully-appointed stage, to the home-made tamales and high-end beer (Tecate and Four Peaks products only; no Bud) to the gorgeous textures of the band's unique blend of Western and Tejano music and indie rock, it was a show that felt more like the best wedding rece

• Big Feature on Chris Bianco in Martha Stewart Living

  Got a craving for Pizzeria Bianco lately? Better get yourself down there asap -- like, probably tonight -- before too many people start cracking open their brand-new copies of Martha Stewart Living. The place is notorious for its wait, but I'm betting it will soon be even longer. Phoenix's celebrated pizza maker, Chris Bianco, gets a gorgeous eight-page feature in the May issue, and it is utterly drool-worthy. Pictures of Chris drizzling olive oil on an unbaked pie.

• Pimping the Obvious in Phoenix

  A friend just sent me a link to today's dining post in Tasting Table, a sort of Daily Candy-style food newsletter with New York, Los Angeles, and "Everywhere" editions. Phoenix got the "Everywhere" love, except Tasting Table's four dining picks for this city were so predictable. I wish they would've tried a little harder to come up with novel spots to profile. Tarbell's? You could've sent this newsletter years ago and given the exact same nod to Tarbell's. Nothing wrong with the

• More Bianco Love From Gourmet and Food Wine

  In case you had any doubt that people are actually making pilgrimages to Phoenix for some Pizzeria Bianco action, get a load of the double-whammy of national media props for the restaurant -- which comes on the heels of Martha Stewart's six-page feature on Chris Bianco. This month, Gourmet features Chris Bianco's Pizza Philosophy, noting that Bianco "dispenses profane folk wisdom like a vending machine." And Food Wine's just-out June issue says Pizzeria Bianco has "arguably Amer

• Summer Break's Almost Over for Voltaire and Other Spots

  ​Restaurant owners Martin and David Antonelli are getting ready to reopen Voltaire next week, on September 10, after their annual summer break. The traditional French restaurant, located in Scottsdale, is one of a handful of local eateries that close down for extended vacations during the hottest -- and slowest -- time of year. Seems like the entire Farm at South Mountain closes, too, although Quiessence is already back in action. On September 8, the other two on-site restaurants, Far
