Prime Time Review - 'Kitchen Nightmares' causes chaos for Scottsdale
Chef Gordon Ramsay is known in many households as an ornery man with a sharp tongue and a quick temper, poking and prodding at every instance of dissatisfaction he can find in a kitchen. Ramsay is best known for his shows, Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. Hell's Kitchen places contestants in a team based competition in which the greatest chefs rise to the top while the cooks fall by the wayside. Kitchen Nightmares places Chef Ramsay, who has an astonishing fifteen Michelin Stars, in failing restaurants with the mission to turn the establishments around. Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares have been runaway successes in both The United States and The U.K.

Basketry Treasured
Start: Fri, Jan 11, 2013 10:00 am
End: Fri, Jan 11, 2013 5:00 pm
Presented in honor of the state’s centennial, Basketry Treasured celebrates the ancient and abiding Arizona tradition of Native basketry. Five hundred stunning examples represent the staggering depth and breadth of Arizona State Museum’s peerless collection, recently designated an American Treasure. O’odham, Apache, and Hopi voices enrich the exhibit’s discussions of materials, technologies, traditions, and the many functions basketry has served and continues to serve in Native communities. Other stories tell of some of the early 20th century Arizonans whose personal assemblages became the foundation of ASM’s vast collection. Hands-on activities foster appreciation for the dexterity required of the craft. Visitors are sure to come away with a new appreciation for the basketry used in their own lives today.
