The Burros of Biscuit Flat

At some point over the last 500 years, a branch of Arizona’s burro population went from being beasts of burden to party animals. At parties and events, you might spot these socialized donkeys hauling beer (Google: “beer burro”) while dressed in sarapes, sombreros and “special sanitary garments,” providing photo ops for bachelorettes and conventioneers. On the behavior scale, these highly trained jacks and jennies barely resemble their OG cousins that roam wild – and diaperless – on Biscuit Flat. Descended from hardy African pack animals used by the military, ranchers, explorers and miners dating to the 1500s, these feral beauties graze in several Arizona ranges, including the Bureau of Land Management Lake Pleasant Herd Management Area, a 103,000-acre space located 25 miles northwest of Phoenix.

Local metro Phoenix pizza restaurant closes all its locations

Fly Bye , a Sam Fox concept (owned by Cheesecake Factory since 2019) that served Detroit-style pizza and wings, closed both its locations after six years. The announcement was posted to Instagram on Nov. 11. According to the post, the concept launched six years ago as a ghost kitchen and grew to two brick-and-mortar locations. "We could not be more proud of our team and the journey we've been on together over the years, especially when it comes to the relationships with the neighborhoods we've been fortunate to serve," the post read. "Thank you for making us part of your lives over the last few years." Fans can still access the food at Doughbird on the Fly window at Doughbird's Seventh Street and Missouri Avenue location. Fly Bye began in 2020 as a to-go window. Both the Arcadia and Desert Ridge brick-and-mortar shops opened in 2022. Fox stepped down from the restaurant side in November to focus on his Author & Edit Hospitality group, the hotel arm behind The Global Ambassador in Phoenix and The Twelve Thirty Club in Nashville. Fans reacted with disappointment "First Tres Leches, and NOW FLY BYE?!?!" commented Albert Rivera. Bryan Aman-Antonio wrote: "I'm so sad
