Mexican meat markets in Phoenix serve more than steak | Exclusive

At carnicerías around metro Phoenix, the smell of seasoned meats cooking on a grill out front or on a flattop behind the hot-food counter mixes with the aroma of freshly baked pan dulce, sold under an umbrella of colorful piñatas hanging from the ceiling. Customers move between the butcher counter, grocery shelves and prepared-food stations, often finding nearly everything they need for a family meal in one stop. Long before supermarkets filled their shelves with packaged goods and refrigerated meat, neighborhood markets were at the heart of everyday life in Mexico. They were places where families purchased food, merchants exchanged goods and communities gathered around the ingredients that shaped their culinary traditions. Today, that tradition continues in Arizona’s carnicerías, or Mexican meat markets, where the experience of shopping for food often extends beyond the butcher counter. Neighborhood meat markets are an essential part of Mexican culture According to William Beezley, professor emeritus of history at the University of Arizona, Mexico’s market tradition dates back centuries. When the Aztecs founded Tenochtitlan, markets became essential to supplying the city’s population. Vendors sold staples such as corn, beans and squash, along with fish and other foods. As trade expanded, merchants brought additional products

After Suspending Season, Phoenix Symphony to Resume Concerts

In Friday’s (11/6) Arizona Republic, Ed Masley writes, “The Phoenix Symphony will resume performances on Thursday, Nov. 12, after a concentrated fundraising effort secured sufficient commitments to lift the suspension of the 2026-27 season announced Oct. 20. The return comes less than three weeks after a severe cash shortage forced the symphony to announce the suspension of its 2026–27 season following a concert on Sunday, Nov. 1. The 66 musicians were laid off without pay on Monday, Nov. 2, the day after what was thought to be their final concert of the season. The musicians will return to work as the suspension lifts. ‘If this challenge has reaffirmed anything for me, it’s that every corner of our city shares a deep passion for the Phoenix Symphony,’ Mo Stein, chair of the Phoenix Symphony Association Board of Directors, said in a statement…. The musicians of the Phoenix Symphony also issued a statement saying they are ‘deeply grateful to the donors, audiences, and community members who stepped forward over the past two weeks to support both the Musicians of the Phoenix Symphony and the Phoenix Symphony Association …’ Continuing the season into 2027 will require additional fundraising. The musicians have committed to working alongside the symphony’s administration and the board to help raise those funds.”
