I met up with some friends of mine this last Sunday to watch the Raiders / San Diego game at a sports bar called Dark Horse on Ray and Rural in Chandler. Check out their menu! As a Raiders fan I could not bring myself to order it by name so I asked for “the second one down.” Here’s the problem: the name is bad but the burrito is soooooo delicious!

Here is the cover of the lastest Phoenix New Times:

It is the 2008 “Best Of…” edition which highlights the best things about the Valley of The Sun; places to eat, places to go, nightlife and best radio stations. Allow me to quote them:

Best Local Hip-Hop Radio Personality

Strawberry at 101.5 Jamz FM

www.1015jamz.com

Not only does scrappy Bay Area-born DJ Strawberry spin some of the hottest Top 40 and hip-hop jams from the likes of Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and the Valley’s own Willy Northpole during his weekday programs from 2 to 6 p.m., but he adds fun aspects to his show like “Will It Flush?” in which he takes all sorts of objects, from a screwdriver to a pair of headphones to his own toothbrush, to see whether they can disappear down the commode. If listeners correctly bet whether or not something will flush, they win a bag of swag. (You can also watch clips of items being flushed on the station’s Web site.) His on-air banter is quick and witty, and his love of sharing bizarre news — including how an employee of Warner Brothers Records’ office sits right beneath Madonna’s crotch on the giant promotional mural that covers the WBR building — is entertaining and endearing for listeners, too.
