• Art Burn: "Clothing" Swap and Comfort Food at That's a Wrap

  Since we checked out the cool paper art at Green, we've been curious about what's going on over at sister restaurant That's a Wrap on 7th St. in Phoenix -- or at least, curious about what's going on their walls. The two veggie-friendly eateries were sired by restauranteur Damon Brasch, and like real sisters, there's some common ground (fresh salads and wraps) and personality differences (it's "mock meat" only for 'Lil Sis).  Detail of Cathedral Rock at

• Chef Beau MacMillan to Appear on Today Show

  Cardinals go to the Super Bowl, Arizona gets a windfall of PR. Totally expected. But publicity for a local chef is certainly an unusual perk for the Phoenix culinary world. Turns out, executive chef Beau MacMillan, from Elements at the Sanctuary on Camelback, is the lucky one getting the national exposure on the Today Show, this Friday. He's been selected to represent Arizona in a culinary challenge against an as-of-yet unannounced chef from Pittsburgh. (What does that say abo

Well, everywhere except Arizona.That's a bit of an exaggeration, of course, but the AUSTIN, TEXAS band (who may have some small connection to Arizona) recorded at The Saltmine in Phoe

• Right-Wing Extremist Violence Possible as Left Gets Its Way, Napolitano's Homeland Security Warns

  A new report by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warns of a "resurgence" in violent right-wing extremism, driven by economic and political factors such the election of President Obama. The hardscrabble economy, the return from war zones of "disgruntled" veterans, illegal immigration and the possibility of gun control all provide fodder for right-wing nuts who may join militias or act as "lone wolf" assailants, the report warns. The report worries that religious and political ze

• Green Day Announces Tour Dates (But Not Venues), Phoenix in August

  Green Day announced dates for their 21st Century Breakdown Tour this morning (full list on jump) but haven't said where they'll be playing in each city. They come to Phoenix on August 22. That could just be a hiccup -- bands do sometimes announce dates before venues if one or two are up in the air -- but I think in this case it might actually be that they're not sure where they're playing a lot of places. I don't think anyone quite knows what the appetite for Green Day will be considering they'
